How much to pay nanny?

Hi guys looking for some advice. How much is a reasonable amount to pay a nanny/au pair that will be live in and has recently come to the UK? We recently became parents and sadly have no help from family and have busy jobs but want the best care for our son while we are working from home too. I’ve found someone from the Philippines who is a young girl that I’d have to train but is looking for a job. She wants to live in Monday - Saturday so wondering how I should approach the salary conversation? Any help or advice is much appreciated!

First thing to work out - is she an au pair or a nanny? Because they have very, very, different responsibilities and pay scales.
