Norland Nanny Salary

[Chuggsbugs]

Hello, We have found our Mary Poppins and are now wondering what salary to offer her. What would a daily Norland nanny (London) with approx. 3 years experience expect to earn? She will have sole charge of one baby and one 5 year old (who is in school) and is an exceptional candidate.

The nanny is very keen to proceed and we want to make her a fair and attractive offer? We will include gym membership and an annual discretionary bonus.

If anybody has some tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

Many of the comments here show total ignorance, comparing what a Norland Nanny would expect to get paid with a student debt of £90,000 and just finished the Oxbridge of nannies, compared to the average nanny. It's like comparing a Cambridge grad with a double first in maths going into the City, compared to someone with GCSEs trying to do the same.

I’m an NNEB Dip. Norland Nannies did the same course and exam that we did. Two years full time. Placements at Mother and baby, nurseries, schools, social services, hospital children’s ward and a trip to London to Guys, Great Ormand Street and St.Thomas’s as well as multi - cultural nurses.
Just to let parents know that NNEB are just as good. We don’t wear a uniform but some Norlanders don’t either.

I'm curious what you paid or offered in the end?
Considering in Ireland without a degree I earn over £40,000 sterling a year anyone higher ING form norland need to consider that London is an expensive city with higher salaries and she has a 4yr degree and potential to be highered by some famous clients I would have suggested a minimum of £44,000-£50,000 a year with a pay rise of 5% per annum since she could potentially be working for famous people and she could leave after a few years and demend a higher salary as each year allows for this with norland nannies.

I did not attend norland or any nanny school but did one basic year of training as a Montessori school and by the time I had 2yrs experience as a teacher and 2 as a nanny I was earning £44,000 stirling in Ireland for one baby 50hrs a week. £15.50 for any extra hours with either an early finish to home and rest before returning or a late start the next day if babysitting on a week day past 10pm and £300 a day or €350 a day if the parents went away for a weekend. I am earning £40,000 in my current position with all lunch foods provided seperate (they include me in the weekly shop and buy lunch once or twice a week) for one toddler and was offered similar by 2 other families so it was not a unique situation. My previous salary was only £18,000 as a teacher with no chance for a pay rise even if I had 10yrs experience which shows how greedy montessori schools are... This is compared to £32,000 for my first nanny job.

As a nanny my duties for the family who paid £44,000 stirling included all introducing food for the first time and then cooking all meals for the baby from scratch no frozen or processed or unhealthy foods, supermarket shopping, buying essentials such as messy play clothes, toilet training seat or wet gear etc. with the baby during my working hours paied via an extra allowance outside of my salary, organising signing up and keeping on track of classes, buying tickets for live children's classical music events at the concert hall, once off drama or art evens for toddlers and other baby/toddler play groups, and generally helping to organise the gardeners/cleaning lady and anyone else such as handy men etc. These are standard duties that a norland nanny would be expected to do. Hence the better salary they would expect and will be able to find. I am surprised the agency did not tell you her expected salary before the interview as I have recently gone through an agency for the first time (previously through word of mouth or a free online site nannies post resumes) and before nay family interviewed with me they told my expectated minimum salary and the families had the choice to go ahead with meeting me or declining of they could not afford the salary.

My best friend is a Norlander. She has been qualified for 30 years. She deliberately wont take jobs specifically aimed at Norlanders with the associated very high salaries as they are more often than not, in her experience for families with extreme demands requiring loads of extra travel and almost another parent rather than a nanny. She is a really experienced and fab nanny in South East London and earns £14-£15 per hour which is a pretty standard nanny wage for the area and not remotely a reflection of her qualification. She would happily settle for a normal salary rather than one of these film star levels you see in the Norland website which she she could easily demand, as she doesnt want to live the tricky filmstar/VIP family life that so many if the jobs require. Many mean nannies cant really have a life of their own hence the very high salaries on offer.
My friend has a job she loves and a life too. There are lots of great qualified nannies who also expect a salary based on this principle. Agood norlander foesnt have to cost more than any other great nanny.
