After school nanny pay rate

[fruitfly3]

We’re looking to hire an after school nanny for a couple of nights each week (5-6 hours in total). The person we’re keen on is 21 and a graduate, with some experience of childcare. What would you offer as an hourly rate? We’re in the North and I don’t want to be stingy but also have to keep the pennies in mind. What do you pay?

I pay £15 p/h for a similar candidate, outer London suburbs

I’d want to pay over minimum wage.

We pay £20 an hour. Good, part-time afterschool care is like finding a unicorn IMHO!! Ours is mid-60’s, so like a grandma. She cooks for our DC, plays games and supervises homework. She’s an angel.

I would say £15 per hour is fair.
Did you ask her salary expectations?
Out of interest what is she doing the rest of the time?

We pay £15 per hour, plus mileage.

You would need to employ them if they were a nanny, and £20 an hour.

Great, thank you. I’m going to propose £15 per hour based on that.

Remember that you also need to pay employers NI on top of their wages because you are their employer. You also need to provide them a pay slip so you may want to budget for a payroll company. And you either need to give them paid holiday or roll holiday pay into wages.

We pay 14 an hour. Not enough wage to require hmrc registration. Will put it up once she is settled in.

How to go about finding an after school nanny???

With great difficulty.

On a serious note - there are agencies, or you can advertise on local community forums or message boards.

Applicants tend to be TAs who want extra income or students who can make 4 hours a day-ish work round their studies or people who are retired. Career nannies tend to prefer full time roles.
