DELUXE HOUSEKEEPING

MS. STINSON CHARGES BY THE HOUR, DOES NOT BRING HER OWN SUPPLIES, AND IS A BIT PARTICULAR ABOUT THE KINDS OF SUPPLIES SHE EXPECTS THE HOMEOWNER TO PROVIDE. SHE WORKS ALONE AND IS VERY SLOW. SHE TOOK 10 HOURS TO CLEAN MY HOUSE (THE LONGEST ANYONE ELSE HAS EVER TAKEN IS 6 HOURS), THEN COMPLAINED WHEN I PAID HER WITH A CHECK, ALTHOUGH SHE HAD SAID NOTHING ABOUT REQUIRING CASH UNTIL I WAS HANDING HER THE CHECK. I AGREED TO GIVE HER $20 IN CASH AND THE REST IN A SECOND CHECK (SHE SAID SHE NEEDED TO PUT GAS IN HER SUV); THEN SHE HAD THE NERVE TO CALL LATER THAT EVENING AND INTERRUPT MY DINNER PARTY COMPLAINING THAT I HAD WRITTEN TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON THE MEMO LINE OF THE CHECK (I HAD WRITTEN THE NUMBER OF HOURS SHE HAD WORKED AND THE AMOUNT PAID IN CASH), AND ASKED ME TO WRITE A THIRD ONE. I REFUSED. ALTHOUGH SHE DID A FAIR JOB OF CLEANING, I WOULD NOT HIRE HER AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND A WONDERFUL CLEANING LADY WHO ALSO DOES GARDENING. SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, ENERGETIC, THOROUGH SUCH PEOPLE I HAVE EVER HIRED. NOT ONLY IS SHE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, RELIABLE AND DEDICATED TO DOING A FINE JOB CLEANING, SHE ALSO HAPPILY AND THOROUGHLY WEEDS MY GARDEN, RAKES LEAVES (WITHOUT USING A NOISY BLOWER) AND IS A PLEASURE TO HAVE AROUND. IN ADDITION SHE HELPS HER CUSTOMERS WITH PARTIES WHEN THEY NEED SOMEONE TO PASS REFRESHMENTS, ETC. SHE IS A REAL JEWEL, HONEST, FASTIDIOUS AND TIRELESS. A REAL HOUSE ANGEL. SHE GENERALLY WORKS IN THE CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, SHAKER HEIGHTS, UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS AREAS. SHE HAS MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
