Hello all,

Husband and I have a wedding to attend this summer and are thinking about leaving the kids with our nanny. Wondering how much to pay for the extra hours/nights? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm a nanny and I've done that before and normally got 600 pounds for a whole week or 250 for the weekend.
Obviously you'd have to pay for all travelcosts and room/food etc...
You probably already know this, but you'd be surprised what I've seen! (a friend of mine made a loss on a workweekend!)

I'm a nanny too & think £250 for the whole weekend would seem very fair.

Hi, I'm afraid I charge around £400 for a weekend.... But it all depends on how much you pay your nanny during the week. You have to take into consideration that they will be missing out on their free time and no break from their everyday jobs! It will be money well spent if you can enjoy and relax on your weekend knowing your children are safe and happy with someone they know!
