So be prepared to share similar information and also be prepared in case she may not want to watch two children (our nanny was happy to stay on and will be with us for another year or so.)
I would charge more just because you will be at home as this disrupts nanny's work with older kids and makes it a thousand times harder. Also, you know perfectly well that you asked the nanny to do things for the new baby long before you went back to work. Start the extra pay as soon as you get home and spell out EXPLICITLY what she will do for new baby.
