How much should I budget to pay a nanny's salary for 2 children 3 days a week?

[2point4kids]

I'm in Ipswich.
Just been offered a job and need to work out the finances to see if I can afford childcare and travel etc.

I would need a nanny 3 days a week 7am to 7pm ish for 2 children aged 2.11 and 6 months.

Are these hours do-able? and how much on average should I look at paying a nanny?

I have had a quick look through old threads but cant see what I am looking for!

Thank you for your help!

Can I pay per hour?
What would be an acceptable hourly gross salary?

In our area you are looking at anywhere from 7.50-10.00 net. Hard to find people at hte lower end of the range. Might be different in Ipswich (we are London zone 4).

That's a long day for a nanny to be looking after two such young children. I think you should budget around £10 ph gross.

I have a friend in ipswich and think average is 6/7nett

they are very long days but should be do able - i have friends who work 12hr days

7nett would cost you 84nett a day so about 100 gross - you could try stating a daily salary rather than ahourly one to make things cheaper

you could also try and get an ofsted reg nanny and then get vouchers towards childcare - though I feel you as the employer should pay all costs (apart from nanny insurance) to get your nanny reg
