What is the salary for a French-speaking Nanny?

French-speaking Nannies are available to your family on a range of different contract types, depending on your childcare needs. This will also affect the pay rate of your French-speaking Nanny.

Little Ones is able to provide your family French-speaking Nannies as either live-in or live-out as well as part-time, depending on your requirements. If you are interested in a live-in French-speaking Nanny, you will need to consider what accommodation you are able to provide. Typically a live-in Nanny is provided with a separate bedroom and a bathroom that can be shared with the children. However, as the experience and qualifications of the Nanny increase, they are able to look for positions that have a more extensive accommodation available to them.

If you are not looking for someone full-time, our French-speaking Nannies are able to care for your children as either a part-time Nanny or an Afterschool Nanny. 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.

A live-in French-speaking Nanny can have a salary of between £400 to £600 net per week. The experience and the qualifications of the Nanny will affect the salary that they are looking for. If a French-speaking Nanny has significant experience of 5 years or more, and or they have diplomas in early childhood development and degrees that relate within the childcare industry then they will be in higher demand with families and are able to request a higher salary. A live-in Nanny has a lower pay rate than a live-out Nanny because the live-in Nanny will have their accommodation and food provided by the family.

A live-out Nanny typically has the market rate of between £10 and £12 net per hour, a French-speaking live-out Nanny can expect between £12 to £15 net per hour. Again, depending on the experience and qualifications of the Nanny will affect where they land within that bracket. The hourly rate is higher than a non-bilingual Nanny because of the demand families have these days of teaching their children a language such as French. A Nanny that is requesting £15 net per hour is heading more towards the lines of a French-speaking Governess, which is quite different from a Nanny. A Governess has significant teaching experience, nanny experience and a myriad of qualifications.

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 fewer 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.

What are the duties of a French-speaking Nanny?

While one of the main reasons a family looks for a French-speaking Nanny is for their language skills, French-speaking Nannies are also able to teach your children about French cuisine and culture. At Little Ones, we believe that a key part of ensuring that a placement between a family and their French-speaking Nanny is to ensure that the personalities align. This means that if you are looking for a Nanny that is passionate about arts and culture, we will strive to find you a Nanny that displays this and will encourage your children to participate in activities that nurture this. Alternatively, if you have children who have a deep love for sports and being active, we would specifically look for Nannies for you that would be willing to run around, kick a football, go climbing - whatever it was your children loved.

Your French-speaking Nanny can also help you with:

  • Helping to get the children ready in the morning
  • School runs
  • Organising activities for the children
  • Helping with homework
  • Practising their French
  • Arts and crafts
  • Playing sports with your children
  • Supervising playdates
  • Preparing meals and snacks
  • Taking them to extracurricular activities
  • Helping with musical instrument practices
  • Ensuring the children’s things are ready for the next day
  • Doing puzzles and activities
  • Tidying the children’s bedrooms

As your children grow, the duties of your Nanny will develop alongside them. So while you might hire a Nanny when your children are toddlers to help take them to playgroups, as they grow up your Nanny will be able to transition from arts and crafts to assist with assignments. Little Ones prides itself on bringing families and nannies together to create placements and bonds that can last a lifetime and have a profound impact on your little ones.
