Hi all,

I am trying to figure out what the hourly rate would be for this role. I'm a little confused and based on my Google searches, I think I've got it narrowed down to a 10-15/per hour ball park but may be wrong so wanted to check with you all to make sure I am being fair.

Nanny would be part-time live out. 3-5 days per week. 2 hours per day. No cleaning, no cooking, no diaper changing, no feeding. Two children aged under 3 years old. Nanny's role is only to play and communicate with the children in Arabic (the aim is to expose the kids to this language). Read them books, play with them using their toys, some very light arts and crafts.

If 10-15 is about right, or you have a different suggestion, please do let me know. I'd be very appreciative. Thank you!

Assuming the nanny doesn’t have sole care, because either there’s a SAHP or other nanny in the home then £10-15 is fine.
Yes that's exactly the set up. I am a SAHM and will be home the entire time so will tend to nappies, feeding, clean up etc. The "nanny" (or should I call her a babysitter actually?) would only be required to sit in the living room with the kids and play with them and speak to them in Arabic. I'd be on hand the entire time.

We could only pay min wage which was £7.50 an hour I think

£15 ph in London would be normal, assuming you mean gross
