Live-in nannies
Live-in nannies
live with the family in their home, and the family will provide the
nanny with their own bedroom, and usually their own bathroom
(although they may share this with the children). Sometimes nannies
have separate accommodation such as a studio or flat.
A live-in nanny normally works for 11 to 12
hours a day, five days a week, and is often expected to offer an
additional two or three evenings’ babysitting each week – although
the exact working hours will depend on the family. There may be
positions where the nanny is expected to provide 24-hour cover,
five or six days a week. These positions are usually abroad and
salaries slightly higher.
Live-in nannies are generally paid less than
live-out nannies because they receive accommodation and food as
part of the job package, although nannies with seperate
accommodation are entitled to the minimum wage. More information
about the minimum wage is available from the Pay and Working Rights
helpline on 0800 917 2368.
