Nanny Costs: A Comprehensive Guide

When deciding to hire a nanny, afterschool nanny, housekeeper, or au pair, parents often have numerous questions about the process. This guide aims to address some of the most common questions.

 How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Nanny?
The cost of hiring a nanny varies based on whether you need a temporary or permanent arrangement. For a temporary nanny, afterschool nanny charges a commission of £30 per day. Additionally, families need to pay the nanny directly at an hourly rate of around £15 gross, with a minimum requirement of 5 hours per day.

Where Can I Find a Nanny?
Finding and hiring a nanny can be challenging for parents who want the best care for their children. Working with an agency can streamline the process and provide access to highly qualified candidates. Afterschool nanny ensures that all recommended candidates have at least two prior work references, a DBS check, and a First-Aid Certificate, with a minimum of two years of experience.

What is the Fee for the Agency’s Nanny-Finding Services?
For those seeking a permanent nanny, nanny-housekeeper, or housekeeper, the registration fee is £69 (£93 for au pair registrations). After registration, suitable candidates’ profiles are provided, and interviews are arranged. Once a candidate is selected, a commission fee equivalent to 18% – 20% of the candidate’s net salary is charged. For example, if a nanny’s weekly salary is £450, the agency fee would be calculated as follows:
– £450 x 52 weeks = £23,400
– £23,400 x 18% = £4,212 (+ VAT)
