How much for part time nanny?

[SparklySeal]

Let's say 30 hours a week over 5 days, all year round, outer London?

Gross salary of £20,000+
30 hours over 5 days per week may not appeal to that many, it might be before/after school so say 6 hours per day but broken up in to 2 hours than a gap and then 4 hours.
Very roughly expect gross pay amount per hour to be in the £12-£15 range.

You'll have to pay a higher than average hourly rate as the person won't be able to earn any other money.

Ok £15 an hour is gross of £23.4k p.a. Hmm that's almost as much as a full time nanny at say £11ph for 45 hour week...

We pay £12 p/h (Surrey)

In Southwest London you'd pay £14-16 Gross per hour for a 30 hour a week role especially over 5 days -
£12-15 Gross for 30 hours plus...

While most nannies have moved over to gross wages they would still look at the net amount which most nannies want a minimum of £10-12 net - nannytax calculator can give you a idea of both amounts.

Hm. It's the equivalent of £45k of top slice of a parent's gross salary for part time nanny...

Depending on the role maybe a junior nanny would be the way forward or live in.

You'd be looking more around the £9-11 gross for live in and £10-12 gross for junior nanny I believe.

It's a demanding job with usually long unsocial hours, I've been a nanny for 10 years - I currently do 7-7 four days per week meaning I miss seeing my children before school and just get home to tuck them into bed over half of the week... I'm paid at the top scale or the job just wouldn't be worth it for me.

I also spend a lot of my own personal time usually weekends keeping my training up to date, planning activities and researching local playgroups so the 'job' doesn't always necessarily finish at the end of my working day.

Depending on your income you can also get help using the tax free childcare system, you can get up to £2000 per year per child and use with a Ofsted registered nanny.

Alternatively if the cost of a nanny is too much Childminder's are a great option, I've working as both nanny and childminder.

Depending where you are the cost varies massively, in SW London you'd be looking £7-9 per hour possibly more if it's just before and after school you require. But you then don't have the extra Employers NI and it's much less than the gross salary of a nanny plus you also need to leave kitty money for a nanny.

We're looking at exactly this.

Ours charges £12.50 an hour and it will work out about £1,600 p/m or just under £20k per year.

We are looking into doing a nanny share with another family to split the cost which should make it more manageable.

Nannyshares can work really well, just keep in mind both families need to pay minimum wage based on the nanny's age.

Lots of families think they can just split the £12.50 per hour but the total per hour would usually go up around 50% of the proposed wage from one family so would be more £18 per hour for a nannyshare meaning £9 each.

Ok £15 an hour is gross of £23.4k p.a. Hmm that's almost as much as a full time nanny at say £11ph for 45 hour week
Can you get a full time nanny for £11ph? I would doubt it unless perhaps someone in their first nanny job.

Advertise the job on sites like NannyJob and ChildcareCoUk and give the salary on your advert, then see who applies.

30hrs over 5 days is 6 a day so before/after school

also means as others have said very hard to find another job around it so will be paying a slightly higher wage

as with always, age/experience of nanny makes a diff

plus a nwoc will often be cheaper as take a pay cut to bring own child
