Just before Xmas I posted for a cleaning job on a local fb group as I wanted someone reliable and good attention to detail as well as having good organisation skills. for 4 hours per week I was fortunate enough to find lovely two ladies so one to come on a Tuesday and the other on Friday as the one on a Tues has full time job and is just looking short term till her wedding in may and due to having lots of guest staying at mine over the period needed as much help as I could get. The lady on the Friday is a young mum with two children and she really impressed me and really has helped me out organising my cupboards and wardrobe's to perfection, I was so happy with her work and told her so,When she said in jan that she was going to get rid of a client as she wasn't happy with as they kept messing her about and give me that slot I was over the moon.but also felt a bt sorry for her clients loss as I think she is a amazing cleaner and such a lovely person. I was paying her £18 per hour for five hours on a Friday. her requested pay per hour. I was away on a course mid March and when I came home the house was lovely and clean as usual and she had taken the money I left in envelope, I sent her a whats app to thank her and to tell her how nice it was to come home to. which has tow blue ticks Any way the following Friday she didn't show up so I had sent her a WhatsApp the previous day just to check as I knew it was school holidays and as I didn't see her the previous Friday thought I would check if she would be coming , but no reply and unread so I sent another on the friday to ask again as I had needed to know if she was coming or not as I would have waited till she got here, all whats apps unread so no reply I then sent another message on the 4th asking again as I wanted to let her know I would be there if she was coming as I had to take a friends dogs to vets but again nothing. I sent a text message this morning to check if everything ok just incase something was amiss with her or her family and thats why she not been in contact ? as I mentioned above she is really a lovely person who I trusted straight away, she has read the message today but didn't reply so AIBU expecting some notice or message to say she can no longer or wants to work for me, I dont know what I done wrong to make her just blank me, understand it might have been awkward for her to say she doesn't want to work for me any longer but I would have accepted and respected her decision would have gave her a leaving cash bonus and a gift as a thank you for her help to date as I thought she was great. feeling very confused. thanks in advance for your thoughts
