        Site webSite = serverManager.Sites.Add("MywebSite", @"C:\MywebSite", 80);            
        webSite.Applications.Add("Child1","C:\MyChildApplication");
        webSite.ServerAutoStart = true;
        serverManager.CommitChanges();

All applications need to have their paths starting with / (a convention with little explanation, so simply follow it).

Thus, in your case, you should use /Child1.
