This varies based on several factors, including the nanny's experience, qualifications, and the specific duties required. For instance, Norland nannies, who are highly trained and often have specialised qualifications, may expect a higher salary. It's important to consider the market rate for nannies in your area, as well as any additional benefits or perks you may offer. Ultimately, the goal is to find a salary that is fair and competitive, while also reflecting the value of the services provided by the nanny. We are always very happy to provide salary guidelines.

Yes, and we highly recommend trialling your nanny before committing to a long-term arrangement. A trial period allows both you and the nanny to assess if the fit is right for your family. It's an opportunity to see how well the nanny interacts with your child(ren), how they handle various tasks, and how they integrate into your household routine. This trial period can help ensure a successful and harmonious long-term relationship.

While payment for trial periods is not obligatory, compensating the nanny during this time encourages a positive and committed relationship. Many families choose to offer compensation as a gesture of goodwill, recognising the effort and time invested. Gaia respects your discretion when making a decision that aligns with your circumstances.

We understand that the process of finding the right nanny can be nerve-wracking, and there can be numerous reasons a placement might not work out. To alleviate some of this stress, we have included a clause in our contract that allows for a refund of up to 80%. We want to ensure that you have peace of mind throughout the process and are committed to working with you to find the best possible fit for your family.
