So don't apply.

OP, I have hired for a variety of job types. I am a WAHM of 4, and I work only part time and seasonally, so I am around a lot and not hiding in my office. I have a full time nanny and a part time mother's helper/housekeeper in the morning. When my husband deployed, I also hired an afternoon mother's helper. No one has quit on me yet, and the afternoon woman really wanted to stay on after my husband got back, but that wasn't possible for us.

I am very specific in my ads about hours, pay, benefits, the fact that I am home, and the duties. When I first talk to people on the phone or over email, I reiterate that I am home and involved, and for the more housekeeping-heavy positions, I ask again if that's the kind of job they're interested in. I also double-check that the hours will work for them, and that they are interested in staying long term. The more certain you can be about what you want, the easier it will be to find someone. The worst hiring experience I had was when I tried to hire someone for three days week, and said I could be flexible about days and hours. I had much better luck once I decided which days and hours I needed, and people who were interested in working those hours could contact me.
