How Much Does It Cost to Pick Up a Child From Kindergarten and Babysit Until Evening: Prices in Israel
On average, the cost of nanny services for picking up a child from kindergarten in Israel ranges from 50 to 80 NIS per hour, depending on the region and additional tasks. Many Israeli families need help with children in the evening when parents' work schedules do not align with kindergarten closing times.
How much does it cost to pick up a child from kindergarten?
The cost of nanny services for kindergarten pickup ranges from 50 to 80 NIS per hour, including transport costs and travel time. Many parents in Israel prefer a fixed fee for a "call-out" if the service takes less than two hours.
- Tel Aviv and the Center: 65–85 NIS per hour (high demand).
- Haifa and the North: 50–70 NIS per hour.
- Jerusalem: 55–75 NIS per hour.
It is important to consider that the price may include not only supervision but also preparing a light snack or taking the child to the playground while you are on your way back from work.
How to choose a reliable babysitter in Israel?
Your child's safety begins with a thorough background check: verifying references, conducting a personal interview, and checking documents. It is natural to worry about trusting your child to a stranger, which is why these checks are worth doing yourself: EzraHome does not vet specialists or select them for you.
Typical example: a family of repatriates from Haifa struggles to find a nanny for three evenings a week. Searching via social media takes up to 10 hours a week. Having described the job in one place and compared the responses, they choose a specialist whose references they have called themselves, saving time and gaining peace of mind.
Hourly nanny pay: what to look for
With hourly pay, it is important to agree in advance on the minimum order time and terms for travel expense compensation. Establishing legal employment relationships ensures that the specialist will take their responsibilities seriously.

Supervision services and help with children
Help with children in the evening is not just about supervision, but about creating a comfortable environment for the child after an active day at kindergarten. A specialist with skills in organizing leisure activities — worth asking about in the chat on EzraHome.co.il — helps the child cope better with the absence of their parents.
Typical example from Tel Aviv: A mother of two working in the high-tech industry hired a helper for daily kindergarten pickups. The child stopped throwing tantrums because the nanny always came up with new games during their walks, and the mother was able to finish her workday peacefully, knowing the children were safe.
