Housekeepers Reveal Employer's Secrets They Weren't Supposed To Know

There are several perks to having a housekeeper or maid—the obvious one being that you don't have to do any of your own housework. But, like all priveledges, being able to afford a housekeeper comes at a price. Having someone in your house nearly every day means that they have access to all the private parts of your life...

    Font - cleanandclaire 11 months ago Dog walker, here. I was dog sitting for an older work friend once and saw her "days sober" calendar. I was simultaneously sad, because I had no idea she was struggling, and happy for her because she had almost a full month marked off.

    You might think that your housekeeper is getting on with their job, minding their own business, and not paying attention to what's going on with your private matters. But you'd be very, very wrong; they see and hear everything, even the things you think you've done the best job at hiding.

    Font - sisof2 11 months ago S Not a house keeper but a nanny. A family once took me on vacation with them so I could watch their kids while they'd go out and explore the area. That week, my bed was the couch in the living room. It's late at night, the kids are sleeping, I'm laying on the couch and the parents get back. The dad says, "is she sleeping" referring to me? I didn't say anything so apparently he assumed yes. He then started farting very loudly.

    Housekeepers shared some of the secrets they know about the owners of the houses they clean, which the owners didn't realize that they knew, on this Reddit thread. The revelations proved not only do housekeepers see and hear everything, but people aren't as good at hiding things as they think they are. In fact, some of them are pretty bad. From sexual fetishes to money laundering, these housekeepers have seen it all!

    Font - LemmeHear 11 months ago · edited 11 months ago A bit of an innocent one but while I was cleaning I saw this cabinet that was very large. Like someone could fit a body in there. So, being curious, I opened it and saw A WHOLE ROOM. It was crazy! Inside there was a bed and lights attached to these tall wood pieces. Then a mini bookshelf with some books and a desk and computer. It was absolutely amazing.

    Font - CopingMole 11 months ago · edited 11 months ago Honestly, everything. I worked in a house manager/butler type of position, and there is nothing you don't find out eventually. The trajectory of the toothpaste droplets on the mirror would tell me which of the women had spent the night. I knew passwords to computers, alarm systems, bank accounts and safes that I hadn't necessarily been provided with. Drugs, kinks, medical history, sordid family secrets, skeletons in the closet, you name it.

    Font - smokahontas710 11 months ago One of my most "vanilla" customers doesn't know I know about her bondage fetish. She seems like she would be a kindergarten teacher, it caught me off guard when I seen her ropes/cuffs.

    Font - curlyquinn02 11 months ago · edited 11 months ago I wasn't exactly a housekeeper but I was cleaning up files at a job that I quit a few years ago. Within a week, I found out that the owner never paid any of her bills and used goverment funds (that was supposed to go to the adult care center she ran) to buy herself expensive cars and houses that she shouldn't have been buying in the first place.

    Font - Yahukenma 11 months ago While cleaning this older couples home who were your typical, sweet grandma/grandpa type. Very soft spoken and always tipped us great. We do a great job cleaning and are thorough, including vacuuming under the bed. Their bed had no bed skirt which would have made it easy, but the amount of sex and BDSM type toys were enough for me to "nope" and I now I can never look at them the same. Good for them though I guess! Lol

    Font - ThrowMeAwayAccount08 11 months ago Not a housekeeper but a friend did some contractor work. A client wanted to remove some of the drop ceiling and replace it with drywall. Well, a few ceiling tiles removed, and falls out a ton of crushed beer cans and used condoms. The family had a very active teenager.

    Font - flower_flaps 11 months ago The little old man im house sitting for due to a stroke had has a hobby of taking nude photos of women. There's a stack of them under his bed that i found while trying to coax his cat out. His ex wife (who was the one who hired me) had no idea why there was a futon in his living room with multiple light fixtures pointing to it. The entire setup reminds me of the casting couch in porn (if that couch was a futon.)

    Font - seizetheday18 11 months ago That the wife is pregnant again. I've been there through 3 pregnancies now and can always tell. Mostly because she's a hairy Italian. Her hair quits falling out as much when she gets knocked up. She's definitely knocked up right now haha. I'm just waiting for them to tell me. They usually wait til around 15 weeks.

    Font - PunnyButNotThatFunny 11 months ago I was cleaning the house of a woman with a young teenager. His room used to be in the basement but she said he kept sneaking out at night so she moved him upstairs. I was cleaning his room and found condoms under his lampshade when I was dusting and some pictures of a girls fell out of his Harry Potter book. I know she would have been really upset if she knew. I never said anything.
