Nanny shares

In the current economic climate more families have to cut costs, and many mothers find themselves returning to work earlier than planned after having a baby. This coupled with an overall increase in part-time employment means that nanny shares are becoming a popular childcare choice. Read more on the recent boom in nannysharing.

Nanny shares are cost-effective, and so you get the flexibility and professionalism without the high costs normally associated with employing a nanny. But nanny shares are particularly complex from a tax and NI perspective and with net-wage agreements still the norm, it is easy to make mistakes.

Nannytax specialise in nanny shares, and together with our nannyshare team we have developed this section of our website to help you navigate through this potential minefield.
