Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you had the help you needed when you needed it.

not babysitters, but brain architects

Great quote. For the benefit of the general population, may I ask what the approximate rates are in order-of-magnitude terms? I assume double the quoted salaries, ie. 40-120K GBP/year = USD$50K-150K quoted salaries for the nannies, so USD$100-300K/year to include profits for the agency and incidentals. That doesn't sound off the charts, considering what people seem to routinely pay in school fees (USD$30K-50K).



You pay the agency a one off fee for the recruitment (I think it was GBP6000), and the nanny is your employee, so they keep their entire wages.

The nanny also pays a yearly membership fee to them, but I don’t think it’s very large.


I'm curious as well.
