Dear Queenie,
My husband and I are getting old and we need someone to help us around the house, but how do we find someone we can trust not to steal things they find lying around the house? If we have to put everything away before they come, we might as well do the cleaning ourselves.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—Old folks who need help
Dear Old folks,
Ask a friend, neighbour, or someone you can trust, perhaps from your religious community, to refer you to someone you also can trust. Even so, there is no guarantee, so try to keep a close eye on your cleaning person while they are there. It will also help insure that they do a good job of cleaning.
