It's with great sadness that I'm closing this page today. For 6years you have been good to me. Then Covid happened. Yes that was 5years ago. But it killed my business on so many levels. I tried everything possible, even took on more than one job, as waitress, bar lady, chef/kitchen, and during the early mornings cleaning to help get you up and going again with no success. Worked 16 to 18 hours 7 days a week. Getting up at 05:00 Getting ready, loading my vehicle for cleaning. Leaving the house just after 06:00. Cleaning houses until 11:00. Then rushed back home. Shower and get dressed for my second work, sometimes till the morning hours. Started with 3 teams, had to let my ladies go. Only one remained. Only because she was still willing to work with me even though we made almost no money. In the hope of beter days . Cut my prices to the bone. Keep in mind Only asking R400 per cleaning session on 3 bedroom, living room, TV room, dinning room, patio. Including my own equipment vacuum cleaners etc and cleaning chemicals. Take off my fuel and wage for my lady and nothing left. Thats what brought me to this discussion. Making me feel like a failure. Because after trying for the last 2 years with no positive results I have to close. This was my dream, my baby. I had to give it one more try. There's just no work/possibility of employment for woman of my age anymore, never have I felt more helpless. Thank you for my only remaining clients for still believing in me until the end. What lovely friendships I build with these senior ladies. Became like family, and I will still continue the precious relationship with these ladies. Learned so much from them. Caroline thank you for never giving up on US! Breaks my heart to know you and me are both without employment. But we will never stop believing in a beter tomorrow. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY!
