Every year Nannytax survey the salaries of nannies across the UK. This report details the national divide between nannies in the North and nannies in the South, the desire for older, more experienced nannies across the country and the stagnation of wages for childcarers in London. I was both the driving force behind the 2013 survey and the author of this report. I was responsible for the preparation of the actual survey as well as the compiling and comparing all the data that we received.

Nannytax
publishing weekly
and hourly gross
rates for the first time this year.
This year for the first time Nannytax are publishing weekly and hourly gross rates along with weekly
net and annual gross salaries. Historically the nanny industry has talked about and agreed net wage
figures and this is why previously the survey results have also been presented as a weekly net. Many
nannies,employers and agencies,particularly in the South of England,are still agreeing a net wage (see
p. 10 for further analysis).
As Nannytax have been campaigning for nanny agencies, employers and nannies themselves to
agree gross salaries for many years we feel that our Wages Survey results should reflect this. The
gross figures should also give a clearer picture of the actual average rates across the country.
Despite other surveys indicating that childcare costs have increased by as much as 19% across the
country, our results show that the increase in nanny wages has been much smaller.
Although the recent economic growth in the UK is very much London-led, live in nannies in
London have seen their wages fall. This is particularly interesting in relation to findings from
the survey relating to other key differences in the nanny industry in London – namely that
London nannies have a much higher chance of not being originally from the UK and are more
likely to agree a net wage (see p. 12 for further analysis).

It is also interesting to note that live-out nannies have seen their wages remain much more
stable than live-in nannies. Although the increase in salary for live-in nannies has been much
greater in Outer London and the Home Counties, we can see that the drop in salary for livein nannies in Inner London has also been much greater. Demand for live-in nannies has been
historically low and remains low, and this may be the reason for the sharp drop in wages in
Inner London (see p. 15 for further analysis).

5. The Professional Nanny
How old are you?
Nannies are British and serious
about childcare
2011
21.1%
The stereotype of a nanny as a young worker traveling to the UK to take a temporary ‘stop
gap’ job has been completely refuted by this survey.
64.5% of nannies working in the UK are British according to their employers. This is a slight
drop from previous years (down from 67.1%) which has been reflected in slight increases in
other nationalities across the board. The next largest nationality group is Eastern Europe, with
just 15.1% of nanny employers saying this is where their nanny is from. Of nannies surveyed,
77.3% were British.

How long have you been
working as a nanny for?
Most importantly, nannying is not a ‘stop-gap’ job as is often suggested. There has been a
significant drop in the number of nannies who have been working as a nanny for less than
a year down from 17.9% in 2012 to just 5% in the 2013 survey. 32.1% of nannies had been
working as a nanny for between 1 and 4 years but more than a third of nannies surveyed
(36.3%) have been working as a nanny for more than 10 years.

Nannies are also typically older than the stereotype suggests. 45.4% of nannies are aged
between 21 and 30, and 35.5% of nannies are aged between 31 and 40. 13.8% of nannies are
aged between 41 and 50, and just 1.2.% of nannies are under 20.

Nannytax have been campaigning for the nanny industry to discuss wages in gross figures for
a number of years. Broadly speaking the number of wages agreed in gross has increased year

56.7% in 2013.

NET or GROSS
However, nannies themselves do not seem to be agreeing a gross wage. Only 31.9% of nannies
agreed their most recent salary in gross. This is a slight increase from 2012 when only 28.9% of
nannies agreed a gross wage. Surprisingly, 10.9% of nannies did not know either way whether they
had agreed a net wage or a gross wage.
This disagreement suggests that net wages are being discussed but gross wages are being
implemented in the employment contract. This explains a number of anecdotal difficulties
experienced by nannies and nanny employers when wages change.

London suggest a gross wage and just 17.9% of nannies employed in this area say they agreed
a gross wage. 38.6% of nanny employers in London said they had agreed a gross wage with

When looking at the responses on a more local level (in England only as there were too few
responses from Scottish, Welsh and Norther Irish nannies, employers and agencies) there is a
clear divide between the South and the rest of the country.
Western Europe
Eastern Europe
In the North the majority of respondents use a gross wage (100% of agencies, 78.3% of
nanny employers, 64% of nannies). This is also true of the Midlands, though the proportions
using a gross wage are lower (66.6% of agencies, 75% of nanny employers, 45.7% of nannies).
However, it is important to note that a greater proportion of nannies in the North and
Midlands did not know whether they had agreed a net wage or a gross wage. 16% of nannies
in the North did not know what type of wage they had agreed and 20% of nannies in the
Midland did not. This compares to only 9.7% of nanny respondents in the South.

This is not the only point of difference between the South and the rest of the country. Of the
nannies that completed the survey 22.7% (94 nannies) said they were not originally from the UK.
35.5% of nanny employers (177 employers) said that their nannies were not originally from the

employing a foreign nanny were based in London or Greater London.

Corresponding well with this, the demand for part-time nannies is high (High for all years
from 2010 to 2013) and nearly one third of nannies surveyed (30.1% in 2013) were working
part time.

Full time live-out nanny
According to nanny agency respondents the demand for full time nannies has been steadily
dropping across both live-in and live-out nannies (demand for live in nannies dropped from
Average in 2010 to Low in 2011-2013, demand for full time live-out nannies dropped from
High in 2010-2011 to Average in 2012-2013). This is consistent across the UK in the results of
the 2013 survey.

The hours worked by part time nannies in the UK are high, however, with 37.5% of nanny
agencies suggesting that the average hours for a part time nanny were between 25 and 30
hours per week. 21.1% of nannies who responded that they were in part time work were
working over 35 hours per week (the suggested starting-point for full time hours).
However, according to nanny agency responses demand for ‘nannyshares’ (where one nanny
is employed by 2 or more families and thereby splitting the cost) has generally been low and
remains low in 2013 (Low in 2011, 2012 and 2013). This is reflected in the number of nanny
respondents who are employed in a nannyshare arrangement (4.1% in 2013). This is despite
67.4% of agencies surveyed in 2012 stating that they promoted nannyshares to their clients.
Those nannies working in a nannyshare were also working long hours across all of their
employers, with 68.8% working for 40 or more hours per week. Only 54.9% of single
employer nannies stated they are working for 40 or more hours per week. It is worth noting
that a greater proportion of single employer nannies were working for 50+ hours per week
(23.6% of single employer nannies, 18.8% of nannyshare nannies).
