Such is life. Employees quit all the time.
Like any employee who quits, If she is really valuable to you, offer her more money and see if she stays.
It is often more cost effective to pay a good employee more, than to search, rehire, train someone new.

We gave our nanny a $5/hr raise for adding a second kid. How much did you give, OP?

I know how parents tend to focus on how the older one will be at school, but that’s not how the nanny sees it when the nanny is still always responsible for the older child on sick days, vacations, etc.
I’d offer her a better increase, and ask her to reconsider. Maybe at least until Jan or even June. Good luck with this. It’s indeed especially important for your older child.
Op underpaid. Babies are lots of work.
