OP here - yes, I totally acknowledge that the toddler will be home more often with sick days, snow days, etc. I appreciate the feedback!

Only a dollar an hour extra for an add’l child.....??!
This cannot be real.
No, it’s not, unless the parents are very poor and the nanny wants to give them a HUGE discount.

$3-5 for a new baby is pretty standard.

You are not underpaying ! You can go up by $2/hr and compensate for gas for pick up and drop off for toddler. Don’t let the trolls trick you into any crazy raises .

You are NOT underpaying for now!
Bump $2-3/hour with new baby, and don't count on your kid napping at preschool, so perhaps the three days a week of preschool become 9-12 or 9-1.
Also, your nanny will have increased drop off and pick up responsibilities unless you are planning to do all of that for the preschool. And, your child will catch every single cold and be home sick some, plus preschools have lots of days closed.

Raise starts when the nanny starts doing anything for the new baby. If you need help resetting the nursery two weeks before the due date, the ease starts then. If she has no contact with the baby, doesn’t do anything with pump parts and only focuses on the toddler, the raise can start when you go back to work.
You are underpaying, especially for covid. Most nannies get $1-5/hour as a raise for a new baby, depending on what the school pre-baby rate was. In your case, I’d suggest bumping to $22 or $23 now, then up to a minimum of $26 after the baby.

We have had the same nanny for almost 2 years and love her. We live in northern VA and pay $20/hr for 40hrs per week and $30/hr for 10hrs per week. Insurance, PTO, sick days, annual bonus, etc. We try to be really flexible with PTO, it usually ends up being 1.5 months off when combined. Responsibilities are primarily childcare, a load of laundry per week for toddler and prepping breakfast and lunch (food already prepared, usually just reheated), no housecleaning type responsibilities.
We are expecting our second child in 2021 and anticipate our toddler starting preschool for 3 days per week, 9-4 around the time the baby arrives.
I am interested in feedback on an appropriate raise for responsibility for new baby? New baby will be the primary charge 3 days per week, but we will still need help with our toddler for ~2 hours those 3 days and then the full hours 2 days per week. Also interested in feedback on when the raise should start, as soon as the baby arrives? After maternity leave?
Thank you!
