Let me recommend a plugin or two which could help immensely:

WP Limit Login Attempts will temporarily ban access by IP and can permaban the IP if the erroneous login attemps continue.

Two Factor Authentication will give you a second security check so that even if they knew your password, they would have to pass the next security check to log into your site.

All the best!

Now I change my WordPress password every 2-4 weeks to be on the safe side.
