Cleaning help
My dear putzman is living far outside Zürich, and in my new flat I want cleaning help a little more often that he can provide so asked around in my circle of friends. Got recommended this company, which conveniently is located in my area of town, and where you can hire help for a little less than market price. They employ people who have difficulties finding work.
Two times my new help has been here now. The first time she left the balcony door and a window open (3 days after the burglary attempt). This time I came home early surprising her using my washing machine for her private wash. What type of people do that?
I don't mind friends using my washing machine, but everybody I know asks permission first. And besides, I only met this person twice.
Well, wrote an email to the agency asking them to ensure it doesn't happen again. I think that I next time shall be home when she cleans...

Wow, I would not want her to come another time! A:)
I know, I have mixed feelings but this morning I discovered that not everything was clean but will give her one more time, then decide.
wow, unbelievable! Havent you already given her two chances? I would have got rid of her straight away. If she's gonna use your washign machine before she's even had a chance to suss out what she might be able to get away with who knows what she might try as she gets more comfortable. No wonder she has difficulties finding work
If I cannot be home next time she cleans a neighbour has promised to check up on her.
Get rid of her. She has aready demonstrated her lack of common sense..TWICE! The stuff she's done (leaving the window/door open, trying to sneak in her own laundry..show that she is a scammer as we say..meaning she already has as a habit..the idea to see what she can get away with.
Call the agency and tell them you will give them one more try with another cleaning person. An employee like this one..makes the whole company look bad and they need to know that you are not happy with them. Who knows you may end up with a free "cleaning" or two.
She called me yesterday apologizing, saying it would never happen again but now there is a trust issue. However, I signed a contract saying I would have her clean three times before I decide. I have informed the agency and I know they will send another person if I so wish.
