How to find an experienced specialist with recommendations?

The safest way to find a nanny is to use specialized platforms with a multi-stage verification system, such as EzraHome.co.il. Independent searches via social networks are often risky, as you cannot be sure of the accuracy of the information provided about a candidate's past experience.

We take care of all the hiring routine:

• Thorough verification of documents (ID).
• In-depth interviews with candidates.
• Verification of recommendations from previous families.
• Consultations on legal registration with Bituach Leumi.

Case study: A family of repatriates from Haifa, trusting our service, found a Russian-speaking nanny for their two-year-old child in 48 hours, allowing both parents to return to work without stress or unnecessary bureaucratic hassle.

What factors influence the price?

Key factors determining how much a nanny costs include the work schedule, level of responsibility, and additional duties. If your plans include not only childcare but also cooking or taking the child to extracurricular activities, the specialist's rate will be higher than the standard one.

Main pricing criteria:

1. Child's age: Working with infants requires special qualifications and costs more.
2. Schedule: Part-time work (evening babysitting) is often priced higher than a full-time position.
3. Experience: Having a pedagogical education or verified recommendations increases the hourly rate.
4. Residential area: The cost of living and competition in Tel Aviv are always higher than in smaller towns on the periphery.

Why is professional recruitment advantageous?

Professional recruitment saves not only your time but also your money by eliminating the risk of frequent staff turnover due to unmet expectations. The nervous tension arising from a DIY search cannot be measured in shekels, but peace of mind regarding a child's safety is priceless.

Case study: A family from Jerusalem tried to hire a nanny through classified ads for a month, facing cancelled meetings and incompetence. By turning to EzraHome, they received a replacement specialist under our guarantee on the second day, saving them about 20 hours of time on a "secondary" search.
