Virginia to hire a domestic (5)
I believe the answer is:
valet
'a domestic' is the definition.
(a domestic servant)
'virginia to hire' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'to hire' becomes 'let' (I've seen this in other clues).
'va'+'let'='VALET'
(Other definitions for valet that I've seen before include "Man's manservant" , "Gentleman's gentleman" , "'No man is a hero to his . . . . .'" , "Gentleman's attendant" , "Man's servant" .)
