Nannies usually have sole charge responsibility of your children. Their role is to provide a stimulating and age appropriate day. Having a nanny is a very flexible form of childcare. At Sunrise Nanny Agency we recognise that every family has individual requirements and strive to meet them.

Daily or live out Nannies

Daily nannies live in there own accommodation and come to your house on a daily basis. They normally have sole charge of your children. They can work from 1-7 days a week, for a few hours or all day.

They can work from 1-7 days a week. Mothers helps normally come on a daily basis although can live in if required.

Nanny share

A Nanny share is when two parents share the same nanny. The nanny can either care for both sets of children at one time or can split their week caring for the children individually in the children's own home. Nanny sharing is becoming increasing popular and at Sunrise Nanny Agency we offer all the help and support required to make sharing a nanny a viable alternative to other forms of childcare.

Nannies Wages

At Sunrise Nanny Agency we recognise that every family has different needs and believe that the nanny's wage should reflect the roles and responsibilities required and the nannies qualifications and experience.
We recommend our nannies receive £6 + an hour. The majority of nannies are currently receiving between £6 - £10 per an hour, averaging at £7 net an hour.
We provide you with comprehensive information about employing a nanny. We offer advice on Tax and National Insurance. We recommend companies who are payroll specialists to make payroll easier.

The benefit of employing an Ofsted Registered Nanny

Some families can claim back money spent on employing a nanny. In April 2007 Ofsted replaced the former Sure Start Childcare Approval Scheme. Now when employing an Ofsted Registered Nanny, there are two types of financial support available. Working tax credits and employer-supported childcare vouchers.

Employer Supported Vouchers

Employer Supported Vouchers are vouchers your employer provides you either electronically or on paper. They could enable you to save money on your own tax and NI payments, in some cases as much as £2,000 per family per year. It does not affect your nanny's salary or the amount of tax and national insurance you pay your nanny. Many employers offer this service. The vouchers are issued directly to you from your employer.

Working Tax Credits

Working Tax Credits will not be appropriate for many families, however families with joint incomes less than £59,000 a year could benefit. Families can claim up to 80% off the cost of employing a nanny. The amount varies depending on household income. We recommend calling the Tax Credit Help Line on 0845 300 900 for further advice.
