Nursery World - Analysis: Nanny salary survey

The rising pay levels all round seen in our annual survey reflect the growing professionalism of nannies and the eagerness of parents to recognise and reward it, says Asa Nilsdotter of Nannytax.

With nannies' pay rising well above the rate of inflation across the whole of the UK for a third year in a row, our latest survey shows that nannies now have a real potential to earn a solid salary that compares favourably with other professions.

The average salary for daily nannies in central London has increased by £58, to £466 per week (after tax and NI has been deducted), giving an annual gross salary well above £30,000 for the first time. Live-in nannies in the same area are not far behind; they have seen an 8 per cent rise, bringing their average take-home pay to £355 a week. Healthy increases have also been reported for daily nannies outside the capital, where the average weekly salary has increased by 8.5 per cent on last year.
