Daneh was incredibly helpful in our search. Always quick to respond and sending us candidates. We had been searching for a long time before using House of Yaya, but after we got in touch with them, within a matter of weeks we had hired someone who met all our criteria. I would highly recommend them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience with The House of Yaya. I recently recruited a holiday nanny for three weeks and the process was extremely smooth and efficient. Daneh was incredibly helpful in finding me the perfect placement and made everything stress-free. Highly recommend their services!

Fantastic service. We received 4 CVs within 24 hours matching our desired profile. Quick whatsapp video interviews following by us finalizing one person. Incredibly fast, efficient service. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant service. Daneh was so responsive, caring and brilliant at finding candidates. The search fee is worth it. Would totally reccomend this agency.

Finding an au pair or live-in nanny in our area was honestly really tough, and I appreciated from day one that Daneh never gave us false expectations. She was always upfront about the challenges but stayed positive and supportive throughout. It took about a year to find our perfect live-in housekeeper/nanny, and I’m so grateful to Daneh for her patience and dedication during that time. She really took the time to understand our family’s unique needs and was always available whenever I needed to chat or ask questions. Thanks to her, we now have someone who fits seamlessly into our home and life, and I honestly wouldn’t trust any other agency with this important search. Daneh made what felt impossible, possible — and for that, I’ll always be thankful.

Daneh was absolutely brilliant. She was so easy to deal with, immediately understood precisely what we were looking for, and was responsive at any time of day. Within a week, she had found the perfect candidate for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Daneh was great from the first contact with her agency. She immediately understood our requirements and was very flexible with them - looking for the perfect people and minimizing time wasting. We ended up with the dream housekeeper/nanny and would not hesitate to recommend house of Yaya to anyone looking for domestic staff! Thank you!

Lack of proactivity and underwhelming nannies Contacted Daneh with an urgent case of departing nanny. Had to chase and push every step of the way to get candidates through. After much hassle, received a weak set of under-qualified nannies. Would not recommend.

Dear Katie,

Thank you for your feedback. As a valued returning client, we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

We'd like to clarify a few points regarding our recent interaction:

Timeline: You contacted us on November 4th regarding a nanny position with a January start date. While we understand the importance of planning ahead, this timeline doesn't align with the "urgent case" mentioned in your review.

Your search lasted just 6 days before you found your own candidate, with the first 3 days dedicated to confirming your specific requirements—a vital step in our matching process. Once we had your confirmed criteria, we promptly began our search, working efficiently to identify suitable candidates for the position starting in two months.

Salary Considerations: As discussed, the offered salary was below the current market rate, which limited the candidate pool. Despite this challenge, we strived to find suitable matches.

Refund Request: We received your refund only a few days after beginning our search. While we couldn't provide a refund due to work already undertaken, we continued our efforts to assist you.

Candidate Submissions: Despite the timeframe we provided several candidates meeting your criteria within the given constraints. We're sorry you found them unsuitable.

Changed Circumstances: We understand that finding a candidate independently may have influenced your perception of our submitted candidates.

We always aim to provide high-quality service and regret that we couldn't meet your expectations on this occasion. We value your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. Please feel free to contact us directly to address any remaining concerns.

Thank you for your understanding. We hope to have the chance to serve you better in the future.

Best regards,
Team Yaya

Avoid at all costs. Use Littleones or eden or search yourself. They’re scammers. Paid the fees after we trialled a so called nanny housekeeper for our 4 children. She started and after a few days decided to leave without any notice. Stole valuable possessions. Agency didnt provide a replacement or an apology or my fees back.

Dear Pooja,

We take your feedback very seriously and are committed to upholding the highest standards of service. After a thorough review, we cannot find any record of the incident or your details in our system.

Our policy guarantees a replacement for up to three months following a placement, and it is highly unusual for us not to take action if a candidate departs after only a few days. We are committed to resolving this matter swiftly and effectively.

Please provide us with more information or contact us directly at so we can address your concerns promptly.

Thank you

The House of Yaya helped us recruit a nanny housekeeper who has just started working with us and we are having a great time so far. Daneh was very proactive in identifying candidates and helping organise trials days. We would definitely recommend trial days as it helps for both you and the nanny to get to know each other more. Daneh provided excellent communication and guidance and we are pleased with the service provided. We live in Surrey so were initially not sure whether we would find candidates but Daneh found quite a few candidates very quickly. We would recommend the House Of Yaya.

Daneh and her team have provided our family with an incredible service, far better than any agency we have worked with. Living outside of London, we had been searching for months to find a replacement for our live in, and Daneh introduced us to the best candidate we had interviewed by far. She also made the process completely effortless and was very accommodating when it came to some of the special preferences we had. We really could not recommend her more!

Fraudulent agency. Failed to provide references or check candidates. Refused to carry out criminal checks unless further payment (over the advertised 3500) was given. Avoid at all costs.
Reply from The House of Yaya 2023.06.06
Aruna, we are shocked and saddened to see this review. Calling us fraudulent is borderline libellous and, given your profession, you likely know that.

We would like to clarify to readers that we found Aruna a suitable candidate at only the second try. Aruna carried out a phone interview and then offered the candidate a trial without informing us, then on day one of the trial signed a contract with the candidate. This gave us no opportunity or time to confirm references or the CRB checks. It has been 10 days since the candidate signed the contract and started work, and Aruna has expressed her satisfaction with us regarding the candidate she employed. We have only now received a request for references, which Aruna has and was satisfied with, only to be told we haven’t done our job and been given a terrible review after we raised Aruna's overdue payment for part of the placement fee.

We are very transparent with our costs, both on the website, in emails and on the phone with each client. Our search fee and placement fee are independent of each other. Aruna had ample time to raise any concerns prior to the candidate starting, however, nothing has been mentioned until now when Aruna has claimed to have found ambiguity in a sentence of our terms in order to save some money.

Aruna, as mentioned multiple times on email, we are more than happy to carry out a criminal check but as per our terms, we also expect payment to be made in full.
