That's a great package, OP - exactly the kind you need to offer, as an employer, to get a great nanny in for an afternoons-only PT job.
I still think 2-3 days PTO is completely reasonable, but I would encourage you to be clear on how the hours can be used. For example, I am FT and receive 5 sick days, but that actually means I receive 50 PTO hours as my days are 10 hours each - so if I go home five hours early one day, I still have 4.5 sick days left to use. If your PT nanny were to want to split up her PTO for any reason (she had to come in late or leave early), calculating it could be challenging - perhaps offer them to her as an hourly benefit (10-15 hours?) to simplify the process?

Three weeks of vacation for a PT job is wonderfully generous, OP. Does she also get holidays? I would think 2-3 sick/PTO days would be more than adequate in this scenario.

I disagree with this PP.
OP, what happens when you turn it into a game? For instance, if he doesn't want to brush his teeth you whip our your toothbrush and see who can make the most suds while brushing. He doesn't want to pick up the toys? Whoever gets the most toys picked up in 3 minutes earns a special reward (whether that's a treat or screen time or whatever you and the parents use). And so on - does he not engage at all in this type of hype?

I agree, 4-6 weeks.
Wow. That is incredibly rude and disrespectful, OP. Good luck finding another job - I wouldn't be able to handle an MB like that for even a week!
