[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we were excited about staying in a villa/house in Jamaica a friend owned as a rental income, and which provided a cook.

Until we got there. Despite the allure of it we found we really did not like someone being at our "beck and call" like this. Especially when we found out the woman did not stay on property but took several buses and spent hours each way just to get to the house.

We ultimately told her to just pick up some groceries for us, then take the week off and spend it with her kids, gave her a tip and cooked our own simple meals and made our own beds.

We told our friend/owner and he was OK with it. [/quote]

And did she still get paid? Maybe she had to work two houses the next week. There’s ways to make peoples lives easier as they go about their jobs. [/quote]

Yes, of course she still got paid or we wouldn't have done it. As mentioned, the owner is a friend and we know for a fact he still paid her. [/quote]

Would it have been better if she had stayed on the property away from her family? How did you think this worked? Did you think she got picked up by a chauffeur every day from her matching villa across the street?[/quote]
