A few months ago, I needed help with house cleaning. The young man did a good job; however, he also stole 2 designer handbags and a very expensive pant suit
I didn't discover that they were gone until weeks later, so I felt that I could not report it to the agency.
I have put away a lot of my good things because I know I will need help again
But that is no way to live. In addition to my husband's dementia and my declining health, I now have to worry about having my things stolen.
Any advise?
We are going to house our barky dogs in our bedroom, and a cat that loves to escape. If I suspect things have been moved or touched, we’ll install nanny cams (that record).
I’ll also take precaution to hide my jewelry, just in case, but it’s such a pain. Your belongings should be safe in your own home, but these are strangers that we’re opening our doors to.
Don't allow caregivers to enter with large bags or purses. Nanny-cam the heck out of your house and don't leave real valuables out in plain sight.
