Perhaps something terrible has happened to her. Or perhaps she got a better rate elsewhere and decided to bin you.

+1.

If you can't get someone decent, you are either poor at managing the relationship or not paying enough.

Is it a worrying growing trend?

On 4th cleaner now. Nice young lady, came around to see us last week.

Today 10am. No sign of and no call. Jeez. It defies belief.

Does she have set hours as well, or is she just contracted to spend two hours cleaning?

Now you've got me worried.

[eek]

I usually find the hours are fixed by the cleaner rather than the other way around. My logic when working from home was to escape on a Wednesday between 9 and 11 and leave them to it.

one of the mummies came back and said her new cleaning job was a bust, she couldn't clean today when last time the owner looked like this, she will be looking for a new customer ;

Maybe but past experience has shown its likely to be cant be arsed/got somethign better to do.

Then you need to step up your game, my good man.

Not wanting to generalise but having had 4 cleaners now heres the things I've found out.

1) If they've got money that week, they won't turn up.
2) If they've got something better to do that week, they won't turn up.
3) They think its perfectly acceptable to cancel at 9pm the night before because tomorrow is they're birthday.
4) They really are experts at making up excuses for not turning up.
5) Turning up 30 mins late and leaving 30 mins early for a 2 hour job is OK.
6) If you ask them politely why they didnt clean this or that, they'll just quit (i.e. found out).
7) They think they're your best friend ever (one even found a pregnancy test in the bin and came straight out and asked the mrs is she was pregnant - we hadnt even told family at that point -bit intrusive that conversation!).
