Live-out nanny in Madrid

What is a live-out nanny?

A live-out nanny works in your home on a fixed schedule, full-time or part-time, and returns to her own home afterwards. It is a popular choice for families wanting stable, professional care while keeping their privacy in the evenings and at night.

Our live-out nannies are trained in early childhood education, child psychology or paediatric care, and many speak English or French.

When a live-out nanny is a good fit

• Parents working a regular daytime schedule.
• Families with babies who do not yet attend nursery.
• Children needing school drop-offs and pick-ups and afternoon care.
• Families who prefer not to have someone living in their home.

Part-time nanny

If you only need help for part of the day, such as mornings with a baby or afternoons after school, a part-time live-out nanny offers the same selection, contract and follow-up as a full-time nanny. The minimum salary is proportional to working hours: around €610 gross per month for 20 hours per week in 2026.

What our service includes

• An initial conversation to understand your needs: schedules, children's ages, languages and parenting style.
• A personalised search and shortlist of candidates.
• Interviews and verification of references and experience.
• Checking the negative certificate from the Central Register of Sexual Offenders, mandatory for working with children.
• Guided family interviews with the best-matched candidates.
• Support with the contract and Social Security registration.
• Follow-up after the nanny joins your family.
• A replacement guarantee, with conditions agreed individually with each family.

How much does a live-out nanny cost in Madrid?

For full-time work, a live-out nanny's salary ranges from the statutory minimum wage (€1,221 gross per month in 14 payments in 2026) to around €1,500 net per month, depending on the schedule, the number and ages of the children, languages and experience. For part-time work, the minimum wage is proportional: for example, around €610 gross per month for 20 hours per week.

The family also pays Social Security contributions, with reductions of 20% for common contingencies and 80% for unemployment and FOGASA.

Our fees are agreed individually according to the type of search. We explain them without obligation during our first conversation.
