Adjustment in nanny pay rate for bringing own child?

[TwigletMonster]

Just wondered what the average reduction in a nannies usual rate is, for a nanny who brings their own child to work?

Trying to work it out objectively (ie. amount nanny is saving on childcare + supply of food to child) but that seems to be a lot more of an reduction than the nanny is likely to accept.

Is there a norm?

do you want to keep your nanny?
if so i think you just dont give a payrise
If it is a new nanny you have to negotiate a rate that suit you both
some on hear with give you % but in reality it want you can afford to pay and what nanny can afford to earn
if you want the hassle of nanny with child
if she wants to come back to work with a baby you dont have to accept it

Where I live the usual going rate for a nanny is £10 pH (gross). But all the nannies I interviewed who wanted to bring own child were looking for £7-8 pH.

We had a nanny who brought her own child, the same age as ours. She was advertising as a nanny who would bring her own child, rather than she had a child during her employment, so slightly different. We paid about a third less than the going rate, as she was effectively a nanny share with herself.

It worked really well - especially as they were the same age and enjoyed the same activities and outings. You need to think about what happens when her child is ill - or yours. As they were the same age, she used our food for her DC, but her own nappies and milk for hers.

Thanks - I was thinking about a third blu but that seems a bit more of a reduction than is usual here.

She isn't a current nanny, she's someone who is advertising as wanting to bring her child. I think it could work really well, and she has contingency for when her little one is ill.

I think 25% would be OK, too.
We just viewed any reduction as making the whole thing affordable for us.

I would say 25-30% less. It seems fair to me and roughly what you'd pay as half a nanny share with a 25-30% hike.

So if nanny was £10/hour then in a share that could reasonably be £13, meaning you pay £6.50 but with own child it could be £7 IYSWIM.

Of course a NWOC isn't a share but there are similarities in that nanny isn't giving your DC undivided attention etc.

33% seems a lot and normally 15/20%

Confusing isn't it! To be honest, there's no point me loosing a good nanny over 50p per hour. The total cost would still be less than other childcare options for our 2 DC per day.

I did 20% less.

I always got the same rate takeing my child with me.

I think 20-25% seems fair and the norm. I dont think a nanny should expect to bring a child to work and also shouldnt expect to earn the same as if she didnt bring the child - not many jobs can you take your child to work all the time and save on childcare costs.

Equally the reduction in rates has to be fair as it needs to be cost effective to the nanny in that she isnt using childcare to save costs but the reduction cant be too much as she doesnt then save
