Look for the badge.
ID-verified.
Before you meet.
The badge only appears after two checks pass: a government ID, and a live selfie matched against it. It's on their profile before you ever send a message, not something you have to take on trust.

Everything families ask before they hire: straight answers, no fine print.
How does Pinoyaya verify yayas and housekeepers?
Helpers can complete identity verification (a government ID plus a live selfie match) to earn an ID-Verified badge on their profile. Not every helper has completed it yet, so always check for the badge and talk to a helper directly before you hire.
Are helpers background-checked?
No — Pinoyaya does not run criminal background checks. What we verify is identity: a government ID matched against a live selfie, shown as the ID-Verified badge once completed. Some helpers mention an NBI clearance or a training certificate in their own profile description, but treat that as a claim to check yourself, not something we have confirmed. Always ask to see the document.
Is it safe to hire a yaya through an app?
Yes, and arguably safer than a tita's referral or a Facebook group. You can check for the ID-Verified badge, read a helper's own description of their work, compare experience and rate, and report anyone from inside the app. Repeat complaints lead to suspension and removal.
How is Pinoyaya different from a traditional yaya agency?
Traditional agencies typically charge a ₱3,000–₱8,000+ placement fee and can take weeks. With Pinoyaya there is no placement fee, no commission and no middleman: browse helpers free, then buy a one-time pass from ₱399 (7 days) or ₱699 (30 days) when you're ready to message. You hire and pay your helper directly.
How much does Pinoyaya cost?
Browsing helpers, posting a job and seeing who applied are free. To message, reply and send offers, families buy a one-time pass: from ₱399 (7 days) or ₱699 (30 days), price as shown in the App Store / Google Play. Passes never renew, and there is no placement fee or commission. Helpers use Pinoyaya free.
