What are employers paying for a nanny - and what do they expect in return? Stephen Vahrman interprets the figures
Our annual survey shows that for the third year in a row, average earnings for both daily and live-in nannies in different parts of the UK have risen substantially, at well above the rate of inflation. Live-in nannies have seen the largest rises this year, ranging from 14 per cent in both inner and outer London to an even greater 17.5 per cent in the countryside.
Daily nannies who have enjoyed double-digit percentage increases over the past two years have seen slightly smaller increases, ranging from 8.5 per cent and 9 per cent respectively in inner and outer London and the Home Counties to a smaller 4.5 per cent and 6.5 per cent in other cities and the countryside respectively. These latter two categories of nannies enjoyed the highest wage rises in the previous year.
