If You're Running Late

  • Contact Cleopatra support right away so they can update the client.

  • Give an estimated arrival time if possible.

  • Avoid frequent delays, as they can affect future job opportunities.

Example message:
"I’m running late due to traffic. I expect to arrive in 15 minutes. Please inform the client."

If You Need to Reschedule Due to an Emergency

  • Contact Cleopatra support as soon as possible so the job can be reassigned.

  • You don’t need to share personal details, just a quick explanation.

  • Try to avoid last-minute rescheduling when possible.

Example message:
"I have an emergency and won’t be able to make it to my scheduled cleaning today. Please help reschedule or reassign the job."

If an Emergency Happens During a Cleaning

  • For a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

  • If you must leave before finishing the job, notify Cleopatra support right away.

  • Let the client know calmly and professionally.

Example message to client:
"I’m very sorry, but I have an emergency and need to step away. Cleopatra support will follow up with you to resolve this."

If You Encounter an Unsafe or Hazardous Situation

  • Leave immediately if you feel unsafe.

  • Do not confront the client directly.

  • Contact Cleopatra support to report what happened.
    Unsafe situations include:
