Many families prefer their nanny to be live-in ‘Residential Nannies’ if possible so that they know the nanny will always start on time and will not be late due to traffic. The accommodation provided is usually of a high standard and is an arrangement which also suits many Nannies due to the high cost of housing, transport and living in/around London and other parts of the UK. Also, it saves a lot of wasteful commuting time!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Many families also offer live-out positions for Nannies who prefer not to live with their family employers – ‘Daily Nannies’.

Nannies often work long hours; they start work early in the morning and continue until 6 or 7 pm, or even 8 pm, but the work is well paid and for the most part, enjoyable!

Although most nannies prefer to work full time for one family, many split their week between two families, particularly if they are live out/daily nannies.

The Nanny’s weekly pay varies greatly depending on the Nanny’s experience, skills, qualifications, local knowledge, and the particular job specifications. A nanny who has been working for a family with young children in one locality for five years will be highly sought after by other families with young children in that area; as she/he will have gained a lot of useful local knowledge and connections.

They will know where the best toddler groups or baby music groups are and also have a good network of other nannies with whom they can arrange ‘playdates’ for the children with.

A Nanny who has good local knowledge with excellent experience and qualifications can earn $1000-1200 NZD per week (or more for a live-out position). Some of our London nannies are paid up to $2,000 per week – which is a very attractive live-in nanny salary!

Nannies are professionals and the cost of their salary and the associated taxes and National Insurance contributions can make them unaffordable for many families.
