Who supports her?

It depends upon the service offered.

Same here, plus toddler was in preschool 5 hours a day.

We went from $16 to $19.

My employer increased my pay by $2 when second baby was born.

With your older child going to preschool 3 times a week (presumably the nanny is doing drop-off and pick-up?) I'd increase $2/hr.

Depending on what you're currently paying that is probably in the neighborhood of a 10-15% raise. If you give raises on the anniversary of employment, and annual bonuses, then I think you're fine. Of course, to really buy loyalty, happiness, etc... then more money is always appreciated, but you know your nanny best - will she look forward to more kids or not? That's an important detail. Some nannies only want one child, some love babies more than older kids, some really hope their employers will have more kids, etc... So that plays a part also - not just money. How she feels about the changed job she will have is a conversation worth having.
