AIBU to think they are paying too little? (nanny related)

I've started looking at live-in nanny jobs, and I came across an advert today which I think is unreasonable, yet I'm unsure of what a 'normal' nanny salary consists of.

The family in question want a live in nanny (provided with one bedroom in their house) who works 12.5 hour days, 5 days a week and babysits evenings twice a week too, as well as clean and dog walk.

copied from ad- duties include:

  • Light housework
  • Changing sheets
  • Laundry and ironing
  • Cooking for the whole family
  • Running errands
  • Be in the house when our daughter returns from school
  • Taking our daughter to occasional appointments
  • Babysitting once or twice a week
  • Dog walking

for all this they will pay £150 a week. Is this reasonable? It doesn't even work out to minimum wage and it is central London based.

Aware I might be being slightly naive!

I was earning 500 a week in a my last live in job. So yes what they are looking to pay is au pair wages.
