The Housekeeper from Hell?

[ssha]

So, in this episode, we find a situation in which every, single bar of soap/Dove has been, not only removed from its bulk packaging, but from its individual cardboard box, and stacked, bare, on the bathroom shelf. That's 15 bars, folks. Stacked. On open shelving. I don't know if it's as common a piece of knowledge, anymore, as I think it is, so I'

Jesus cockbiscuits! D: Time to fire the housekeeper. I'm unclear whether this is someone you know who offered to help for money, or someone you hired; if you hired her, complain complain complain!!! If you DIDN'T hire her... all you can do is grit your teeth in a pleasant smile and say "Thanks for your help, but I won't be needing you henceforth."

Gotta agree with this, that's one housekeeper that has to go. Any one of those issues would be annoying enough, but the careless tossing of valuables is inexcusable. And who unwraps all the bars of soap anyway!

She's someone who was foisted upon me by my housing. I am required to have a housekeeper, because of certain aspects of my disability, by said housing. She is the only person--scratch that, was the only person I could find whom I could afford. However, what with tripling her rates for less than half the work, well... And it's just me she's raised rates on, incidentally. However, she has been pulling shit with several other residents at both sites the program runs. My worker is going to be setting up a meeting with the housekeeper, hk's husband (who speaks perfect English), myself, herself, and anyone else I want to invite to assist me in communicating.

is she mentally challenged in any way? that might explain some of her behavior.

not that it's excusable, mind.

[ssha]

I really, really wish. That would make it understandable at least.

[ssha]

I doubt it. I seriously doubt it. There is a language barrier involved. One which I fully believe she plays up so she can do things however she wants, and so that people will give her more money.

Ugh. Wonderfully, though, my neighbor gave me information for a resource site (Care.com) for home care assistants for the disabled.

Perhaps you could explain the difference between "housekeeper" and "vandal"...

[ssha]

Could you give me the Spanish translation? Mexican Spanish, mind. Not Spanish Spanish.

Aiya, you need a new housekeeper! The tossing of valuables would make me sharding furious and probably tearful, never mind everything else. Eeeeesh. That in itself would be reason to politely show her the door, for me.
