Care connects us across East Africa.
Mlezi starts with families hiring in Kenya and welcomes adult caregivers to describe their experience. This guide helps people from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda understand the marketplace.
Start with the work, not where someone comes from
Choose childcare experience, language, availability and the care arrangement your family needs. A country of origin does not tell you someone’s skills or suitability. Search results respect your filters, with clearly labelled Premium placement among matching caregivers.
Agree a clear arrangement
Live-in, live-out, occasional, newborn and travel care involve different hours and duties. Discuss pay, rest time, accommodation and any travel costs directly before agreeing to work together.
Joining from another country
A Mlezi account or an identity badge does not grant permission to work or travel. Confirm the requirements for the country where the work will take place. We do not promise cross-border placements, transport or immigration services.
