If you want the microwave wiped down inside and out, or parts of the couch vacuumed, she may not have time to clean a bathroom. You're leaving it up to her to decide what she will do with the list of chores you have asked her to do within her time span.
If you are giving her a list that would take more than 2 hours and expect her to do them all in 2 hours, that is inconsiderate on your part. You can't just keep adding more chores to be done within a 2 hour time frame and then be upset that some of the cleaning is shoddy, as she has had to work quickly and not thoroughly.
Nor can you keep adding chores and expect her to stay longer without any extra pay. If you want her to stay for 3 hours, you pay her $75.00 plus her tip. $25/hour is a good price. If you take advantage of her low price, she'll turf you. You may think you've got the upper hand, but you don't. Treat her well.
You will find people are fair to you, when you are fair to them. Appreciation goes both ways.

I already did tell her exactly what needs to be done from the get go. I only added one small thing once like just clean the refrigerator shelves on one side only. I moved all the food myself.
She works at a set rate. So she can clean the house at her pace. There is NO time limit.
If she works fast or slow, she will still get paid the same amount. I’m generous & I give her a $20 tip for a flat rate of $50 each time. That’s way over a 20% tip.
And I don’t make much money either. I appreciate her hard work. I’m not expecting miracles, but she seriously left my husbands toilet filthy.
And when I nicely asked her to please clean it, she got quiet & offended it seemed like. Wth? Did she really expect me to be OK with her leaving things dirty?
Also, what really bothers me is that I almost slipped and fell 3 seperate times in the kitchen because she left the floor wet. The first time it was very wet. .
I could’ve fell & broke me neck! I told her that too & to please dry the floor. I even offered her towels..
She didn’t do anything until the third time & she made zero apologies for anything! Wth? She finally dried the floors the 3rd time but she left a few wet spots on the floor.
It’s a safety hazard. She also didn’t clean the microwave until I asked her to clean it.
I don’t understand her. She kind of half cleans stuff. She shouldn’t get so upset & shut down whenever I politely ask her to clean stuff!!!
If she wasn’t so inexpensive, I would’ve hired a better and maybe more expensive cleaning service.
I don’t understand her. She’s weird tbh. She’s way to sensitive.
