I’m so cross. I had employed a cleaning
conpany to provide two separate hours of cleaning to my elderly mother every week. My stipulation was it had to be at same time and days every week as she would get confused. All was well and going great we had the same lady both days and we were happy. (Lasted 8 months)
The person running the company got ill and closed the company and the cleaner said she was going to keep her clients and work on her own. My mum liked her. She did a good job and was reliable so we said ok and agreed she would continue. I made it clear we needed the same times and days for the reasons I mentioned. I said mum liked her company and if she was finished after 45 mins would she sit and chat for 15 mins. She agreed and so I said I’d pay her £25 per hour instead of £22 she was asking.
we are now only 3 months into this arrangement. For the last month there hasn’t been a week were she isn’t tryimg to change the days or the times. Last week when I was away she brought a friend to help and they only stayed 30 mins. She often leaves after 50 mins. We have cameras so I can see what. I spoke to her about it and she is talking like I’m being unreasonable and she’s only tryimg
to run a business. Telling
me she can’t be in two places at once.
I’d cancel her but cleaners are not easy to come by where we live.
