I’d give her at the very least a month. And of course a bonus. We gave our nanny of a year and half a week and a half’s pay as a bonus.
After all these years I'd organize something with her and her family : either a lunch or cake at your place, give her flowers, a note/picture from the kids and a bonus.
Imagine working for a family. Raising their kids, loving the kids like they are your own for years. Just for the family to go to online forum to ask how much they should appreciate you now that they no longer need you. Jfc y'all are something else.
What they’re doing is legal and 10% is generous.
What were your hours when you started and what are they now? Them
Dropping hours doesn’t seem fair but you are also welcome to look for something with more hours.

I would give her a month notice at least if she’s been with you for years.
And yes a bonus would be nice, not required but nice.

It is time to separate from our wonderful, long-term nanny. She started working with us many years ago full-time. Now she splits her time with us and another job. With our oldest in college, our second going to college, and our youngest old enough to not need a nanny, it's really time to say goodbye. We have been talking about this one and off with her for the last year, stating that the time would be soon. We have kept her longer than we needed her help, largely as we were concerned that it would be hard for her to find a job as flexible as the hours that we provided. But, our needs now are different (and I'd like to put the money toward college expenses). Do we give a "good bye" bonus? How much notice? Thoughts?
What is your hourly pay rate
People are cheap!

Former AP here (not Brazilian).
Host families should realize that 0% of us come to the US for the children.
That doesn't mean we don't like babysitting but we come for other reasons.
Working on our English, seeing a new country, living a new experience etc.
Yes, some come to get a husband as well.
I'd leave for more hours.
Put yourself first.

I would absolutely pay for this and likely buy her plane ticket as well with my miles as a gesture of good will.
Doesn't she have PTO to use?
Yes, that's fair and standard. Nannies are hourly employees per the FLSA and can't be salaried. So giving you a raise on your hourly rate is expected. I'm assuming they did it in hopes of offsetting the reduction of hours. If the lessening of hours means that overall annualized pay no longer is feasible for you, time to start looking for a supplemental PT job or new FT one. Best of luck!
Is he teething?
What does the contract say? I don't see how you have an obligation to pay unless it's in the contract. I never had an expectation of getting paid when I didn't work.
