Competitive salary with timely payment.

Official employment (where applicable) or a written contract.

What is the salary of a nanny?

The salary of a nanny or governess depends on several factors. The basic rate is influenced by the volume of duties, schedule, working conditions and level of responsibility. If you work in a live‑in position with accommodation and meals provided by the family, the base salary may be slightly lower, while live‑out roles usually offer higher payment. The age of the child also plays an important role: work with newborns and very young babies is considered the most demanding and therefore usually the best paid. Families are ready to offer higher salaries to nannies who can provide round‑the‑clock care, establish a routine, support breastfeeding or bottle‑feeding, and monitor the baby’s development from the very first months.

Your qualifications directly affect your income. Candidates with specialized childcare or pedagogical education, additional training in newborn care, first aid and safety can expect higher rates. Knowledge of foreign languages, ability to apply early development and educational programs (Montessori, STEM, creative and language activities) and experience working in private families significantly increase the value of a nanny or governess in the eyes of employers. The salary is also influenced by the number of children in the family, the need to travel with the family, flexibility of schedule and readiness to take on extra duties such as light housekeeping or organizing children’s activities.

Requirements and Preferences for Nannies

If you plan to work abroad, it is important to consider the visa requirements of the country where the employer is located. For example, to work in the United States, a candidate must have at least a valid U.S. tourist visa — this allows entry into the country for a personal meeting with the employing family. After a successful meeting, the employer takes responsibility for arranging a work visa for the candidate.

Similar requirements apply in other countries: having an entry visa or visa-free travel eligibility is usually necessary in order to meet the employer in person before official employment begins. Our specialists will help you understand the visa requirements for the country you are interested in.

Age and health that allow you to actively care for children, walk, play, lift a child and cope with a full day of duties.
Proven experience working as a nanny or governess in private families, and readiness to complete additional childcare or professional training if required
References from previous childcare employers, either written or available for a phone check.
Clean criminal record and no issues incompatible with working with children, with willingness to undergo background and document checks.
Up‑to‑date medical certificates and vaccinations confirming good health and absence of infectious diseases, especially important when working with babies.
Basic educational and developmental skills: ability to play, read, and work with early learning programs, support school preparation and homework.
Accuracy and good habits in keeping the children’s room tidy, caring for children’s clothes, toys and learning materials.
