To ask how many times your cleaner cancels in a year?

Cleaner comes once a week for 3 hours, she cancelled today again, it’s the 4th time in 4/5 months. Reasons have been car broken down, child ill, cleaner ill.

We don’t seem to get more than about 3 consecutive weekly cleans without her cancelling.

I’ve never had a cleaner before so not sure if she’s just unreliable or if they’re all like it!

Zero, but she’s bought her child with earache once or twice.

You don't pay her when she fails to show, do you? Does she do a good job?
