Hello!
I'm new here and in learning Spanish. I usually refer to translators and dictionaries but nothing helped me with understanding this text from the cleaning lady (i do understand words separately, but can not understand the whole meaning of the message:thinking: ). Could anyone help me with that? Thank you:)

POR TEMA DE MI CUENTA PARA INGRESAR DINERO NO TENGO PUEDES DESIR A ALEXIS QUE ME DA Y TU INGRESAS A EL Y SIN EMBARGO EL TIENE TU MI DEJISTE QUE EL ME VA PAGAR CUANDO YO LIMPIO TU APARTAMENTO.

The cleaning lady didn't write very well. My best guess at a translation appears below. I had to guess at punctuation.

As a bank account goes, I don't have one. You can tell Alexis to pay me (cash) and then give him the check to deposit.
Anyway, he has what you said he'll pay me when I clean your apartment.

If that doesn't seem like a reasonable translation, we'll need more context.


I believe the following corrections should be made to the text in order to make more sense of it:
desir s/b decir
que me da s/b que me dé
el tiene tu mi dejiste s/b él tiene lo que tú me dijiste
el me va pagar s/b él me va a pagar

the maid has no bank account; deposit the money in Alexis' account -he has one- and he'll pay her. You told her he was going to pay her when/each time she cleaned your appartment
