Don't forget that its an agencies interest to get the highest salary as there commission is normally the salary multiplied by however many weeks. We found that agencies tend to charge more or say people are paying more than they were in reality.

350 sounds very reasonable if you are covering living expenses etc.

Thanks all for your responses. We plan to increase to 350. We also pay for flight back to Philippines, her visa every year. I am also paying her son's school fees but that is separate and nothing to do with this.
As I mentioned in my last post this was not meant to cause any offence to Filipinos or non Filipinos.
Thanks x

I pay for her son's school fees in the Philipinnes which is significantly less than here. She is really wonderful and its a pleasure to do it for her.

500-550 live out and 350 - 375 live in depending on number of children and size of house - plus flight home and expenses like phone credits.
My nanny is ace and would only want to be generalized as a Filipina nanny - she and the whole community of Filipina nannies believe that they are the best and 9/10 times they are right

Is there a difference in price between a live in nanny and a live in housekeeper?

[cosmopolitanmum]

Tinasan - if you are going to be pedantic perhaps you should check you are right first? Filipina is a colloquial term. In legal documents Filipino is used for both genders.

May I ask how many hours per week she works and if she does babysitting included in this?
