[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, ignoring the negativity. If I eliminate pet care and maybe change it to just "occasionally feeding cat & changing water" (eliminate changing litter) does that make it at all more attractive?[/quote]

No it doesn't OP. you can ignore negativity, but don't ignore reality. You are asking for a lot of things outside of the scope of most nanny jobs (some nannies do some of those things, it'd be near impossible to find someone who does them all), not allowing enough time to do it all, and your pay is not attractive for the scope of duties you are asking someone to take on. $15-$17/hour would cover the basic childcare aspects. $18 would cover that and a couple extra things (family laundry, etc). If you want one person to do all of those things, you need to make the job full time, guarantee the hours, and you're looking at $20/hour likely. Or, and here's a novel idea, you could teach your sons to do something for themselves and you could pay a college kid $15/hour from 3-7 to supervise and drive your TEEN boys around, and you/DH could do some things for yourself too!
