I am trying it again. Now that school is back in session perhaps a local stay at home mom with kids in school will want to work for us and make some $.
I cannot manage this business and do all the room cleaning and laundry and cooking and everything else. Calgon take me awaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy...
Craigslist...be good to me man.
I feel your pain, JB. It is next to impossible to find someone dependable, even when you lower your standards. This summer, I did it pretty much on my own and am so, so thankful the season is almost over. Good Luck to you...

We advertised recently and was able to hire someone that I think will work out really well for us- fingers crossed!
But we did have one lady that applied who was neighbors with another staff member. DH gave me her application after she had left and said she had quite a bit of hotel housekeeping experience, so I got excited! He called her in for an interview. The next day when I met the woman, I was quite surprised. She appeared much older and didn't seem to be in the best condition.. But, to each his own, right? I try to keep an open mind.
I sat down with her and our Senior Housekeeper to do the interview, and she goes on to tell us that she's 81, she broke her back and had surgery a couple years ago, and was recently in the hospital for some other stuff. And when I ask if she anticipates any difficulty in climbing up and down the stairs everyday, carrying multiple loads of heavy wet laundry and bags of trash, and constant bending during cleaning tubs and making beds, she says no- she can handle it.
All I can think about it a worker's comp claim...
