North London Nannies is seeking a dedicated and gentle nanny for a supportive, part-time role in East Finchley. This position is primarily based at the mother’s home, with occasional days at a secondary family location in Totteridge, making it ideal for a candidate who is flexible and enjoys a collaborative “mother’s help” dynamic.

Job Summary

• Employer: North London Nannies (Private Family)

• Location: East Finchley (with occasional travel to Totteridge)

• Position: Part-time, 6-Month Fixed Term (Potential for extension)

• Schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

• Start Date: ASAP

• Salary: £15 net per hour (See note below on Net vs. Gross)

• Child: One infant (3 months old)

Key Responsibilities

• Infant Care: Provide attentive and nurturing care for a 3-month-old baby girl within the home.

• Outdoor Engagement: Take the baby for regular walks to local parks, ensuring she benefits from fresh air and a change of scenery.

• Mother’s Help: Work alongside the mother to provide seamless support and peace of mind during the day.

• Travel: Be willing to commute occasionally to Totteridge for shifts at the mother-in-law’s residence.

Requirements

• Experience: Proven experience caring for young infants (newborn to 6 months).

• References: Must provide excellent, verifiable UK-based professional references.

• Flexibility: Open to a role that may evolve in duration or days after the initial 6-month contract.

Understanding Your Pay: Net vs. Gross

This job offer specifies a £15 net per hour rate. In the nanny industry, “net” refers to your actual “take-home” pay—the amount that hits your bank account after taxes and National Insurance have been deducted.

• Your Take-Home: £15/hour

• Employer’s Responsibility: The family is responsible for paying your Income Tax, National Insurance, and pension contributions on top of this £15.

• Estimated Gross Equivalent: To achieve a £15 net rate in 2026, the gross salary listed on your contract will likely be approximately £18 – £20 per hour, depending on your specific tax code.

Why Gross Matters: Most UK industries discuss pay in “gross” terms. Having a gross salary on your contract makes it easier to apply for rentals, mortgages, or loans, as lenders look at your pre-tax income.

Estimated Average Salaries

For part-time roles in North London, the offered rate is highly competitive for a standard nanny position.

Next Steps:

Since this role requires an immediate start, having your DBS and First Aid certificates ready will speed up your application.
