A peek at who's available right now.
Most nanny platforms treat families
like a transaction. We don't.
Agencies pick for you. When it fails, they send someone new. Yaya helps you build something that lasts.
You don't choose, they do. When it doesn't work, she's just replaced.
- No real shortlist, you take what's offered
- High commission keeps the best nannies away
- Replacements, not retention
Browse, message, interview, then choose the right nanny.
- Real choice: search, filter, compare
- Pay your nanny directly, no commission
- Built for long-term placements, not turnover
No cuts, no surprises. Your nanny keeps every dirham you pay her.
- Every profile checked by our team
- Direct payment to your nanny
- No lock-in, no long contracts
Discover what makes us unique.

You pay Yaya only for your subscription. Salary and benefits are agreed directly between you and the helper, ensuring full transparency and fairness.
Pausing your job post does not pause your subscription or its billing. You can pause a job post while interviewing or trialling candidates; your subscription remains active. Manage your subscription separately through the channel where you purchased it.
Every helper is screened by our onboarding team, and only about 30% are approved. While Yaya verifies basic details, families must always conduct their own due diligence — interview thoroughly, confirm references, and verify experience before hiring.
Yaya monitors login and activity data to ensure visibility of only active helpers. Profiles with no activity are flagged and removed automatically, so you always see genuine, available candidates.
Yaya lists nannies, nanny/maids, nanny/caregivers, maids, cooks, and drivers. We also feature specialists for childcare, household support, wellness, and development.
Helpers typically list expected salaries between BHD 200 and 500 per month depending on role and experience. Payments go directly to the helper; Yaya takes no commission.
You can chat securely in-app, call, or connect via WhatsApp. Many helpers are working during the day, so responses might take time.
Yes, if your settings allow. Helpers can apply to your jobs inside the app, but Yaya never shares your contact details externally for privacy.
We have many families hiring daily. The best option is to check back often, on the web or in the app, and use the "last active" time on profiles as a good indicator of availability. We also deactivate inactive profiles based on activity.
Families' contact details are never shared publicly. If a family chooses, helpers can apply directly to their job posts, and can use Yaya messaging on CareFinder Web or in the app. Calls and WhatsApp conversations take place outside Yaya.
Many helpers include references from previous employers. Yaya doesn't verify these directly but lists them clearly so families can easily cross-check with prior employers before hiring.
Yes. Yaya maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination or misconduct. We promote equality and inclusion across all users and investigate any reported issues immediately.
No. Yaya is a platform — not an agency — that connects families directly with verified helpers. There are no placement fees or commissions, and subscriptions can be purchased on CareFinder Web or through the Yaya mobile app.
Use our smart filters to narrow your search by role, experience, languages, live-in/live-out, and more. Read profiles carefully, watch video greetings, and message early. Friendly, clear messages get faster replies and help you find a match quickly.
Yaya is customer-centric with live-agent support seven days a week, on the web at CareFinder and in the Yaya app. We review every profile before it goes live, proactively deactivate inactive helpers, and offer secure messaging, video greetings, and powerful filters — all without agency markups. Web purchases are managed through CareFinder; App Store and Google Play purchases are managed through the relevant store.
