I advertised for the job explaining duties that include cleaning, laundry, and watching my kids. Driving required.

Several people applied, we picked our favorite, she has been with my family for about 10 years.

She used to focus on nannying and playing with my kids, now she simply drives them around as they are older, she has always cleaned and sometimes cooks and does laundry.

I know it's not that common but it works for us and her and allowed us to keep her and her to keep her job for many years.

She is legal to work in the US, we pay her taxes, and we found her on DCUM.

If she was unhappy, she could have always and could still look for another job - but I think she is happy.
