I have someone come to clean every 2 weeks. I pay $15.00 per hour with a 3 hour minimum.
Since she's been coming, she's never once been here 3 hours: In fact she is usually finished within 75 to 90 minutes but I pay her for 3 hours.
For some reason she doesn't do anything in the kitchen other than the floor. I haven't said anything because I don't usually mind washing up a few dishes if there are any in the sink.
However I've been having a lot of pain in my ankles and foot this week due to the humidity and rain, and it's been a busy week at work that involved lots of walking so it's taken it's toll! Today is my only day off and I had to go grocery shopping and by the time I got home I could hardly walk so I decided to just leave the dishes for her so I could concentrate on other things like laundry that doesn't involve much standing.
She had been here 1 hour by the time I told her that I would leave the dishes for her to do. OMG! You should have heard her!! She gave me such flack because I asked her to do something out of the ordinary! The dishes were sitting rinsed in the sink and all fit into one drain rack once washed.
I politely reminded her that I pay her for 3 hours and that she is usually only here for 1/2 that time and sometimes less than that.
I hate to hear what she says when I ask her to clean out the fridge or the oven on one of the days that she comes!
And she knows I will because we discussed that before I hired her.
