Hi
After looking on the internrt and not finding any information am hoping someone here can help me.
What do you think would be a fair weekly rate for this:
Nanny to live in temporarily with myself and three children anywhere between 2-4 months, both shared and sole charge. We are away from home and staying in another property for this time and considering taking someone from home with us. Which would mean she is away from family etc for the time they are with us
They would be required to do the early starts with the children somedays. Otherdays they would start at 7.30 am. During the day whilst i work i would like her to occupy the children take them out etc so plenty of sole charge although im around if needed but do have work to do.. The children do often wake in the night so if she hears them I would like her to help with attending to them as well. Other duties to include sorting baby bottles, preparing meals and helping to keep house tidy.
Thanks

Sounds like you want a nanny 7 - 7 on week days for which you should agree a weekly rate. You should let her have weekends off but as she is away from home and will therefore be around anyway, you should give her the option to do additional babysitting at an hourly rate but she should be entitled to decline.

I don't see why she should get up with your kids for they wake up in the night or wake up before 7. If that is what you expect then it should be at least £200 per day and you should forget expecting her to work at the weekend too.
