You'd be guaranteeing her hours/wages, so she needs to guarantee you availability!
OP here. I work from home a.decent amount and am 10min to their school. I get maybe 3 calls a year. As long as the housekeeping duties are complete, I would not prevent her from trying to make extra income.
She of course would need to handle the snow days and teacher work days and sick days.
