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]

Ok- here is the problem with your argument. Just because the 3 types of nannies you mentioned may exist- those who work part-time, full-time, or multiple part-time jobs, does not exclude a fourth type. That would be a really lucky nanny who gets to be paid like a person with a full time job, but likes to work like a person with a part time job (other than a brief period during the summer when she gets into overdrive and puts in slightly over full time).  Not to mention, has the opportunity to find part time positions during much of the year, which gives her the opportunity to make extra money if she would like to.  There are a lot of nannies who would like that opportunity. You may not be one of them, but then your attitude and rudeness to OP already excludes you from consideration.[/quote]
