[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much ladies!  Excellent ideas on where to find someone.  That is a great point about keeping our cleaning lady on for the deep cleaning.  Will give serious thought to that.  When DD was in the hospital this year, having that cleaning  lady was a lifesaver for sure and probably worth it to keep her to make like easier for everyone.

Another question for those that have been live ins or MB of liveins - guests???  We are not going to permit overnight guests, but are wondering what others have done about daytime guests?  From talking to MBs of APs, it seems like the AP rarely if ever bring a friend to the house.  [/quote]

We have a live-in, who lives in the lower-level apartment.  We've never said more than "don't bring the party home/this is not a revolving door" and "we reserve the right to kick out anyone."  We have had two live-ins. One has had her visiting (from another state) mom sleep over for a week, and the other has had a little sister and a friend sleep over. We would say something if they were bringing home a different guy/girl each night.

OP, on one hand you're saying you want this person to have their own life, yet on the other hand, you're saying, "but don't have the kind of life that ever involves guests sleeping over" and it seems like  you stopped just short of saying "or the kind of life that ever involves guests coming over unless they're pre-approved by us." Either you trust this person or you don't. Of COURSE she can have daytime guests, except "daytime" will mean "night time" because won't she be working for YOU in the daytime so her only free time will be from dinner until she goes to bed?  You really just can't have it both ways. Get realistic and fair, here. [/quote]
