Why wouldn't what I suggested work?  She is being paid the equivalent of a full time job. All she would need to do is budget in order to allow for the varying amounts of the actual paychecks plus bonus. That budgeting would be a bit of pain, and so OP's original proposal was a way to keep those paychecks consistent. but because it isn't legal my suggestion would be an alternative with the same benefit. The nanny would earn a salary equivalent to a full time, year round job (which is a higher income than her actual hours plus OT would bring in alone),  and OP would know that her nanny had incentive to not leave for a full time position once things slowed down. The nanny would also have the option to pick up additional part time jobs during the slower time, though she wouldn't have to if she didn't want to, as she was earning the salary of a full time year round job.

Did you read my post? I told you why it wouldn't work. You have part time nannies, full time nannies, and nannies that need to work multiple part time jobs. OPs needs are essentially a part time nanny during the school year, but needs sick day/holiday/school break coverage, and a full time position during the summer. Most nannies would be interested in one or the other, and for whatever individual reason, not both. A part time nanny would be cool with 32 hours, because she a)has another job b)has another commitment like school or c)she has no interest in working a ton of hours. A full time nanny would be fine with 46 hours not 32. In order to secure the availability of a full time nanny you'll need to guarantee full time hours, at least 40. If you hired someone okay with working and being paid for 32 hours for the majority of the year, why the hell would she suddenly have the availability or the desire to work an extra 14 hours/week (and for the same exact pay, in OPs original plan!)? Its not attractive because of the PT/FT dichotomy and one part of the job would be very nun attractive to most candidates. That was OPs question. No its not an attractive schedule/offer, and its illegal to boot. [/quote]
