Editorial team and how we gather prices
Page updated:
We write about home services in Israel: nannies, cleaning, elderly care, pets and gardens. Here, briefly and plainly: who prepares the texts, where the numbers come from and what you can rely on.
Who writes the texts
The texts on this site are prepared by the EzraHome editorial team. Some material is written with the help of AI, and an editor then reads and corrects it. There are no bylines for individual authors: the editorial team is responsible for the content. We do not invent reviews, ratings or real-life examples; any figure on a page is either a market guide or official data with its source named.
Where prices come from
Prices on service pages are market guides, not tariffs. We build them from listings and price lists published by specialists and update them once a quarter. EzraHome does not set prices: each specialist names their own rate, shown in their profile. For some services the price is not per hour: a dog walk is counted per walk, boarding per night or day, garden work per visit. For those, an hourly figure is only a reference.
Where the legal facts come from
Information on the minimum wage, National Insurance contributions for a household worker and pay for work on the rest day or a holiday is taken only from official sources: the National Insurance Institute, gov.il and the Kol-Zchut portal (kolzchut.org.il). The list is below. Figures are for 2026 and may change.
What we do not do
We do not vet specialists, publish reviews or ratings, or choose a specialist for you. Specialists fill in their own profiles, and you settle details and terms with them in chat.
