Before deciding on your salary goal, you need to do some research. A Nanny’s salary can vary subject to several factors:
- Relevant Education: The higher or more specialised education you have, the higher a salary you can demand.
- Relevant Experience: Relevant experience is of great value to the families and should be reflected appropriately by the salary.
- Nanny responsibilities: Schedule, number of children to take care of and responsibilities expected within the job must also be taken into consideration.
- Location: In general, the salary for Nannies is higher in cities with a higher cost of living like Munich, Frankfurt or Hamburg. You can find the average salary for a Nanny in your area by doing some research on the internet.
Remember that the legal minimum wage must always be respected. This is set to a fixed amount once a year by the government.
