How much should a nanny take home after tax if she has 1 child with her and 2 at school, hours 8am-6pm??? over 15 years exp, CRB check, First Aid Cert and 'Approved'.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Depends on location - city/country/north/south and whether live in or live out.
I'm pretty sure that there is a list of 'average' wages on www.nannyjob.co.uk

How old are your school age children? Would they be coming to your job after school/holidays?

I went to an agency looking for nanny work with my ds and was told £5ph nett.....hence the reason for changing to childminding!!

I know a nanny with own child who earns £8 an hour. I don't know anyone who nannies with more than one child of their own so I'd suggest contacting a couple of agencies.

our nanny gets £7.50 net. outer London. unqualified but has First Aid certificate. started with us 18 months ago with about 2 years au pair experience. looks after 2 dds

take what agencies say with a pinch of salt btw.

I was assuming that the 3 children are charges, rather than Fabnannies own children.

Hmmm, just re-read and realised, thanks!!!! It's been a very long day!!!

I just saw the username and assumed......

my friends just started a nanny share job in chiswick - £80 a day and £90 a day on shared days. she will look after 2 15 month old boys. they pay her tax and she gets that amount. i thought nannys got more than childminders. but i know less than nothing about it. lol

I work in the south, 2 children (school age) and take home just over £1000 per month after tax . I've been with the family for over 8 years!

I don't really feel the number of children makes a great deal of difference. Location and number of days worked can make some difference, especially if working 6 or 7 days per week.

£7 to £8 per hour after tax/ni deductions I would consider is reasonable. Below £7 would be a bit low, for live-out. BUT a 10 hour day is quite short for a nanny, and if the job was very local to you, you might want to accept less for the convenience.

Ultimately it depends on what you as a nanny can survive on, and what the parents can afford.

I'm live in and in London and take home £320 week. I think it all depends on hours and location. I know 2 live out nannies in London and they both earn over £500 a week.

Agree with others, the market depends largely on location, your flexibility (for example an 8:00 start is quite late for a lot of people -- my nanny begins her work day at 6:30). And, of course, live-in nannies make considerably less because your employer os paying for all of your living expenses, including a mobile phone in some cases.

I'd say anywhere from £200 - £4000 in Greater but not central London for a live in.
