It can really depend on the age and experience of the nanny and where the job is and hours and duties. I would say between £350 and £450 net a week, maybe more if you have loads of experience and the hours are long with lots of travelling.

Depends on a whole host of things. Age of children, experience, qualifications, hours, duties, whether there's pp involved or travelling.

Anywhere between 250 and 500.

Very variable as frakkin and nannyj say, there are many factors to consider.
Live-In jobs are not subject to National Minimum Wage and are often quite long hours, 50-60 hours a week would not be unusual I feel.
I wouldn't have thought it would be less than £250 net per week, assuming it's 10+ hours a day, 5 days a week.

Live in 4 days . Friend has 14 yrs experience with twins.

Triplets? Oh jeez, that had to hurt.

I think it depends more on the hours and what other perks are on offer. Also, your location.

For example:
transportation paid for (even on days not working)?
Do you have a cleaner/housekeeper?
Gym membership?
Mobile phone?
Travel?
Do you live in a nice place with good transport links?

I think you have to look at the whole package. 4 day jobs are usually considered very ideal. So that is a plus.

Dooodle - I'm not sure how you having a friend with 14 years experience of twins is relevant. Feel we are not being given enough information here.
Are you the parent of the triplets?
Is your friend the potential nanny?
If you are not a parent of the triplets, have the parents not given an indication of what they are able to offer salary wise?
