This.

No, not here in the DC area, unless you're irresponsible or really poor.

No one in their right mind takes on the enormous responsibility of an infant for $1-2/hr., unless they don't understand what's required. An increase of $4-6/hr. is appropriate.

What kind of parent would give such a measly raise of $1.00 for the addition of an extra child!!
And a baby no less!!

This is the most perfect method to insult a Nanny.

We have our nanny $3. She was making $18, she is now making $21 for two children.

This - $1 increase for the responsibility of another baby!? Please people, consider just for a moment all the attention and care that your first kid required and tell me that you think $1 increase is fair! SMH

The easy answer is the rate the nanny requests in order to stay with your family. PP said it best - the difference in the rate for one child versus two children. And it isn't $1! $2-3/hour, maybe.

Hahahahaha!

In real life, $1-$2/hr, depending on how well you're paying her now.
Pay her what you would hire a new nanny for two children, plus any raises she's already earned.

So, if a nanny for one kid starts at $16-$18, and two kids starts at $18-$20, there's no way it makes sense to pay her another $8-$10/hr.

What's the going rate for a pay increase for a second child? Kids will be 2 years apart, if that matters.
