Wasn't the most pleasant idea to have someone sitting in your house whilst at work. Locked the main bedroom during the day and found out one managed to get in anyway.
    I had the opposite problem. Locked one in the main bedroom and they managed to get out anyway.....

      What makes you assume he's interested in women? For all we know AtW may be known on his local gay scene as the Rampant Russian.

        We've had a nanny for the last ten years, mostly has worked out well.

        One odd thing to know first is that pay is quoted net of tax in this market.

        We did have one applicant whose CV included that she'd won some county level beauty contests in Ireland. Mrs. Dominic was OK about this, I rejected her directly, anyone who wants me to hire her because of her looks is applying for the wrong job.
