Less is more

Nanny vacancies are making a comeback even if high salaries aren't, says Asa Nilsdotter This year's nanny pay survey paints a rather different picture from last January, which showed an increase in salaries well beyond inflation in most parts of the country. Yet even though take-home salaries for live-in nannies in central London have gone down by 5 per cent, from £308 per week last year to £292 per week this year, and salaries in the rest of the country have remained more or less fixed, this may actually be a positive sign.
