Cost of nanny share

[Acb24]

Hello,
I've looked through some of the very useful previous posts about the costs of nannies, but am wondering how much cheaper it is if you go for a nanny share with another family? Roughly how much should we expect to pay per day if we were to share a nanny with one other family? (In NW/Central London)
Thanks!

Wages are a bit hard to calculate, given they depend a lot on the nanny's experience - but nanny shares tend to pay more than working for one family. So a nanny who is paid £100 a day working for one family might expect £120 a day for a share - so £60 from each family.

If you look at jobs advertised in your area on nannyjob, gumtree and by agencies it will give you an idea of typical wages.

those figures sound like the net for a London nanny. The gross pay from various taxes will add significantly to it. (roughly 40%-50% more, all in)

My estimate us that you increase the nanny's wage by about a third and them split it between the two of you. So a nanny on £10gross could expect £13gross.

As Missus said it depends on the nanny, their experience, their qualifications etc. What kind of 'profile' are you looking for? Happy with someone going into their second job after qualifying, ex nursery looking to move to nannying, significant nannying experience?

It also depends on the hours you need - most nannies calculate their salary on an hourly basis for live out, whereas live in is by week and the hourse are more flexible when necessary (within reason and not taking the mickey). There's also a small premium for baby shares as parents usually expect significant baby experience so it kinda depends on the age of the child too.

In a share you can't have a nanny who brings own child to work as OFSTED only allow children from 2 families to be cared together at the home of one of the families.

Frak - I think you may be wrong about a nanny bringing their own child into a nanny share. I read this on another chat board and it was an email someone received from Ofsted;

"For the purpose of registration a person is exempt from registration as a childminder where the care is for a child or children of two sets of parents, wholly or mainly in the home of one of the sets of parents. This is regardless of whether the carer takes his/her own children when acting as a nanny. A person who acts as a nanny can register on the voluntary part of the childcare register as a home-childcarer. This means that you are able to act as a nanny to two families and take your own children with you without requiring registration as a childminder"

See I've had the opposite answer from OFSTED on that....

Right hand, left hand much?

Sounds about right for Ofsted
