It's a Beginning

 


What have you done lately to 'seize the day?'

I have another question. I found a woman to clean. As I spoke with her, her husband took the phone and talked with me. Her business is in her name. At least the cleaning business on the business card is in her name. He said the daughter is coming to in order to translate. I had to cancel, forgot why. I talked with her for five minutes and she did not seem at all confused as to what I said. She and husband are Hispanic. 

Now, I am not sure what is happening. The daughter may need to drive her. Or, maybe she does not like to drive. Not sure. So, when the daughter comes, should I let her work, too? Vacuuming up to things will work for me, but lifting a few boxes would make the place cleaner. I am not expecting anyone to lift heavy boxes. Besides, anyone can use my walker to transport a box to another room, which I don't need anyone to do. 

When I say I want someone to vacuum, how much translating is needed. Besides, I can speak a bit of Spanish. And, I can type what I want and have it translated for her. 

I think $25 is a lot to vacuum as much as I need. I asked for an hourly rate after he told me she charge $25 for vacuuming. Once she is here, I will pay what she wants at least once. I will not argue or short her. 

What is your take on this situation. I will not pay the daughter a dime if she does nothing but translate.
