[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though it is not a given to cook breakfast 🍳 for your house cleaner(s), I think it is a lovely gesture.

Especially if you have a trusting, reliable + detailed person.

My Mom cooks breakfast for her gardener who comes 2x/month and I think that is fine.
He rides his bike to her house and during the summer months it can get really hot.[/quote]

If I were a house cleaner (or anyone showing up to do a job in someone's home where I was their at-will employee) I'd be very uncomfortable if they had prepared food for me.  I'd feel obligated to eat it even if I wasn't hungry, or had already eaten, or wasn't feeling well, or didn't care for what was offered.  It would be so awkward.  Am I eating too fast, making it seem like I don't want to sit and chat?  Am I eating too slow, making it seem like I'm lazy and don't feel like getting started on work?  Did I eat enough to be polite?  Did I eat too much and now she's going to offer me seconds?  Can I be done yet, I'm on a tight schedule and this is going to make me late for the second house I have to clean after this one.[/quote]
