A nanny is an employee so she is paid to do the job, not charging per child like a self employed childminder. I would look at how her responsibilities will change and decide if a pay rise is appropriate to look after 3 children including a baby. I would consider what is the market rate for the job rather than automatically increasing her pay substantially for a new baby.
Regarding splitting the cost between families, I've not done a nanny share but I would say splitting proportionately by number of children is a good starting point (so 1/3 to 2/3 split) for discussion.
