Re: Very disappointed by some people
We have agencies like that, but instead of being listed as in home assistants, they are listed as in home spam.
Dark, like you, I try to do most of my own cleaning, but realizing that I can't see everything, I have this monthly housekeeping service to catch what I miss.
And I know what you mean about vbacuming, I don't like doing it either, I rank it up there with trimming my finger and toe nails. Some times I wish they'd just stop growing. If I worked so I was out of the house most of the day, I'd just do what a friend does. He just turns on his Roomba and leaves. A Roomba is a robot, that randomly wanters around the room, vacuuming as it goes. He says it works really well.
I didn't give keys to the previous housekeeping service I had because she was just an individual, unlicensed, uninsured, and not bonded, in business for her self doing housecleaning. But for three months she kept calling saying that she couldn't keep her appointm ent, after the third time, I told her that I would have to hire someone else to do it because it does need doing, and this time I chose a nation wide franchise that is licensed, bonded, and insured.
From my perspective, unless you arrange to have a sighted friend or family member with you, you may as well not be there while they are cleaning, you are more than likely not going to see them if they decide to get sticky fingers.
As far as assistants go, my younger brother is the only one that's really available. All my other family members have their own families, and his financial situation is such that he definitely needs the income. But now that I know his attitude towards helping me, I'd rather just quietly go somewhere else, instead of bringing it up to him. I create fewer waves that way.
