  Is £500 per week net really the going rate for a London nanny?
(77 Posts) Gangle Sun 26-Sep-10 05:13:14  Have been told this
many times by nannies and agencies but, having looked through
the ads on Gumtree and Nannyjob, it seems that lots of employers
offer salaries of a lot less than this. We may be hiring a new
nanny in the near future and it would help a lot financially if
I could get her to agree to a salary of £375 net per week for a
4 day week or £475 for a 5 day week, or even less £350/£450) if
possible. Will she think I am taking the piss though? Still
works out to a salary of around 33/34k, I believe. I want to pay
her as much as I can but paying £500 a week is going to make
things tight financially. We paid our previous nanny £500 per
week but this was a nanny share in which each family paid £250
so it wasn't so much of a big deal  firesideskirt Wed 17-Jul-13
