Re: My neighbor had her cleaning person come today

Here’s a suggestion - since you know your neighbor’s situation perhaps you could offer your assistance and they won’t have to go outside the home for help.

I cleaned my own house today.  I did not wear a mask.

My neighbor is about  68 as his her husband.  She is not very well... her husband is well enough he could have vacuumed  and do basic cleaning.   Nothing is that important. 

just seems risky  to me to have a cleaning service RIGHT NOW. 


@SeaMaiden  .... I agree with you but, this only demonstrates how STUPID people really are ... they obviously don’t  think outside the box & because it has not been stated not to have cleaning people come into your house because of the risk of bringing the virus into the house they just don’t think for themselves.... if they get the virus I do not feel sorry for them ..... STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!

My cleaning lady is coming this week, as planned. She has started helping with my husband, who has dementia. She doesn't work at other places. Right now I am her only client so I am fine with her coming to my home. My husband and I are staying home since we are both over 70 and I have asthma. I do not want to clean my house myself, so I'm OK with my cleaning lady coming to work. Besides, my beagle adores her and would be devastated if she couldn't see her best friend.


❤️❤️❤️ Your post really made my day. ❤️❤️❤️

@SunSprite  That wasn't my problem with the OP's post.

My problem was the judging of others. Some people need help; others need work. Who is the OP to judge her neighbors?

Re: My neighbor had her cleaning person come today

@BirkiLady  I understand. I hope my comment didn't imply anything other than what I intended. 

 

I am genuinely just trying to learn and figure this thing out. We had a few briefings at work today, and I listened to the news channels for a bit....lots of information overload, and sometimes it doesn't seem very clear.

Re: My neighbor had her cleaning person come today

Just to clarify:  I do not use a cleaning service. 

 

Except GS who cleans my windows.

Re: My neighbor had her cleaning person come today

We have cleaners (I got them after my car accident and recovery)  I kept them afterwards.  They were supposed to come yesterday.  But my husband called them and told them not to come.  I don't know. They started out coming every 2 weeks.  Then every 3 weeks.  There are ususally 2 of them.  They are super nice and I love talking to them. They seemed to understand why my husband told them not to come.

Re: My neighbor had her cleaning person come today

This is such an individual decision and everybody's circumstances are different.  Ours are such that we have made the decision not to have our housekeeper come.  We have known her for so many years that she is almost like a member of the family.  We hate to hurt her financially during a time like this so we will still pay her.
