To pull my cleaner up on this?

[Trendytrousers]

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?

I'd be livid as I am a very private person and would hate for my home to be posted online

My SIL went home unexpectedly and found her cleaner using her makeup and hair styling equipment!

If this is real, she needs to be booted immediately. TikTok has a dicey reputation for security anyway, apart from the fact that she is clearly dicking around during work hours. I would be furious about my house interior featuring on a TikTok video.

I'm also surprised people are doubting the OP. The amount of stupid TikTok behavior (especially people using their work spaces in inappropriate ways) is unbelievable. There is something about TikTok that makes adults revert to extremely childish behavior.

Totally agree.

You are paying her to clean not post on social media. She is also using your items, it’s all very unprofessional. I would let her go and find someone more reliable.

Definitely change the locks - she could well copy them before she gives them back to you

'Pull your cleaner up on this'.

I think you need to sack your cleaner.

Terrible breach of trust I would let her go

I’d let her go. Wtf.

So annoying when the OP doesn't return after first post!

She did. Under a different name

@blueskyeve she did but she name changed.

She's now @Canyoudigityesyoucan

Just here to see what the cleaner replies

No reply from cleaner but my key was put through my letterbox this morning.

I’ve been blocked on WhatsApp now and will obviously now have to change my locks just in case there’s anything untoward…..

I can't find the post where you said what you texted her OP. What did you say?
Glad you have your key back though!

I think I used inspo from someone up thread!

I explained I’d no longer be needing her and can I have my key back. I’d seen videos of my home on her public TikTok account and was really unhappy she’d invaded my privacy like this. I asked her o remove them immediately and return my key within 24 hours.

The videos are still up but I have my key back…,,

She's such a prick.

Well done OP but God I'd be livid that the videos are still up. Can the police do anything or is that a totally unrealistic question?

Get rid of the cleaner.

I worked for someone who had a cleaner and they had to sack their cleaner when they found proof (caught red handed once) of cleaner stealing perfume, money etc. Cleaner was through an agency.

@Tougherpolicies well she’s about 24 hours from me posting on a local forum with her photo and asking anyone else who might use her to have a look at her TikTok account…

There’s one particularly cheeky video of her lying flat out on someone’s sofa with her feet up chilling……presumably whilst working.

anyway she hasn’t blocked me on iMessage so followed up and said thanks for key, locks were being changed and I reiterated request to remove videos

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a domestic cleaner. Have been for the last 4 yrs... no, we don't all do it. I can promise you (and anyone else here) this is NOT normal in the industry. I cannot imagine how anyone would think this was acceptable. A cleaner is a tradesperson hired to provide cleaning services ONLY. Not to rifle through people's personal possessions, try them on for size, parade about in them and then claim all cleaners do it.

Jesus Christ, I'd have torn her new one. It's arseholes like this that continue to give the profession a bad name.

I know plenty of other cleaners and I can guarantee they'd all be open-mouthed at some of these stories.

I think what a few people are getting at, is that it's very easy for a cleaner (or any other worker in a home, e.g. gardener etc) to not work as well, thoroughly, or leave early.

That's fine when people are in agreement with this but not when they're not.

I used to sort of manage a small solicitors office, cleaners came after work. One night I realised I'd left my mobile at work, I'd gone to the pub for a drink after work near my office, so I went back, found cleaners were leaving and I knew they arrived not long after I left work as that's what was arranged. They'd been there less than 30 minutes. They were trying to cut corners and what wasn't great was the woman's boyfriend was there but not her, we had no idea who the boyfriend was. This was through an agency. In fact, recently we'd had another cleaning company come round and point out areas e.g. in toilet where our cleaners hadn't cleaned but you wouldn't think to look. We got rid of them and the agency and paid more for better cleaners.

There’s one particularly cheeky video of her lying flat out on someone’s sofa with her feet up chilling……presumably whilst working

Can you put a still of it on the local WhatsApp group you said about and ask if this is anyone's house? That is disgraceful!

Is your aim to try and get her sacked from all of her jobs so she has no work ?
