I will be going back to work soon. I am planning to have a nanny for my two boys who are five years and six months. I will be working 4 days a week and want child care from 8am to 6pm. Please could anyone tell me to how much could I be expected to pay for this?

Possibly an employers market at the moment, so you may be able to start someone on a lower salary then increase it over the years.

£8-12 gross per hour I suspect would be a reasonable range.

As an experienced, qualified nanny working 4 days per week about a 20 minute journey from KonT I'm on about mid that range.

Work out the annual cost, include as many of the associated costs as you feel are reasonable so you get an idea of what it will cost you as the employer.

You'd be looking at somewhere between £10 and £13ph I would think.

We live in south west region, Kingston upon Thames. I am looking for someone with some experience and basic qualification.

Could you give some basic location detail such as country, if you are in a city, town or rural. Also are you wanting someone experienced, qualified, or would you not mind someone doing their first nanny job?
