Nursery World - Salaries for live-in nannies decline

Many nanny salaries across the country have fallen significantly
since 2013, according to a national survey.

The nanny benchmark survey by payroll company Nannytax shows that the average salary of live-in nannies outside London and the Home Counties fell from £22,118 a year in 2013 to £18,707 in 2014, a 15 per cent drop.

A central London live-in nanny's annual salary fell by 8.56 per cent from £24,614 to £22,507, the largest year-on-year decrease for these nannies since the survey began in 2005.

Live-in nannies in Greater London and the Home Counties also saw their salaries fall by an average of 3.49 per cent in 2014.

While nanny agencies claim to have seen reduced demand for live-in nannies since 2011, they say this is the first time that this has been reflected in salaries.
