What an au pair costs in Sandton
Full-time au pairs in South Africa typically earn R8,000 – R15,000 per month. There is no separate Sandton rate: where a role lands inside that band depends on the hours, whether it is live-in or live-out, the number and ages of your children, and how much driving you need. Part-time roles are normally paid pro-rata from the same band.
Petrol is handled separately. Where an au pair uses her own car for school runs around Morningside, Bryanston, Rivonia and Sunninghill, families usually reimburse per kilometre at the prevailing SARS rate rather than folding it into the salary.

How much does an au pair cost in Sandton?
The national range is R8,000 to R15,000 per month for full-time work, and Sandton roles more often than not sit in the upper part of it — the hours are longer and the driving heavier than average. Petrol for the school run is reimbursed separately, per kilometre at the prevailing SARS rate.
Do au pairs in Sandton need their own car?
Yes, in nearly every case. Sandton roles are built around moving children from school to activities and home again in weekday traffic, and families want an au pair whose licence and car they have actually seen.
Do Sandton au pairs work full days?
Some do. Where both parents keep corporate hours the day can start with the school drop-off and end at bath time, which is a genuinely full-time job and should be paid as one. Others are afternoon-only — be clear about which you are advertising.
