About This Service

What is a live-in nanny?

A live-in nanny resides in your family home, typically in a private room or self-contained space. In exchange for accommodation (and sometimes meals), live-in nannies often accept a slightly lower weekly wage than live-out nannies, while providing greater flexibility and availability. They're particularly popular with families who have long or unpredictable work hours, travel frequently, or simply value having consistent in-home childcare at the heart of the household.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Have a question not listed here? Contact our team — we're happy to help.

You must provide a private bedroom for your live-in nanny — ideally with access to a bathroom. A self-contained annexe or studio is ideal but not required. Most live-in nannies also expect their basic meals to be provided or to have kitchen access. Nannvo can advise on what's standard in your area.
Live-in nanny salaries in the UK typically range from £400 to £700 per week gross, depending on experience, location, and responsibilities. Because you provide accommodation and meals, this is often lower than a comparable live-out nanny. As an employer, you're also responsible for PAYE and employer's National Insurance.
Yes — many live-in nannies include overnight supervision as part of their role, particularly for families with newborns or young children. The specific expectations should be agreed in the employment contract. Any regular overnight duties beyond a standard working week should be reflected in the salary.
A live-in nanny is a professional childcare provider with experience and often formal qualifications, employed as a member of staff. An au pair is typically a young person from abroad who provides childcare in exchange for accommodation and a cultural exchange experience. Nannvo provides professional live-in nannies, not au pairs.
