I've started looking at live-in nanny jobs, and I came across an advert today which I think is unreasonable, yet I'm unsure of what a 'normal' nanny salary consists of.
The family in question want a live in nanny (provided with one bedroom in their house) who works 12.5 hour days, 5 days a week and babysits evenings twice a week too, as well as clean and dog walk.
copied from ad- duties include:
- Light housework
- Changing sheets
- Laundry and ironing
- Cooking for the whole family
- Running errands
- Be in the house when our daughter returns from school
- Taking our daughter to occasional appointments
- Babysitting once or twice a week
- Dog walking
for all this they will pay £150 a week. Is this reasonable? It doesn't even work out to minimum wage and it is central London based.
Aware I might be being slightly naive!
