What is a top end salary (weekly, net) these days?

What would you expect or look to be paid for a nanny / housekeeper role which is 12 hours a day, 5 days a week?

Sorry to ask a personal money question but I'm having difficulty getting a straight answer from agencies and nannies alike.

In Herts. Children aged 4 & 5 so in school (although 4 yr old does 2 x half days). Cooking, light housework (no loo cleaning or anything like that), laundry for whole family.

Depends on where you are, the age of the children and live in out live out.

For an example, I am a nanny/housekeeper who lives in and looks after 4 children and is paid for 7am to 7pm but works a lot more and is only paid 355/week.
