What does this economy have to do with her? Does she have any leave? Yes, you pay her.
Do you have a contract? It should spell out these things. If not, time to consider one, though it will not be useful until she returns.
based on what you said, I would weight the costs and likelihood of getting a new nanny vs paying her for her time off to help you gain some clarity.

$30-40 an hour plus mileage or provide a car.
Let’s be real tho. Which one is hotter?
You'll want to be extremely clear and explicit on what you want with "light housework."
Make sure you are allowing the nanny to have a break during the naptime, as it's probably the only break she will get all day.

For a newborn you should be paying $30. And that is full time so you should expect to pay benefits as well.
2 yrs experience is nothing, look for at least 5

$25-30hr depends on experience
What would be an appropriate hourly wage for this job description?

I'm sure you're great at your job, but wow, $40 an hour? For that I'd want you to anything I asked you to. I also am amazed that there are many people willing to pay this when you can find excellent, educated nannies for half that. Good for you though
Absolutely good for her. You sound just a TINY BIT salty.
Omg that fact you even have to ask is disgusting . She isn’t asking for a week off to go on vacation it’s for her father who has a stroke.
Yes, you should be a kind employer and pay her.
Listen, I'm a nanny, and I wouldn't ask to get paid when I'm gone. BUT if I had a family that offered to pay I'd be extra grateful and willing to help more to make up for my absence.
