LOL. No, That was more than 40 years ago and we used the old fashioned
method, a want ad in the newspaper. My wife looked after it all. You
might think it would be an easy enough process to hire some domestic help.
There was another one who was in contention but she didn't get the job
because she could not commit because she was into horse back riding. i
never met that one at the time but I did meet her years later. She
somehow connected me to the day care job and said that he had been
fired. She must have misremembered that because she had never been fired.
After that we lucked out and got a really good sitter. She had just
moved here from the Netherlands and she committed to the end of the
school year, and she stuck to her commitment.
The best and longest lasting sitter we had was a woman who turned out to
be great. My wife had originally rejected her because she sensed that
the woman was a heavy drinker. She was totally wrong on that. She was a
great sitter and worked for us for several years.
