To look after 2 kids - how much do you reckon I would need to pay?

I did school pick-up and looking after two kids in their home for £8 an hour, no idea whether that's good or not though. I am a CM now and charge £4 an hour as that's the going rate around here, give or take.

I've looked at some advertised rates and it seems to be £8-10 net (in London). So about the same as full time nanny. I would have thought it might be higher. Or maybe it is high, relative to the experience/qualification you would expect from the candidate (assuming you wouldn't attract a fully qualified experienced nanny).

In London £10 hour NET.
You'll need to run a PAYE scheme for tax and insurance - unless they are working lots of temp/part time jobs and so have managed to be self employed. Then I guess they'd want quite a bit more as a gross figure.
Presumably less outside of London.

Hi,
I have an after-school nanny and have to pay top whack as it is such short hours. And I have only been able to get a nanny with children so OK but not ideal.

HTH.

Oh yes, I should've said that I take my DD along with me, she was just coming up to 12m when I started.
