A SUMMARY OF CHILDCARE ROLES

A Nanny/Manny Vacancy

A Nanny is employed by an individual or family primarily to create a safe and stimulating environment for their children. This can be male or female. Nannies would usually be expected to carry out duties such as taking children to/from school or nursery, preparing nutritious meals, arranging educational trips, and planning playdates. Other tasks, such as laundry and cleaning, may be required. A role can be live-in Nanny or live-out Nanny and may also accompany the family when they travel.

A Maternity Nurse Vacancy

A Maternity Nurse is a nursing professional whom is employed to look after mother and baby once the baby is born, usually for the first 6-8 weeks. Duties will mainly be establishing a sleeping and feeding routing, and feeding baby whenever required. They will also advise mother on diet, rest and the wellbeing of herself, as well as teaching the parent/s about baby’s development.

A Governess Vacancy

A Governess is employed to teach and train school age children on an educational basis. She would usually be a qualified primary or secondary school teacher and is there to concentrate on meeting the child’s educational needs, rather than their physical. Duties would commonly include teaching curriculum appropriate subjects, ensuring manners and etiquette are of a good standard, organising educationally beneficial trips, and liaising with both parents and schools to discuss the child’s development.

A Private Tutor Vacancy

A Private Tutor is employed to teach a child or a very small group of children. Their primary purpose is to ensure the child gains a good level of education and is achieving to the best of their ability at all times. This may be tutoring in specific subjects or generally across a variety of chosen subjects to attain the highest possible level. Tutors can also encourage a child’s independence and social development which can build their confidence. Tutors may be particularly useful for families that travel regularly and don’t want their children’s education affected.

A GUIDE TO NANNY SALARIES IN LONDON

Nanny salaries vary depending on the Nanny position itself. Live-in, live-out and part-time Nannies all vary in salary as well as the hours they are expected to work. With this in mind, we have created a guide to industry standards covering every type of Nanny job out there. Unlike other careers, Nanny salaries can be stated in net values. It is important to establish whether you are talking about net or gross right from the outset. It is also important to note that the rates listed below are based on Nannies who have at least two years’ full-time Nanny experience.

NANNY SALARY GUIDE (NET)

Live-out Nanny permanent (Daily Nanny) -£10-£14/hour +
Live-in Nanny permanent (5 days) - £400-£600/week +
6 days pw, live-in or 24-Hour Care - £550-£750/week +
Temporary live-out Nanny - £12-£16/hour +
Weekend live-out Nanny - £14-£18/hour +
Weekend live-in Nanny - By negotiation depending on whether 24 hour care is required After School live-out Nanny - £13-£16/hour
Maternity Nanny - £800 + per week (gross)

Full-time Nannies (Daily Nannies) normally work 5 days per week. Most daily Nannies are willing to babysit one or two nights during the week. However, this is usually paid in addition to the Nanny’s weekly net salary, and is by separate negotiation. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, especially if you offer your Nanny extra perks (ie private use of a car, shorter working week, late starts with full salary etc).

Families typically employ live-in Nannies for the sake of convenience. Due to the benefit of not having to travel to work as well as having free accommodation, a live-in Nanny is expected to work longer hours than a Daily Nanny – approximately 60 hours per week. It is also expected of a live-in Nanny to do 1-2 nights of babysitting each week. Unlike a Daily Nanny, these 1-2 nights of babysitting are not paid in addition to his/ her weekly net salary. We recommend these nights are not regularly at the weekend or on their days off, and they should be offered a bedroom that is entirely for their use.

After school Nannies and weekend Nannies are the hardest to come by. After school Nanny jobs also pay more as the Nanny is occasionally required to work afternoons during the academic year and full-time during the holidays. This varying schedule hinders the Nanny in finding supplemental employment elsewhere.

Should you have any questions, the Exclusive Household Staff dedicated Nanny Desk offers advice on appropriate salary offers for all levels of Nannies and Nanny jobs.
