Nanny with own child - going rate?

31 replies

I’m in London and a friend’s nanny is on maternity leave. My friend won’t need her at the end of her mat leave as her child is starting school but we will be looking for someone. I was wondering what the going rate is/percentage discount from standard when the nanny has their own child? The nanny’s child and our youngest are the same age and will be 1, my elder daughter will be 3 and at nursery most of the time.

Our nanny has 3 children and it’s £10ph for her to have my two. We are in Scotland though. It works for us as it’s kind of a blend of nanny and childminding.

Your child will never be the priority for the nanny in this situation. I’d avoid

We paid £11 to our NWOC but I’d never do it again. Paying to have nanny do homework with their child while your kids watch tv (which they could do for free) while you work to pay the nanny just never sat well with me. To each their own though.

Thank you. Yes, I’d assumed there would be a discount. If not then I would choose a nanny without a child. Where I am the going rate seems to be £13/14/hr net (I will pay gross but seems to be standard to refer to the net rate) so would you say £11/12/hr? It will be 4 days a week if that’s relevant.

I’ve Always said £1/2 ph less then the going rate

Other nannies disagree abs say they want/get the same

I see it and I’m a nwoc tho work nights now as a mn

But nanny won’t be 100% on her charges

Nanny has no childcare to pay

Nanny has own child with her

All perks
