No. A nanny is a childcare professional employed to look after your children, usually for set hours. An au pair is typically a young person living with a host family on a cultural-exchange basis, doing light childcare. See nanny vs au pair vs babysitter vs maternity nurse.

Generally yes. Domestic employees in Spain must be registered with the Seguridad Social, even for a few hours a week, and paid at least the legal minimum (the 2026 SMI is €1,221 a month over 14 payments for full-time work). This is general information; confirm with a gestor. See how to hire a nanny in Spain legally.
