How much to pay English Au Pair in London?

Hi
I'm looking to employ an 18 year old English au pair for 25 hours a week split over 3 days (so she'll have 2 days off plus evenings and weekends).

The duties are quite light (taking my toddler to local playgroup in the morning then just an extra pair of hands helping me in the evening).

She'll have a large double room plus sole use of the 'playroom' with sky tv / wifi etc in the evenings but will need to share a bathroom.

We live in a popular part of SW London but aren't offering any other perks (eg travelcard / phone / language course) because it doesn't really apply in her case.

How much would you pay per week please? And would this include any babysitting or would that be an hourly rate on top?

Would be so grateful for any responses as I'm struggling to find any answers online!

Thank you Thanks

Sorry should have added the area is SW suburban London.

About £70-£100 per week and it includes 2 night of baby-sitting a week.
I think most local people here pay about £80.

Anybody got a rough idea?

Not at all, I'd be happy with any kind of au pair but this is a specific girl I'm talking about who happens to be 18 and English! Sorry I didn't explain very well!

I can't advise on pay as I'm no longer in the UK and am out of touch.

But ... is there any particular reason you want an English au pair? How easy/difficult would it be to recruit an 18-year old English girl to work those hours?

Just wondering, as I've never really heard of that.
