Hi - today I am really fuming . Our housekeeper who has a sweet spot for my three year old daughter came into our apartment (she has her own set of keys), picked her up (we never sanctioned this and she didn’t wash hands to add) and started kissing her a dozen times on the face. I immediately came out of the kitchen where I was making my child’s meal and took my child away. She called for my child again and did the same thing and I took my child away. This time both me and my husband spoke to the housekeeper saying how unsafe she was with doing this and we didn’t approve, and were actually angry. I am still very angry and think she’s a liability and should be fired. If she is this callous who knows what else she is doing that is wreck less in this pandemic? After all she does clean multiple households. I asked her to leave her keys today which she ‘forgot to do’ and then she texted to ask if I was upset. I was very frank with her about how upset I was and how my child’s safety surpasses anything. How could she infringe like this on my child being an adult and understanding the severity of what’s happening ? Also before leaving today (post us confronting her about what she did) she still had the nerve to ask me to leave her a good review for cleaning to her agency . It added more wood to the fire. I spoke to her agency and told them everything, from which they were in shock. I also said she doesn’t routinely wear masks while cleaning in our house which also we question and they stated it’s their protocol that all cleaners have to wear masks 100% of the time. They said she would be kept off assignments (and most likely fired) and she would provide for our keys. I feel so frustrated and upset that this happened on my watch (that I didn’t tell them how callous she was about masks from before and most of all I didn’t yell more at her and tell her to get out immediately after she kissed my daughter) but you just don’t expect someone to behave this way let alone in your own home 😕. Just wanted to know what others would do and please without judgement . We are being hard on ourselves as is. I really don’t think she deserves a second chance because she should just know better — and most of all I lost my trust in her coming into my home. I’ve also asked the agency to get her to do a covid test ASAP as the responsibility was on them for putting her risky behaviour into our home. Most likely they will fire her and I don’t feel bad or sympathy but feels she deserves this for what she did. Is that very unempathetic on my part?
What I really also don’t understand is that she realised how I took my child away from her and my husband also starting telling my child to come back - yet she called for my child a second time and did the same thing. As if to test our reaction , she’s a mother as well of two grown children and for her not to read any of these signals and repeat it is beyond clueless and a liability for her work.
