[quote=Anonymous]In 30 years, I have had 2 cleaning people.  The first was with me for 7 years, through a marriage and move from a condo into a house.  Then she started not doing such a great job, so it was easy when we did a full reno/gut job to let her go right before.  The other woman has now been with us for over 20 years, and she's still amazing.   We pick up (a lot less now that there's no kids living at home), and she takes care of the rest.  If it's been a particularly easy time for her and she finishes quickly (kids havent been home to visit, for whatever reason the house is in good shape, etc.) she will do extras like clean the refrigerator (I think that also depends on how full it is).

If we go away and skip a week, we pay her anyway.  At Christmas, we pay her a bit more than double (think rounding up), and when we both realized skipping during snowcrete was a good idea, when she next came, I paid her double for having to miss that week. She is like an employee that does good work, so I take care of her appropriately.

She does not eat with us, nor do I make her food. She is here 3ish hours every other week.  [/quote]
