Author's Note: I wrote this story together with my friend Peter Martin (Peter242) as a follow up to our earlier Kristina story. I have worked both as a nanny and a cleaner in real life for a number of families and ladies. This story is based at least in part on my own experiences. I hope you enjoy it.

Kristina was gently sobbing as she faced the kitchen wall with her hands on her head, her white cotton panties pulled down to around her ankles (the gusset looking slightly damp) and her dress hem tucked up into her belt so that her bottom, with the twelve red welts striped evenly and horizontally across it, was on show to anyone who cared to look. Melissa and Chiara were chatting happily at the kitchen table, drinking the coffee that Kristina had made for them after her caning and before having to stand obediently to attention and press her nose against the wall. They were ignoring her, which Kristina had to admit turned her on, because it showed how she was truly becoming their lowly maid and was that insignificant in the eyes of her "mistresses". As Kristina stood there with the wall an inch from her eyes, she remembered back to how she had ended up like this.
Kristina was working hard towards her deeply-desired new life of ultimately becoming a full-time domestic maid. She wasn't yet, indeed she still had a full-time job, but she was on her way to one day leaving the society she currently moved in, proud of her respected public position as a professionally-qualified and senior lawyer, to replace it with her single-minded ambition to live out the rest of her life as a lower-class maid, a cleaning lady, a domestic.
At the moment, Kristina was a senior in-house counsel for a large corporation. She was running a sizeable legal department and was involved in a string of large commercial transactions. She loved her job even though it was full of tension and pressure at times, but equally looked forward to the total release from decision-making she could enjoy as a maid, when her duties involved simple mundane tasks which didn't need much thought. She found that being a maid was ideal as she only had to follow instructions, she didn't have to think.
A year or so previously, her then lover, Heather, had made use of Kristina's natural submissiveness in their relationship by encouraging Kristina to delve more deeply into her submissive side and to clean Heather's whole apartment every week, and had overlaid onto that a strict disciplinary regime as a deterrent to discourage Kristina from slack work, and also as a means of giving Heather good cause to punish Kristina frequently by way of severe canings - something Heather enjoyed doing very much. Heather had then ended their intimate relationship, and had taken up with a series of other lovers, but had continued to "allow" Kristina to be her cleaner. By that time, Kristina had become addicted. Kristina steadily discovered that her natural wishes and desires were leading her to see such an existence as a better life for her in the longer term.
As it happened, after a number of years at her job, and following the completion of three significant commercial transactions, Kristina was worn out and needed a break. The corporation realised that too and was appreciative of her hard work and long hours of dedication. They suggested she take three months off on full pay by way of sabbatical to recover and refresh her enthusiasm for her job. Kristina thanked them warmly and leapt at the opportunity for a change of speed.
Heather had seen this as a great opportunity to get Kristina trained up to top level, and had referred Kristina to a friend of Heather's, twenty-eight-year-old Melissa, who was qualified to train maids and other staff for hotel and domestic service and was happy to have Kristina as a guest in her house for a while to be trained up in the skills needed to be a full-time maid, by carrying out that role in Melissa's house. What's more, Melissa had an overseas student staying with her, so Kristina's position there would be more like being a maid for a mother and daughter. So, it came to pass that Melissa and Chiara, the student, became her full-time mistresses and, as part of her training as cleaner and maid, she had to observe unquestioning respect and obedience for both.
***
Kristina's first mistake had been on arrival at Melissa's house, when she announced herself with a cheery, "Hi, Melissa, it's so nice to meet you."
Melissa, an attractive though somewhat austere-looking girl with long brown hair, gave Kristina short shrift. "You will address me at all times as Miss Melissa, Miss M or Miss. You are the maid. We are not friends on any level," she said.
Kristina felt duly admonished and, blushing as she was put in her place, replied, "I'm so sorry, Miss M. Please forgive me," and curtsied delicately to Melissa. Kristina's perfectly-executed curtsy (Heather had told her to practise) improved Melissa's facial expression, it has to be said.
Melissa then introduced Kristina to her blonde and perky exchange student house guest with the instruction, "You will always address my student guest as Miss Chiara or Miss and, although she is only eighteen years old, she can give you instructions as well, which you will obey without question."
Kristina grimaced internally at the realisation that at thirty-four years old she was answerable to a eighteen-year-old girl, but saw that it was right and appropriate given that Miss Chiara was a guest whilst Kristina was "the maid".
Kristina had arrived with a suitcase of clothes which Melissa just put in the corner of her garage. Melissa then showed Kristina the clothes she would be wearing, which were piled on the floor in the kitchen. They were mainly secondhand and cheap-looking, a number of short-sleeved black dresses which came to about half way down her thighs, together with a variety of knickers and bras. The bras were mainly white or off-white, the knickers, or panties as Chiara called them, white or in pastel colours, generally cotton high-waisted full women's briefs, some with pretty embroidered fronts and frilly lace. There were no tights, but there were quite a few pairs of hold-up stockings with decorated elasticated tops. There were a couple of long, warm-looking cotton nightdresses, with flowery patterns. There were two pairs of basic black flats, plain black maid's shoes. There were four white aprons, some short some long. Melissa explained that most of the items had been purchased from local charity shops. All were in Kristina's size, which had been passed to Melissa several weeks before. Melissa instructed Kristina to wash and iron them all, to use starch when ironing the aprons, and put them in her cupboard in the box room which was to be her bedroom.
Kristina was left to sort out the clothes, wash them by hand as maid's clothes weren't to go in the washing machine, and then hang them up and put them away when dry. In the meantime, Kristina had to remove the dress she was wearing and just wear her bra, knickers and one of the aprons, so that she could get used to being less well-dressed than her superiors. Kristina was pleased that she had dressed in good quality underwear that morning, although Melissa said, "Once the rest of your things are washed and ready that underwear will have to go. It is much too good for ... a maid."
For the first few days, Kristina found Melissa and Chiara a delight to be around, albeit perfectionists and strict about everything. Melissa would follow Kristina around the house, overseeing her cleaning, washing, ironing, bed-making and the like, so as to impress upon her the standards needed and where she would have to improve her skills. But Melissa would scold Kristina relentlessly when her work standard was anything less than perfect, and Kristina had to accept every telling off without any argument. Melissa had also mentioned that after the first three or so days of training, they would be moving to a more formalized method of ensuring that her work was of the required quality. "Then you will see why maids never wear tights in this house'" she mysteriously added.
Melissa also reinforced the need for Kristina to be absolutely obedient to both her mistresses. All of this excited Kristina. She revelled in her subservience and knew that Melissa'a being particularly strict was needed to help Kristina transition from being a thinking member of educated society to becoming a lower-class cleaner, housekeeper and maid.
Kristina remembered the first time she had earned a spanking from Chiara. Melissa was out and Kristina had been making one of the beds upstairs when she heard, "Girl! Come here!" from the floor below. Kristina had run downstairs and into the dining room where Chiara was doing her homework with her friend from school, Evelyn, also eighteen years old, both in the school's uniform of white shirts and grey skirts. Evelyn was pretty, with her brown hair cut in a bob. Kristina went up to the table and said, "Yes Miss, my name is Kristina, how may I help you?"
