The letter writer loves their cleaning person but now thinks she is not as good as before.
When my husband passed away and I moved to a condo with my two dogs, I hired a cleaning person to clean every three weeks. In the beginning, she was amazing, so much so that I increased her pay, unasked. I paid her throughout the pandemic, even though she, of course, did not clean while we were all quarantined.I always tip generously for holidays and make sure my house is tidy before she arrives to it easier. I remove myself and my dogs to another room to stay out of her way.
There is also a language barrier that makes any discussion difficult. I am not sure what to do. Considering the lesser quality of the work, I now feel like I am overpaying her. On the other hand, I am aware she is now sharing her pay with her helper. I am also concerned about when her baby will not be content to remain in his carrier while she works. My house is certainly not toddler-proof. I am frustrated and feel as though I am being taken advantage of.
