How much is a nanny?

[topsi]

For a lively 4 year old? Just a ball park figure per hour would be helpful?

Where are you? 50 hours a week? Live-in or out?

Ballpark maybe £20k-£40k a year fulltime depending on the answers to these questions and the experience/qualifications of the nanny!

Lots more info needed really as it can vary around the UK, even within relatively short distances it can vary such as Richmond v Woking (both are in Surrey but the cost of a nanny will be different).

The hours of work and days of work can affect things.

I wouldn't look at things on an hourly basis but instead try to calculate the annual amount as that's the figure you need to know I suspect - how much it's going to cost. Hourly does not help as it may not take into account costs which are in addition to the salary.

Child's age and number of children I feel is not relevant. Nannies are paid on a per family basis, not per child, or variable due to child's age.

Very ball park - £37,000 a year - maybe around £14 an hour once everything is added in. See What's the total cost of having a nanny. Really though we need a lot more information to be able to give any reasonable figure.

Why do you need a nanny - early morning starts, late evening finishes? However much a nanny is in your area it will be more than other forms of childcare such as Childminder/Nursery as you only have 1 child. So are other forms of childcare not something you could use?

Blimey it adds up doesn,t it? Was just wondering really if it would be worth me going back to work full time and getting a nanny.
If the child is at school then would the nanny do jobs round the house as well?
Thanks everyone

Yes, a nanny does do some things around the home - mainly those which are child related.

Why are you thinking about a nanny? Does the childcare have to be provided at your home, Is a Childminder not an option?

You can get before/after school nannies - some may be able to do full-time during school holidays.
