I get cleaning done only when I am at home.

Most people steal from their employers. In my firm people were taking office supplies and food from the kitchen as if they were shopping at Staples and Whole Foods. . We got a new office manager and she has a system which reduced most of the stealing.

This is why we have the nanny’s mother’s friend clean our house, even though she is slow as molasses, but she has never stolen anything during the 4 hours she is here cleaning. Close connections and trustworthy.

OP here. We did get rid of them. I just wondered how common stealing was. When I say they were great I mean they cleaned very well, much better than anyone else we’ve had. We’d like to get someone else but just worry it’s going to be the same.

Really? I am the opposite. Pre-pandemic I made sure I was never home and even now I swap rooms with them.

No.

One time I had to report a “mysterious disappearance” of some diamond studs to oir insurance and got rid of that cleaner but otherwise nothing like that.

Great cleaners don't steal stuff, full stop.

No, it does not. I would not hire them again.

They are just testing the water. If you turn a blind eye on this, bigger items will disappear.

I would fire them for this. They will start stealing more significant items.
