Nanny salaries in NW London

[tiggersreturn]

Can anyone give me a feel for what the bands of pay are? We're interviewing at the moment and people have been asking for £8-10ph net and a few who I've refused to interview have asked for £11-12. I am only going to offer a gross wage but on a 52.5 hr week £10ph is very expensive. Would be interested to know what general salaries people are paying. The job is looking after twin babies and a school age child.

I'm in West London and for a live-out nanny £10ph net is standard. Nannies that are new to the country/ very young/ unqualified/inexperienced get around £8ph net. A very qualified (Norland)/very experienced (at least 10 years) nanny would get £12ph net +. A less qualified/experienced nanny may get £12+ if there are a lot of children or it is a nanny share.

I'm in east london and think that around £10ph is about right. I have a PT nanny for 30 hrs a week term time and we pay her £11.50 but she is experienced and very good and flexible happy to work more hours and FT during holidays. I think it depends on where you live.

Thanks I was wondering if people are paying the higher rates for 5 day weeks as while those rates on a pt basis give a certain salary on a ft basis they give salaries ranging from $36000-45000 (phone doesn't do pounds)

I'm in west hampstead and the standard rate is £10/hour, however, I think you're right to say that's for part time, you may well get away with a lower hourly rate for full time, most nannies would prefer to have a full time position. I actually don't know anyone with a full time nanny live out as its too expensive, most either work part time or do a combo of after school clubs/nannies and nurseries.
Where abouts are you? There is new nursery at fortune green that isn't't super expensive that takes children from about 20 months.

Hendon but I have 8 month twins and a 5 yr old in school who needs taking, pick up, school holidays and sick days so nanny is our only option.

i think you have to go by the quality of applicants. If you want someone who is looking for more money then there might be a reason for that. i.e they are more in demand (hence you also want them). This could be either due to experience, quals. or just the right kind of personality who fits lots of families. £10net I would say sounds fair. Seems cheaper than childminder for three children. If you had ony one child maybe you would get more/cheaper applicants. Not that salary is based on child number but just employees just consider what they are prepared to do for the money before applying.

we will be paying £7 an hour from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, 3 days a week to look after a 6 month old baby and 2 year old and a four year. She is young though, 18 and is on a gap year with only previous experience being a babysitter for us and other local families. We looked into more experienced nannies but for us £10 is just not worth it, i may as well not be working, also i felt in terms of discipline the children would listen and prefer someone younger that is not trying to be like a mother figure looking after them.
