Pinoyaya is a Philippine app for hiring household help directly: yayas, housekeepers, caregivers, cooks, drivers and tutors. Browsing, posting a job and seeing who applied are free; a one-time pass (₱399 for 7 days or ₱699 for 30 days) lets families message and send offers. Helpers join free, and there is no agency, placement fee or commission.
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.
How is Pinoyaya different from a traditional yaya agency?
Agencies often charge a 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 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?
It can be, if you use the safeguards. Check for the ID-Verified badge, chat in the app before you meet, ask to see documents such as an NBI clearance yourself, and report anyone who worries you. Reports go to the Pinoyaya team, who can suspend or remove accounts.
