To pull my cleaner up on this?

I have a TikTok account but don’t post on it, just watch other videos!

Like instagram TikTok pushes accounts linked to phone contacts to your home page.

Scrolling yesterday, I’ve been astounded to find multiple videos posted by my cleaner dancing, singing and wearing accessories (hat and sunglasses) in my bedroom on her account. She’s done this many times as she has different outfits on in each. She’s sat on my bed, dancing in my mirror and posing with my hat (left out on a hanger) and sunglasses taken from my bedside table.

She cleans once every two weeks for 2 hours and I leave her alone for one hour so she can get my office done as I WFH. I have found her so far trustworthy although she’s damaged a few things I’ve mentioned to her.

Her cleaning is good but I find her a bit strange and blunt but thought that’s a language barrier thing (she’s asked a few times how I can afford to live alone in my flat)

I want to raise it with her- but am I overreacting?

Not being funny, but you have seen film from a Tiktok account. You have nothing to link it to the OP or her cleaner definitively, unless the OP sends you separate footage of her room. If she has, my apologies.

Are you serious? Who are you to expect op to do that? Don’t be so ridiculous.

SunscreenCentral · 31/07/2022 19:36

Does she have videos from other people's homes that she works in, I wonder?

This would make me feel really uncomfortable, it's a breach of trust and your privacy and I'd want my key back asap.

Canyoudigityesyoucan · 31/07/2022 19:39

@CPL593H Happy to send @KyaClark a video of me with todays newspaper live and direct from my bedroom if you think that’s necessary!

@SunscreenCentral i don’t know what her house looks like but there are multiple videos in different places so assume she’s doing it elsewhere. Trying to find out if anyone else might be affected.

OldFan · 31/07/2022 19:40

I'm actually surprised some people don't believe the OP.

There are a lot of stupid, inappropriate people in this world and some make tiktoks.

There are ones like people dancing in hospital while their son is on a trolley next to them or something, all sorts of things.

Ideasideas · 31/07/2022 19:41

Please don't share any videos to posters to prove anything OP. You really don't need to. I think it's shameful so many posters or so eager for proof and happy to receive them from you. If they're not happy with your post they don't need to comment.

OldFan · 31/07/2022 19:42

@Canyoudigityesyoucan Sounds like it's her schtick and she might be doing something like it everywhere she works.

Some people have no idea of professionalism.

KyaClark · 31/07/2022 19:42

@Canyoudigityesyoucan

The paper is unnecessary. But if you want to write KYA on a piece of paper and photograph it on the item at the end of your bed...

... I'm kidding.

I worked for years as a housekeeper and I would advise you to fire her for theft - - you were paying for her to work cleaning, not to play at movie making.

Right - so let’s all pitch up at OP’s house, sit in her bedroom and watch said TikTok videos

pilates · 31/07/2022 19:47

She needs to go, trust has completely broken down.

Canyoudigityesyoucan · 31/07/2022 19:48

@KyaClark you have a special video to satisfy @CPL593H

@Muminncusa shes not stolen anything to my knowledge but I totally get where you’re coming from.

Theft of what..?

riotlady · 31/07/2022 19:49

That would creep me out too much, I’d let her go and tell her why

YellowPlumbob · 31/07/2022 19:50

Lol at the PPs who clearly don’t have TikTok so have no clue of the dickhead behaviour posted on there.

Firstly OP, she’s not actually cleaning for 2 hours, is she? She’s dicking around on your dime.

Secondly, she’s probably damaged those items whilst doing these videos.

Sack her. Tell her why. Let others know.

OldFan · 31/07/2022 19:51

I would sack her, it's such a breach of privacy (and also shows she's not spending as much time working as you're paying her for.)

There are plenty of cleaners who aren't cheeky and immature, and put their heart and pride into their job (I was one.)

Muminncusa · 31/07/2022 19:52

If OP was paying for 2 hours of CLEANING and the cleaner was not working, isn't that theft?

KyaClark · 31/07/2022 19:53

I can confirm.

Bedrooms match up.

Now, back to the issue at hand. Sack the bloody cleaner!

TheLassWiADelicateAir · 31/07/2022 19:53

I'd sack her immediately.

OldFan · 31/07/2022 19:54

You also say she's damaged multiple items @Trendytrousers . That shouldn't happen that often. It's happening because she doesn't care about your home or about doing her work in a conscientious way.

Canyoudigityesyoucan · 31/07/2022 19:55

I’d like to point out it’s been more than once as she’s got two different outfits on and in one she’s sat on the end of my bed posing in mirror and in another she’s propped it up and is doing some weird acting thing in my room and putting on my hat.

One video I’d probably forgive but there’s three videos I can see and some photos made onto a gallery so I think she definitely needs to go

Presanextdoor · 31/07/2022 19:55

Canyoudigityesyoucan
You do not need to send videos to prove yourself. Bizarre behaviour on this thread.

She's doing tictoks while she's supposed to be working Op, 2 hours isn't very long and she's wasting time making videos. Get your key off her and don't have her back.

CPL593H · 31/07/2022 18:51

Namechange fail OP

😅

WudYouSayItInRealLife · 31/07/2022 19:59

🤭

Itsbritneybitch22 · 31/07/2022 19:59

Sack her.

Palg68 · 31/07/2022 19:59

Can you add the cleaner as a friend? Ask her why she isn't cleaning and has your belongs on...bet she would be mortified.
