Filipino nannies.
It's what we know.
Not simply another category on a long list of household staff.
House of Yaya specialises in experienced Filipino nannies, nanny-housekeepers and household professionals. We know the candidate community, the breadth of experience within it, and how important it is to find the individual who fits your family.
A specialist network, not a search filter.
Families often come to us specifically because they want access to the Filipino candidate community we work with every day.
Our role is not to assume that every candidate is the same. It is to understand each person's experience, strengths, preferences and ambitions — and then match those to a clearly defined role.
That is the difference between recruiting by label and recruiting a person.
The person behind the profile.
Experience matters. So do references and practical skills. But households are personal environments, which means the strongest match usually depends on more than credentials alone.
Relevant experience
Children's ages, private-household background and experience with responsibilities genuinely comparable to your role.
Working style
How someone communicates, takes initiative, follows routines and works alongside parents or other household staff.
Practical skills
Childcare, cooking, laundry, organisation, housekeeping, driving or travel — according to the actual position.
Expectations
Hours, duties, salary, live-in or live-out arrangements, time off and what both sides want from a long-term role.
Filipino is our speciality. Individuality is how we match.
A nationality doesn't tell you whether someone will click with your children, your routine or your home.
We specialise because we have built knowledge, relationships and reach within this candidate community — not because we believe every Filipino nanny has the same personality or skills.
We look at the individual. That's what makes the specialism useful.
What could your Yaya
look like?
The job title should follow the reality of the household. We help families define responsibilities clearly before matching begins.
Dedicated Nanny
Child-focused care, routines, development, activities, school or nursery runs and children's organisation.
Explore nanny support →Nanny-Housekeeper
A blended role combining childcare with clearly agreed household responsibilities, often around nursery or school hours.
Explore nanny-housekeepers →Housekeeper
For households whose primary need is cleaning, laundry, ironing, organisation and the smooth running of the home.
Explore housekeepers →We would rather send three people worth meeting than thirty CVs.
The shortlist should already reflect the conversation we've had with you.
We define the role, search our network, look at relevant experience and availability, and then consider the less measurable things too: communication, expectations and whether the working relationship makes sense for both sides.

The House of Yaya approach
Filipino nanny FAQs.
Do you only recruit Filipino nannies?
Filipino nannies and household professionals are the network we know best, and the work we specialise in. Every introduction is still based on that person's experience, availability and fit with your role.
Can you find both live-in and live-out candidates?
Yes. The right arrangement depends on the role, location, hours and candidate availability.
Can a nanny also help around the house?
Yes, where the position is clearly defined as a nanny-housekeeper and the household responsibilities, childcare duties and working hours are agreed from the outset.
How do you decide who to introduce?
We consider relevant experience, practical requirements, availability, expectations and working style, alongside the family's needs and the candidate's own preferences.
What about right to work in the UK?
Candidates for UK placements must have the right to work, and we verify that documentation during the search. The employer's guide and domestic worker visa page cover the wider hiring context.
