Looking for a nanny or helper job in the UAE?
Here's how Yaya works, step by step.
Step one. Download the Yaya app.
It's free to join. No fees, no commissions. You keep 100% of what you earn.
Step two. Create your profile.
When you sign up, choose "I'm a Nanny or Domestic Helper". The wrong account type can delay your approval.
Take your time. Add clear photos, all your work history, your skills, and a short video of you talking to families.
A complete profile gets checked faster, and families are more likely to contact you.
Profiles with missing details may not be approved.
Use your own details and your own CV. Profiles with someone else's details will be rejected.
When you're done, submit your profile for review.
Step three. Our system and our team check every profile. This takes 24 to 48 hours.
About 3 in 10 profiles are approved, so a complete profile really matters.
Step four. When you're approved, we'll message you on WhatsApp, and families can see your profile.
Step five. On Yaya, you don't wait to be found. You can apply to family jobs yourself.
Open a family's job, and read it carefully. Then write a personal message about why you're a good fit.
The family reads your application. If they accept, you can chat.
Families can also shortlist you, and message you first.
Step six. Talk with the family, and meet for an interview.
Step seven. When a family hires you, they sponsor your visa, the legal way.
And remember: Yaya is always free. Real families will never ask you for money.
Your next family is on Yaya.

Tips to get your profile approved.
Follow these guidelines to perfect your profile & ensure it stands out to families across the UAE.
Upload a great video.
Face the camera.
Good lighting makes all the difference. Find a bright spot, face a window, and make sure families can see your face clearly.
Speak clearly and smile.
Say your name, your experience, and why you love working with children. Confidence and warmth go a long way.
Keep it under two minutes.
A focused, natural video beats a long one. Families watch dozens of videos. Make yours easy to remember.
Highlight your skills.
Your childcare experience counts.
Talk about the age groups you've worked with, specific duties you've handled, and specialist skills, from preparing healthy meals to supporting children with learning needs.
Languages open more doors.
UAE families come from all over the world. If you speak Arabic, French, Tagalog, or any other language, make sure it's front and centre on your profile.
Take your time.
