Live-in Workers?

So, I've recently started to add live-in servants and other workers to some of my richer households. I find this is a cool way to avoid single sim households, but I will also allow teens with just 2-3 years left of teenhood, to get a live-in job, in order to get away, or to build related skills. These houses don't always pay very well, but they offer a small apartment (sometimes to be shared) and the employed sim won't need to worry about everyday costs like bills and food.

This far I have a few Butlers, a Cook at the castle, Farm workers, Retirement home manager, and a few more. Each do of course require certain skills, but I don't request a set skill level, just that the applying sim has started the skill. Then if several candidates, the employer might compare skills, or they might agree that the employee will build so and so many skills while working.

Mayor restriction is that the employee can not build his/her own family while having this job, but hm... that's a nice challenge, and weird solutions may be found...

So - I wonder if others do this?

I have done it in the past Sims games - but not much in the Sims 4. I had one Butler for one of my rich Sims I played quite a long time - but that was it. In past Sims games I generally hired or built robots and had Bonehilda as a live in maid. I sometimes had a Nanny in Sims 2 until I built a robot or servo for helping with the kids.
