Cleaning Up

The plaintiff hired the defendant to find her a housekeeper, but she claims the woman failed to find her a person she liked, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund. The defendant insists she found the plaintiff a housekeeper she initially approved of. However, after two months, the defendant says the plaintiff wanted someone new. Per their contract, the defendant agreed to find another housekeeper, but she says the plaintiff decided to file this frivolous lawsuit instead.

She wants a servant not a housekeeper!

[@trekgirl65]

Not a servant, a slave and that is not done in America, or in the UK these days.

[@lgreene7]

She needs to go back where she came from then! This is not normal!

[@theresacoringgray6885]

Ok

[@VeryKinkyCurl]

That’s what it sounded like to me when she first testified. Talking about going to the store and prepping garlic so she can cook. That’s not in a nanny nor a housekeeper’s job

[@marleonetti7]

actually she is the typical type of person who hires agencies to send over a super nanny . my cousin is a former school teacher and she has been a professional nanny now for 20 years and she will only work for wealthier families because they not only pay more but they also have multiple nannies and housekeepers that work different shifts so no need to live there .

[@cassandra6710]

I think she needed to look for someone who would do it all rather than a housekeeper. She wanted a nanny, house keeper, errand runner, cook, all in one.

[@oldageisdumb]

That’s what a house keeper is. You might be confused with a house cleaner.

[@wvrjl]

​@oldageisdumb - I don't agree at all that a housekeeper automatically includes nanny duties (or even errands, unless it has to do with keeping house).

[@CandidLy1]

The duties were clear from the beginning. The business owner is not going to just send people over that aren’t matched to the job as stated in the contract or she could be legitimately sued.

[@0LadyV0]

​@@oldageisdumbNo. It's not. That's what they call hotel cleaners. Housekeeping. They aren't cook, nannies or personal assistants.

[@oldageisdumb]

@@0LadyV0 Look, there are most definitely housekeepers that are all those things. You seem to not realize that. I don’t know how to help you understand. Yes, there are people who only clean but that’s not what she was hiring. She was hiring a traditional LIVE IN housekeeper, which is different. Think of Alice on the Brady Bunch. Alice was a live in house keeper.

[@WorkingMommieJ]

You can absolutely tell she has extreme expectations with a nasty attitude. Good for the people who walked away

[@peekaboots01]

Seriously. God help us who must work for others for survival.

[@wvrjl]

I don't really think expecting clean dishes or a person actually doing their job (without being told every second what to do - clean up) is all that unreasonable. When I do dishes, I feel them to ensure the surface is smooth and not greasy. I saw someone who left cutlery disgustingly greasy (so much so that he had to rinse them off before using them) because he wouldn't use hot water.

[@WorkingMommieJ]

@@wvrjl I've has people clean my homes and a simple conversation can resolve this issue. I just think this person was a nitpicked and nothing will or would make her happy. To hear several people not 1 had a bad instance leads me to believe it is her

[@bonbonjovi4836]

I had a boss like at my first job at Knotts Berry Farm while I was in high school. We had no customers so I got some cleaners and paper towel and start cleaning the dirty storage slots underneath the counter and she started to argue with me about not being at the cashier (she didn't even come to the shop and check, just observed from far away). She comes by later on and starts to argue with me. Showed her the cleaning I did, and quit.

[@clovermccombs8597]

​@@wvrjlCold water works just as good. Why warm water is suggested while hand washing is for our comfort. If you wash correctly, the proper length time, water temp don't matter.

[@Catloudan]

Plaintiff is a nightmare to work with. Nobody is good enough. I feel bad for her family.

[@peekaboots01]

Why? Her family doesn't have to do anything. That's why she hires help.

[@adrianaofflimits6433]

​@peekaboots01 she's probably really strict with them as well that's whay he meant.

[@sephiaaguilarmendoza491]

My mom always told me if your gonna be picky about it do it yourself so when it's not done properly you'll have nobody to blame but you

[@projectionv.accountability1010]

She doesn't want a housekeeper. She wants a crew of "help" for the price of one.

[@oldageisdumb]

Not really. A live in housekeeper is exactly the right person for the job.

[@CandidLy1]

If she’s willing to pay for it she can have what she wants - other people would refer to that job title as a wife and mother 😏

[@brickstine202]

The plaintiff needs to clean her own house.

[@theresacoringgray6885]

Right

[@MsSparklesNGlitter]

I am a clean freak and very picky in how I like my house cleaned, so I do it myself. When you like things done in a very specific way, best to do them yourself.

[@erisfelder4090]

[@marlaholmes6706]

[@marlaholmes6706]

I clean for wonderful awesome people who have never near acted like the plaintiff. If they did, I’d walk

[@TuesThruFri]

I couldn’t even imagine having so much money where I could PAY someone to FIND someone that I can PAY to clean my house. I can barely afford cheap cleaning supplies to be able to clean up for myself.

[@karlar534]

I didn't even know this profession existed. Also for that price is crazy. Soon people are gonna need someone to help them decide when to take a poop.

[@elvickRULES]

If it helps buying the chemical and mixing it yourself (with water) saves a lot of money. Not applicable to everything (as far as I know), but that’s what I do for some cleaning products

[@hottuna2006]

It all boils down to one thing: Time is money. Why waste time on the tedious task of vetting people if you can afford to have someone else do it for you? Companies do it all the time by going through agencies to find the right person for the job and paying them thousands of dollars per employee. And I'm not talking about fast food jobs. If you can't understand there's a market for this type of service, you're obviously not part of the target market.

[@trekgirl65]

through an agency, which they have been around for many years, you pay a fee and for a service they do for you. But rich ladies are very hard to please, that has been known for many years in the USA.

[@paulaeppley3569]

Try: 2 Tablespoons Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (must be blue Dawn original) 1/2 c. white vinegar 32 oz. water Put this in a spray bottle and use for general cleaning. It’s awesome, and and smells nice, too. 😊

House cleaners don't cook. That's not in the job description. She's looking to get freebies.

[@bonbonjovi4836]

Honestly this isnt the same, but I've now learned to not go to the nail salon because I rarely meet a tech that does my nails the way I need it. As you grow older you have to adjust. I'll go to the nail salon for nexgen. But not for regular polish or gel manicures. No one can do my brows but me. I do my hair and no one else can do it except one person but that's only for a certain type of braiding hairstyle. It's okay to have a preference. Just tailor it when your working with someone else, and work with them for their best attributes and talent. Like some products over promise. I've learned that a exfoliating scrub is great but I still need to buy a tea tree wash for acne. I dont think she liked the business owners style. So pick a more high end approach. It's okay if it's not a fit. Okay.👌
