Is a Nanny or Family Assistant very expensive or is the bottom line not so bad compared to other forms of child care and family support? We explain the fair picture to you using examples.
What does a Nanny cost?
From 2700 euros per month you have a full-time Nanny at home. For this you get full flexibility and dedication to your family. The Nanny not only takes over the care and education of the children during your absence, but also runs errands and performs household chores. You agree together what time the Nanny will be with you each day and when she will leave. Also in the evening the Nanny can regularly babysit if you have a dinner together for example. If you calculate how much you would spend with two children fulltime at day care and one child at BSO and add the costs for domestic help and occasional babysitting, you will be cheaper with a Nanny.
What does a Family Assistant cost?
Starting at 3500 euros per month, you have a full-time Family Assistant at home. A Family Assistant relieves the family completely and can also do PA work in the company of one of the parents. A Family Assistant, in addition to taking care of the caregiver, also takes on organizational and management tasks. Think of managing the family calendar, appointments, organizing trips, buying the children's clothes, arranging vacations and light administrative work. A Family Assistant always provides customized services. We arrange everything necessary for you and your family to function optimally.
Will I receive child care benefits if I hire a Nanny or Family Assistant?
Yes, if the Nanny is registered with a specialized agency (such as TFA) you are entitled to childcare allowance. Another condition is that both parents work. The amount of the childcare allowance is based on the joint income of the parents. The Family Assistant helps you draw up the contracts and can think along about what is best for your financial situation.
Can I hire a Family Assistant at my company?
Yes, you can. In this comprehensive blog post, we'll tell you all about hiring a Family Assistant on the job. This can be very advantageous in some cases. A Family Assistant then not only performs light administrative tasks for the family, but also for your business. Sometimes this eliminates the need for a PA in your company, which in turn saves costs.
