Depends where you are and the nanny's exsperience and qualifications. Check job ads in your area to get an idea of the local going rate.

we r in edgware, north west london.

Try looking on gumtree or nannyjob.

Pay Survey Feb 2011 Looking at that I'd say probably around £22-£24k

I feel it's an employers market though... so probably best that you decide what you feel you can pay someone, then advertise the job (offering it first to your existing employee).

Also, pay should probably be based on number of hours, regardless of the number of children. How many associated chores (i.e. cooking or nursey duties) is realistic can be based on the number of children.
