What’s included in the hourly rate

The rate on your nanny’s profile is comprehensive — you pay one hourly figure through Nannvo. No hidden agency commission on top.

You pay £99 setup once when you employ your first nanny through us (HMRC registration, enhanced DBS, contracts). You only pay this for your first nanny on Nannvo.

Pricing FAQ

Is it free to search for a nanny?
Yes. Creating an account and receiving a shortlist is free. You only pay when you hire a nanny through Nannvo.
Do nannies pay to join?
No. Nannvo is free for nannies. We charge families through the all-in hourly rate and one-off employer setup.
Why is there a +£1/hr surcharge under 9 hours?
Very low-hour contracts have similar admin to larger ones. A small hourly surcharge keeps after-school and micro-hours care sustainable for families and nannies alike.
What’s the short-term +£1/hr surcharge?
Contracts under four weeks (minimum 20 hours total) need extra setup and payroll handling. The +£1/hr covers that overhead.
