About HouseHelp

HouseHelp.co.ke is Kenya's open house-help platform — the direct alternative to a bureau. Browse verified house help near you and hire them directly, without the agency fees: nannies, house managers, cooks, cleaners, maids, housekeepers, caregivers and gardeners.

What we do

Hiring house help in Kenya usually means relying on word of mouth and hoping for the best. HouseHelp makes it open and direct: thousands of nannies, house managers, cooks, cleaners, caregivers and gardeners list their skills, location and availability so employers can browse, compare and reach out — no agency middleman, no guesswork.

Whatever you call them — house help, house girl, maid, nanny or house manager — you can find the right person by area, skills, languages, salary and availability.

How it works

Browse house help by county or neighbourhood, open a profile to see skills, experience, languages and expected salary, then contact the helper directly to interview and hire. See the full walkthrough on how it works.

Verified & trusted

Helpers can verify themselves with a National ID, Certificate of Good Conduct, a letter from their local Chief, and work references. Verified badges show on a profile once our team reviews each document — so you can hire with more confidence.

For employers

Search by area, skills, languages, salary and more. Your first contacts are free; after that you top up by M-Pesa. You always reach helpers directly — call or WhatsApp.
