Hi, am in need of some urgent advice. I am currently exploring childcare options for my daughter and son for when i (hopefully) return to work in June. My daughter is currently at Nursery 2 days a week while I am on maternity leave with my son. There is a girl there who has expressed an interest in nannying for my daughter and son at my home. My daughter adores her so i am completely comfortable with her looking after them. However i have no idea what would be a reasonable amount to pay her. She is 20 without any Nannying qualifications, other than being a qualified first-aider. She is currently on the mimimum wage of £4.70 an hour and is working 47 hours a week spread over 5 days. I would probably only need her for 10 hours a day for 4 days. I have a figure of £6 gross an hour. This would give her around a £100 more a month plus working a day less. Aswell as (probably) an easier job with only 2 children to look after in a nicer enviroment.
Does this sound reasonable or is it too low?
