Experiences with Housekeepers and safety?

[u/len_anonymous]

I'm not sure how to ask this but I thought the FAT crowd would have some experience so here we go.

My fiance and I want to build a very nice house in a high-income neighbourhood. The house will be 2k~3k sqft, but it's too big for me and my fiance to clean by ourselves. So I'm thinking of eventually getting a part time housekeeper.

My concern is, it's kind of too obvious to an outsider that we're doing well. Especially if they see some items in the house (ie, a random nice watch). And I'm a little concerned about our safety if on the off-chance that the housekeeper we hire turns out to be a bad person.

No, I don't think our house will turn into the set of Parasite but when you let people into your house, you're basically letting them know where everything is, etc. That seems a bit vulnerable to me.

Any experiences, and how do you mitigate this issue?
