Please can you quote gross or net pay per 24hrs not weekly.

Many thanks just it's hard to find an example on the internet of a similar role, as an employed position!

Not permanent, but I would charge £264 net. £12 net 7am-7pm, £10 net 7pm-7am

As a permanent mon-fri, 24/5 I would say £1000 net

TeamSouthfields · 14/01/2014 14:10

How many children?

Ages of children

Which area?

TeamSouthfields · 14/01/2014 14:11

I would say maybe a little lower than artandco

Maybe £200 per 24 hours

2plus1 · 14/01/2014 14:25

As a parents perspective I would expect to pay normal awake hours at £12/hour (gross here) from 0700-1900. When children are in bed aged 4and5yrs I would expect to pay a retainer ie £50 for the overnight. Now if the children were being looked after in the night due to illness then maybe extra paid but to be paid an hourly rate to sleepover seems a bit high. I do emergency oncall and get just £13 to sleep overnight and only get an hourly rate if I am wide awake working.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2014 14:35

£180/200 per 24hrs

Live-in or live-out?

ghislaine · 14/01/2014 19:52

It was a one-off, but we paid our nanny about £210 do an overnight when DS2 was born. Regular working day £90 gross (9-6) then £120 cash for 6pm-9am as I knew she'd have to put him to bed etc and get him up (normally I do all that).

drinkyourmilk · 14/01/2014 20:18

So is it a 24/5 position?

BumpBirthBaby · 14/01/2014 21:09

Sorry it was. It's now 24/3.

BumpBirthBaby · 14/01/2014 21:10

We'll live in whilst on duty. Live out rest of the week. X

£180 / £200 per 24 hours gross ( £156 gross for 12 daytime hours + overnight fee )

mrswishywashy · 15/01/2014 16:27

Is be wanting at least £200 per 24 hours. Especially if its a 24/3 position as your have to pay rent elsewhere. I'd also expect the days to be the same each week so I could pick up more part time work.

NannyGR · 15/01/2014 21:38

Hi, bump birth baby, when are you looking for the position to start? Are the 3 days consecutive? As this is something I have been thinking about doing for a while.

BumpBirthBaby · 16/01/2014 08:38

Actually the nanny. Was the maternity nurse.

BumpBirthBaby · 16/01/2014 08:38

Sorry silly iPhone. I am the nanny that was meant to say.

foreverondiet · 21/01/2014 00:03

I pay £100 net for 8-6.30pm so would expect to pay around £10-£12 an hour until they asleep and maybe a bit less overnight, so maybe £180 for 24 hours sound fair but could ask £200 (would you be only adult in the house?)

N4nny90 · 21/01/2014 18:51

As a nanny charging by the hour is a bit much. After all if babies a good sleeper the nanny gets to sleep too. I would charge a hourly rate for the time the babies awake amd then a set amount for night time eg £70 adding of course any time the nanny has to get up to baby in the night (this would be normal hourly rate)

eastmidlandsnightnanny · 22/01/2014 19:14

I too would charge £200/24hrs (recent job nr me £68/24hrs!!!!!!!)

BumpBirthBaby · 22/01/2014 19:31

Thank you for all the advice/current rates charged.

I don't ask that much because it is a long term position, but would ask for more if it were ad-hoc work.

Are you all quoting in gross or net?

mrswishywashy · 22/01/2014 20:17

My £200 is as a self employed basis and whether I do one week or six months with a family. Longer than six months and I like to be employed so I get the benefits of holiday pay etc.

No one can tell you what's the perfect amount it is up to you to decide what you accept.

I think as its only part time live I then legally the family need to pay you minimum rate. See how much that works out to if they were employing you.
