Wages/Hours
The number of hours and salary can differ depending on a number of factors.
Location
We are currently only focusing on jobs in London.
Experience/Qualification
This is proportional to salary. The more experience and/or qualifications you hold, the higher a salary you can command. However, this is not just about volume, but also about the grades you obtain, and the references you receive.
Hours
Wages are commonly compared on a weekly basis, but every vacancy is different in terms of the hours required. The table below is based on a standard working week for the positions listed.
For live out nannies, the hours can often be 8am to 6pm daily, Monday to Friday.
For live in, the hours can be slightly more, but on the flip side you may well have
time off during the day when, for instance, the children are asleep. Live in positions
often include 1 or 2 evenings of baby sitting.
Duties
Similar to hours, the level of duties/responsibilities required will have an affect on the salary.
