Interesting Survey: UK Nanny Rates
The UK's largest 'nanny tax' company, NannyTax and Nursery World, the largest UK publication for early childhood educators, teamed to survey the latest payroll trends for nannies in London and it's suburbs and home counties. The results, published by Adfero, were eye opening to say the least.
We see information here in the US about the escalating costs of nanny care, particularly in our more expensive cities. US families are getting bargains compared to our English cousins!
In London, a live out nanny can earn £33,179 (approximately $66K) per year, and a live in nanny £24,545 (approximately $48K). Compare that to Washington DC where a live out nanny will earn $35 - 40K per year, and a live in nanny $28 - 30K. Note that live out nannies are also referred to as come-and-go nannies and daily nannies, depending on local usages.
In the London suburbs, a live out nanny will earn £25,500 (approximately $50K) and live in nannies £19,988 (approximately $39K).
As a point of comparison, according to the William M Mercer 2006 Cost of Living Survey (most recent available) the cost of living in London is 1.44 times greater than that of Washington DC.
HomeWork Solutions Inc., the United States' leading nanny payroll company, is currently conducting nanny salary surveys in three large metropolitan areas - Washington DC, Greater New York City, and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. We plan to publish survey results in early March 2008.
