If you could have maid service and when you returned home and can't find anything where you put it would you call the cops first,or go after the maid thinking they took something of yours?

Neither. Just because you can't find it, it does not necessarily mean it was stolen. I'd ask the maid first where she kept everything before accusing her of theft.
Wouldn't like to leave anyone alone in my house. I couldn't imagine having maid service. I'd probably want to clean the house before the maid came so that she wouldn't think I was sloppy.
My mother had someone come in to clean every two weeks for a number of years because she was physically not able to do it herself. As far as I know she never left the house while the cleaning lady was there, even when it was a friend she trusted. She had several different people through the years and she definitely preferred the ones who didn't try to carry on a conversation. She felt they accomplished more and did a better job than the chatty ones.I have friends who clean and they say it is super awkward to have the homeowner around, unless he/she is in the home office or something like that. Otherwise they feel obligated to make conversation and it really slows them down.
They aren't your boss. If you are cleaning, you are providing a service. You are a contractor, you are your own boss (unless you work for a cleaning service of course)Well, sure, but just think about trying to clean while someone else (your "boss", no less!) Is watching you! I'm not sure I could do it, honestly. I would probably chatter nervously whether I wanted to or not. But then I'm definitely not cut out for making a living by cleaning anything, so hopefully it's a moot point :tongue2:.
