No.1 Parenting App in Bahrain

Founded in the Middle East

Our story.

Yaya Middle East was built by parents, for parents.

When our co-founders Rui and Marilena had their first child in the UAE, they faced the same problem thousands of Bahrain families know well: finding trusted childcare meant navigating Facebook groups, unreliable listings, and costly agencies, with no real way to verify who you were inviting into your home.

So they built Yaya Middle East. A dedicated mobile app where every caregiver profile is individually reviewed, every listing is kept current, and families can connect directly, without agencies, without hidden fees, and without compromise.

Today, Yaya Middle East is the region's leading dedicated childcare mobile app, with over 100,000 downloads and more than 2,000 five-star reviews across Bahrain and the wider Gulf. Families use Yaya to find nannies, housemaids, night nurses, tutors, babysitters, and specialist care, all in one place.

We believe finding the right person for your family should be straightforward, transparent, and safe. That's what we're building.

A game changer for finding helpers! The subscription gave me access to a wide range of nannies with helpful videos and filters to narrow my search. Within 1 week, I found the perfect fit for our family. Yaya made the process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend it

A Trustworthy and Seamless Way to Find the Perfect Nanny. I recently used Yaya to find a nanny, and the experience was extremely positive. I've been recommending the app to anyone looking for a trustworthy profile. The navigation is smooth and user-friendly, and each nanny has a very detailed profile. It's clear that a thorough screening process takes place behind the scenes, which gives you real reassurance about the people you're considering meeting. The filtering system is also very effective, helping you narrow down your search to profiles that truly match your needs. Overall, a great job done behind the scenes. I highly recommend Yaya if you're on the hunt for the perfect nanny.

YAYA has been so helpful in our nanny search! We have found such a great pool of candidates. The pre screening is really helpful and we appreciate the fact that we can exchange on the app without exchanging numbers. The app is super user friendly with great recommendations. First time we are satisfied with a platform and there is nothing like it. Highly recommend!
