losing it!! My cleaning girl just left me in the most hectic time in my life. no notice... nothing! I bet someone offered her an additional 50 cents.
After I spent months training her in and teaching her the language!
It's unreal what chutzpa ppl have. It's all about being the highest bidder. No one bothers thinking what they do to the previous employers.

Crying or Very sad

Oy. In Monsey around Succos time there was a string of articles going back & forth in the community advertiser about this type of issue. But I wonder, the women who "lost" their cleaning lady- did they ever think of this scenario: I was new to a city & did not know the "going rate" for cleaning help. I just knew that "back home" my mother paid $X. So when I called a name I got and asked how much she charged and she said $X, I took her & paid it to her. Then this whole "scandal" broke out calling us horrible names, and I had NO IDEA I could've bargained her down for less. And I certainly had no idea I stole her from someone else. I didn't lure her away, she named her own price. No offense but she's gotta make a living somehow so if she ups her price to new customers and then decides to stick with them, you can't blame the new customers!!! Until all the articles and complaints I had no clue I was stealing someone's maid! I would never intentionally do that to someone. (Ok, if someone purposely did it to you, I guess it's not the nicest) But don't go and blame other people because your maid needs more money (or CAN earn more).

pay more next time! I pay more orginally and so I dont seem to have this problem I have my clady for 4 yrs but after a while they seem to slack off a bit.. its good to change every few yrs...

I know down here it is getting harder and harder to find reliable and reasonable ladies.... that really Clean your house... I lost mine during the summer and have not found a replacement....

I also heard that after around 6 months cleaners get comfortable with a home and know what you use and what you do not use ... so the start skimming around the edges..... so I was told to change every 6 months or at least complain to the cleaner every 6 months....
