Does £450.00 sound a fair wage for 22 hours (7 weeks paid holiday + bank holidays a year)

Part-time nanny bringing her own 3 month old baby with her.

Will she liable for tax & NI, can I pay her in Childcare vouchers?

Thanks

This is her net wage!

Whats the difference in wages between London prices and elsewhere (Cardiff)?

Oh, I see now you are in South Wales. I think this is probably a reasonable wage.

Is this gross or net? This is about £4.68 per hour. Is that within minimum wage? I think it might be but I am not sure. If you consider that this is a nanny share, then £4.68 from you is really more like £9 something per hour as a total wage. So, it's not too far off, depending on level of experience and your location.

I have to admit I was thnking in terms of London wages so ignore everything I have said as I have no idea what would be fair in SW. If your nanny is happy with the pay then it's fine.

Do you think that is not a fair wage?

And surely this is almost a nanny share situation, as I am sharing my nanny with other child (albeit hers!!)

We live in South Wales.

If she's happy with that amount of pay now then she will probably accept what you are paying when you halve her hours. If she finds another part time nanny job to cover loss of earnings she may realise that you are not paying her a fair wage.

i still earn £7-8 per hr and i work with my own toddler. your holidays seem generous though . what does your nanny think?

What about her bringing her own baby to work wih her though? and the 7 weeks Paid holidays a year!

That would be her net wage. We employ her at the moment - she earns £900 net every month - so I thought as I am halving her hours I could halve her wages!!

Very low.

A mid range nanny rate would be £7 net per hour. That means you should be paying around £670 net per month. Tax and NI are your responsibility and will add about £250ish a month on top.

You could rebate it a bit because she is bringing her own child. So say to £600 (10% ish deduction). However, I think this is probably already reflected in the relatively low rate per hour of £7 and her flexibility in working a part week for you.

Your holidays are more generous than the contractural arrangements most nannies have, although in practice I think most nannies get more than their contracts state. Ours certainly does!

sorry 'wasn't' not 'was'

goingfor3 · 17/05/2007 09:27

Smmes quite low to me. I earnt £200 for 36 hours per week 7 years ago and even then that was a 'good' wage.

allgonebellyup · 17/05/2007 09:26

er, not sure.You will have to pay her tax and NI though.

i earn £600 a month after tax as a nanny and work 18hrs a week.
