Whoa.. I misread the headline as 'Enjoying a nanny legally'.
I am disappoint.

Sheila and I have a dogsitter who comes to our house (she has a key), brings in the mail and paper, feeds the dogs, plays with them (they don't need a walk because we have a doggie door and a huge fenced play area (larger than our house!)) and we pay her $15 each visit. She makes 2 visits per day! It has worked out really well for us and the dogs adore her! Makes it much easier on everyone! If we go away for a week (5-7 days) it costs us between $150 and $210. Now that is a bargain!

I thought I had a great dog sitter too. She came 4 times a day and charged about $20 per visit. We used her for several years then we noticed odds and ends kept disappearing. Her excuse was 'oh my son broke it so I took it home...I intended to get it repaired but forgot' etc. If her kids 8 and 10 were home she brought them with her. Another excuse was 'I made myself a cup of coffee to go....I forgot to bring the mug/s back'. The final straw was spag boll splattered all over my cook top...'The kids were hungry....'

She obviously thought you'd never notice with it being in the kitchen.

It was my husband that noticed it.
