About Aunty Nyumbani
Aunty Nyumbani is a Kenyan online platform where families find nannies, house helps, house managers and babysitters (we call them aunties) near home, and where aunties find good families to work for. It was designed, built and is maintained in Kenya by Bravura.
How it works
- Families browse auntie profiles for free, by neighbourhood or town, live-in or live-out.
- To call an auntie, a family pays KES 199 by M-Pesa to unlock her phone number.
- Aunties publish a profile for KES 99 a month. The first 50 aunties list free for their first month.
- There are no placement fees and no commission on anyone’s salary.
How we keep it honest
- Reviews only from confirmed work. A family can review an auntie only after unlocking her and the auntie confirming they worked together (or our team, if there’s a dispute).
- Privacy first. Phone numbers and referee contacts are never shown publicly.
- Report anything. Every profile and review has a report button, and our team reviews reports.
- Clear about what we are. We are a platform, not a bureau. We don’t vet, hire or supervise aunties, so we show families how to check references and a Certificate of Good Conduct themselves.
