What is the name of your state? Colorado
I have faced some hefty health issues this past year and find myself needing to hire someone to clean my house since I no longer can do it myself. My sister just found a young woman who advertised in the paper who cleans houses for $10 an hour. The price is right since I have missed so much work and have medical bills a mile high, but I am a little nervous about hiring her because she works on her own and is not bonded or insured by a company. What legal problems would I be facing if she hurts herself while cleaning my house, or what if she steals from me? Are there other legal issues that I need to be worried about? Do I need to write up a contract between us, or anything? Am i making too much out of this? She may just be a nice girl making and honest living, but in this day and age it's hard to trust. Thanks for any advice in advance!
