What is the difference?

[MUM2BLESS]

As a childminder I know we are expected to do quite a bit ie paperwork.

What are nannies expected to do and is the money a lot different? Do nannies do paper work?

No paperwork. No EYFS. Sometimes do baby diaries, though don't have to do so.

Money typically £7 to £15 gross per hour depending on location, experience, market conditions. Highest in central London.

Nannies do household tasks, such as children's washing, general tidying, cooking, doing general errands, may get involved with basic plumbing, rat catching, chicken feeding etc.

No paperwork, but genereally, from my experience, need to be a lot more flexible ie taking children to appointments/evening babysitting/doing what parents wish.

A childminder is their own boss. A nanny is an employee.

You would need to consider what happens about care of your own children... as a nanny they may not be able to come to work with you. Some families will accept a nanny with their own child but not all... plus there can be complications, such as what happens if the children go to different schools.

As a nanny you are an employee so are entitled to holiday pay and SSP (though some employers do pay sick pay). You also don't have the hassle of tax returns - though obviously you can't put down things down on expenses like a cm can.

Not wanting to be a nappy but just interested to know the difference.

I love the flexi. of being a childminder, love being my own boss.

Thanks for that.

a nanny generally works for one family at a time whereas a childminder may "work for" several families at once.

so a aur pair is like a nanny but also studying english?

an au-pair doesn't really exist now... it was a visa category. Still is sort of a visa category but only for two countries, I think - form BR3 :
"you will help in the home in which you are being placed for up to five hours a day; you will get at least two days off a week; you will get an allowance and your own room; and you are being placed with an English speaking family."
(from form BR3, UK Border Agency)

An au pair is a very murky term you don't want to get into on here. But basically yes, think of them as a very inexperienced nanny with a few differences like they're usually promptly here to improve their English.

Also technically no longer a visa category, an Accession Worker Card exemption category.

Why do childminders have to do EYFS?

Excuse earlier mistake meant to write nanny not nappy.

It compulsory I think introduced in 2008 when i started childminding.

Noel, the EYFS has been compulsory since Sept 08 for all childcare providers who are required to be registered on the Early Years Childcare Register, which includes childminders,(ie providing care for chn from birth to 31 Aug following child's 5th bday)
Badly worded but hope you get the gist. Nannies do not have to be registered and so are exempt from EYFS
