I don't know what the more professional answer would be, but when I started my 3/4 time nanny position the mom told me they were planning on having a 3rd kid "some day." When that day came they gave me a pay increase. It wasn't as much as I was making per kid before, but it was nice to get the acknowledgment that there's more work to be done. I still make the higher amount even though the oldest child is in school the time I'm there.

Like I said I don't have a super professional nanny job and I've become friends with the people I nanny for. I'm sure a professional nanny would require notice of a new kid and probably inform the family of their pay rates if another kid was added.

Yes, it's not like doubling or anything, but there is an increase. I used to nanny and watched a 2 year old and then her little sister was born. Mom immediately offered the additional money because it is definitely more work.

Yes, there is a pay increase. I started as a nanny for a family of three, and when she had a fourth, my pay increased by 15% (I was salary). When I was hourly with a different family and added another child, my pay increased $1.20/hour.

Not sure about nannies but our babysitter (who usually just watches my LO alone) charges $1.50 more to watch two kids.

We gave ours a 20% increase and after awhile sent our older to preschool so her load lightened a little.
