I just let our cleaning lady go. She was very nice, but very irresponsible. She once needed to leave early, so (without checking with me first) she asked her niece to come over and help her clean. I learned about this arrangement by walking into my bedroom and finding her and a “stranger” standing in my room together! Other times she didn’t show and simply didn’t call, claiming “doctor’s appointment” the next time she’d arrive. What ever happened to phones??
Another one was hired through an agency. She came in and immediately said in an authoritarian voice: “the agency charges such and such, but EVERYONE pays me this much!” I never asked to have her back again.
Or how about the one who works for several months, then just stops showing up, then calls a year or two later, out of the blue, asking if you need cleaning help!?!
