The salary of a Nanny in 2020 has a number of factors that will cause how much a UK nanny will earn. These factors can include the type of nanny you are looking for - a part time nanny has a vastly different salary to a live in full time nanny. Whether you require someone who is a confident driver or speaks an additional language also means that the salary will differ. Qualifications and educational background will also have an effect on the salary a nanny is able to request. But the best place to get an idea of what salary a nanny is able to request is to look at what the market rates of the different types of nanny positions.
Would you like to compare the different salaries/wages that nannies earn each year? Jooble has published a comparison of various domestic staff agencies regarding nanny salaries and wages: average of £24,192 per year. Entry-level positions start at £20,160 per year, while most experienced workers make up to £32,500 per year. Currently, there are 6,185 nanny jobs. Data comes from 2,336 real salaries. You can check salary trends and pay scale information for nanny jobs across United Kingdom on their website.
As it currently stands, the market rate for a full time live out Nanny in London is between £11 and £14 net per hour. Positions that are over 35 hours per week are considered to be full time, anything that is 35 hours and under would then be considered a part time position and a different hourly rate would apply. Typical full time positions will be between 10 and 12 hours a day.
A part time 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 a part time 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.
A live in nanny will live in with the family and will be paid a weekly rate. The current market rate of a live in nanny is between £400 and £600 net per week. Typically with a live in positions the nanny will be working for between 10 and 12 hours a day and can do additional babysitting, however, this will need to be negotiated into the nanny’s salary.
While a Nanny and a Governess seem to be quite similar, there are a few distinct aspects that define one from the other. The most distinctive difference is that a Governess will focus on the children’s educational development and their etiquette. A governess is focused on making sure children are reaching educational milestones and whilst they ensure that children are safe and cared for, their main focus will be the child’s education and etiquette. On the other hand, a Nanny will also ensure that the children are cared for, they will also help with nursery duties such as sterilising bottles, organising the children laundry and preparing meals for the children.
As with any position, the salary range of a Governess will depend on the experience, languages spoken and qualifications of the candidate as well as the requirements of the positions. A live out Governess can ask for between £13 to £17 net per hour whereas a live in Governess can ask for between £550 to £800 net per week. However, depending on the experience and qualifications of the Governess and the type of position you are looking to fill, the Governess is able to negotiate a salary that is outside of these examples. For example, if a Governess speaks a second language, especially a second language that is in high demand, the Governess is able to request a higher salary than those who are not bilingual.
It is important to remember that with all positions, as the nanny’s employer you are legally responsible to pay the nanny’s tax contributions as well as their national insurance. This is important to factor in during the hiring process as this will be paid on top of the nanny’s salary. All the salaries mentioned here are a net salary.
