I usually only hire one person. I find it hard to keep track of three or four people wandering around my house! I'm not comfortable with that!

I "get" that.....our house is small and I stay central but do keep vigilant while they're here. One person can linger and do more, I'd think, but then I'm a bit suspicious. I'm not looking to "fire" this team yet. BUT wondered how others have fared. I'm thinking I need to have "the talk" with their owner/leader!! They're hired to do a service and it's not a want for our household but a need. I'd love a site of reputable businesses that are vetted that one can refer to. Chains, I would think, might not be the way to go---but that's just me.
