text: I have always been uncomfortable with housekeepers in my home. I have not had any in the past, and here are 3 reasons:\n\n1. I do not like the idea of someone rummaging through my personal belongings. It is a creepy thought to know that someone will be touching and moving my things.\n\n2. I am afraid that my things might get stolen or damaged. Even a housekeeper with the best intentions may be confronted with a situation in which he/she may need money. How can I be sure that he/she will not steal from me? Again, I know not all people are thieves, but that is a risk I do not want to take.\n\n3. I like to clean my own house so that I can be reminded of what I do have and do not have. Notice that I did not say I enjoy cleaning my house, but I do like it because it means that I have a house of my own to keep neat and tidy.\n\nThese are my 3 reasons why I am opposed to having a housekeeper, briefly stated, of course. :o)
