An Afterschool Nanny is the perfect option for you if you are you are working and need a few extra hours covered, but do not require a full-time nanny. If you are looking for someone to step in between your children finishing school or nursery and you coming home from work, then an Afterschool Nanny is the solution for you. An Afterschool Nanny is different from a part-time Nanny due to the hours they work. Afterschool Nannies typically work during the afternoon through to the early evening Monday to Friday. However, a part-time Nanny will typically work a few full days during the week, usually with younger children aged between newborn and 4 years old. While afternoon hours are the core hours worked by an Afterschool Nanny, they are also able to assist with the morning routine if you require.
Afterschool Nannies tend to be young and energetic who have other commitments during the morning, whether this is studying, internships or another part-time job which is why they are able to commit to afternoon hours. Afterschool Nannies tend to have around 2 years of professional experience.

As an Afterschool Nanny works on a part-time basis, they tend to be paid a higher hourly rate than a Nanny that would work full-time. The market rate for a full-time live out Nanny is between £10 and £12 net per hour, whereas the market rate for an Afterschool Nanny is between £13 to £15 net per hour. This is because they are working significantly less hours during the week than a full-time live out Nanny, so while it might look like you are paying more, over the duration of the week, you’re really paying a lot less.
