I started doing the housekeeping part of my job today. Basically I followed around a housekeeper and she showed me how to do the job. I'll be doing my training for 2 weeks and then I'm on my own!
My trainer is from Puerto Rico and has a really thick accent. So needless to say, there were some communication problems. At Hobby Lobby I worked with a lady in which we had a similar problem, so I can understand the accent pretty well, it's just me trying to explain things to her that is the problem. Also, about 70% of the housekeepers there speak spanish, so when my trainer would see another housekeeper, she would speak spanish to them and leave me to myself. That happened a lot.
ALSO, since I look latina, I've gotten a LOT of people that just ASSUME that I speak spanish and will talk 100 miles an hour at me. I say "No hablo español" and they say "ooh..." It's actually really funny.
So maybe I'll learn some spanish while I'm here!
