We are new to having a helper. The first few months went by without many issues to deal with outside of basic directions and getting-to-know-you's, ect. Increasingly in the past few weeks I've begun to notice things begin to slack off. When it seems to need attention called (such as a cleaning issue) I try to address it and it usually is quickly resolved. My question is about the newest concern:
Our helper is a live in which automatically has brought on things I never thought I'd have to deal with
When her contract with us first began, she requested that we suggest the time she was to return home from her day off on Sundays. Being flexible, it was mutually agreed upon that 9pm was suitable for both of us and that if ever a need arose for her to be out past this time, a phone call or quick text with her e.t.a. was sufficient notice. This worked well for five months with no issues. Three out of the past four weeks however is a different story. Increasingly later and later - we're talking over an hour - with no phone call just a quick "sorry ma'am" the next morning after being confronted to see if there was a problem.
I don't know what to do! I don't feel like I should have to babysit someone and their 'curfew' but at the same time, I feel like I am being blatantly disrespected as an employer who is more than fair and accommodating.
Any advice/suggestions - I'm at a loss!?
