Charges for Temporary and Permanent Employees

Employees should be paid according to their age, qualifications and/or experience. For Nannies employed in the West Country, we suggest that the Employee is paid in the region of £7.50 to £8.50 an hour (gross). This is on appointment and all salaries should be reviewed either on a six month or annual basis. For those Nannies entering a Nanny Share Arrangement (i.e. looking after children from more than one set of parents at any one time), it is suggested that they earn in the region of £10 - £12 (gross) an hour which is divided between both Employers. Pay is normally reduced by about £30.10 a week for live in Nannies.

There is not much difference between a Nanny's salary and a Nanny / Mother's Help wage, although Mother's Helps tend to be at the lower end of the scale. These employees are usually untrained and will assist the mother in caring for the child/ren. As they are not specialists in child care, Nanny/Mother’s Helps will often help with other domestic duties not associated with child/ren.

Childminders are self employed and set their own hourly rate, the average being £4.50 per hour. Childminders differ from Nannies in as much as they generally charge per child, per hour, whether or not the children are from the same family.

AGENCY FEES FOR PERMANENT EMPLOYEES

There is no registration fee for Alphabet Clients. A charge is payable on the acceptance of an applicant and the introduction fee must be paid within fourteen days of invoice to qualify for any refunds.

The Agency fee will be charged according to the following scale:-

calculated on the commencing annual taxable pay and will be THREE weeks of the annual gross salary.

If a Nanny is employed after school during term time and full time hours during the holidays then an average amount of hours over a year will be used as a calculation.
