To ask what you would pay

[mama202]

For a nanny who provides one to one childcare and does some other jobs around the house as and when possible when child is napping such as washing, making dinner and cleaning. TIA

Depends region you live in

Live in Herts/ Essex region

Isn't the going rate for a nanny about 30k? Plus NI, pension etc.
Cash in hand much cheaper, but not legal.

Do nannies do housework and cook?

What would be daily/weekly hours of work? Age of child likely to matter too,.

I was wondering per hour rate. That's how we are paying at the moment. Nanny has now asked to be PAYE and for a pay rise. She wanted cash previously. We also have a baby but she only looks after the toddler

Toddler is 2 and she works from 8.30 to 5.30 normally

We pay a little over £15 an hour

I've got a couple of nanny friends; in London I know of one on £42k and one on £37k. Both have their own car and expenses for lunch out etc.

If you can’t work out a per hour rate from an annual salary I’d consider whether you should be an employer.

I don't have a nanny, so possibly not qualified to answer, but cleaners in this neck of the woods (SE, not London) get paid £15+ an hour, so I'd think somewhat more than that.

Whereabouts are you based hotstottie and what does your nanny do? Does she do any other jobs as well as childcare?

A quick and dirty (but surprisingly accurate) way of working out annual vs hourly pay is - double the hourly rate and call it thousands. Ie £20 per hour equals £40K per year. And the reverse.

goat the hours are not set in stone, this is why we are working to an hourly rate

Essex area depending on experience would be £12- £16 gross per hour .

We’re near Cheshire. As well as the childcare our Nanny does housework, dc’s laundry, will cook dc’s dinner. In addition to her salary we also provide accommodation including all bills and the use of a car. So without those I would expect to be paying her a higher hourly rate than we do.
