4€ per hour is what my dignity costs

30F with a kid. I am working 2 days every week, cleaning the kitchen in a restaurant in a greek island, for 4€/hour, so i earn 150-200€ each month. No insurance given to me, no contract. No other source of income. My employer filmed and showed me a video of the kitchen and told me that i didn't clean well the day before and that he was dissapointed. He was passing his finger over the surface in the video to show me that there were dirty spaces left. There was no fat-removing liquid in the kitchen. I mentioned that and i got the response that the liquid is only facilitating the job a bit, and that it is enough to clean with hot water and soap and then use vinegar.

I mentioned that and i got the response that the liquid is only facilitating the job a bit, and that it is enough to clean with hot water and soap and then use vinegar. I used a fat-removing liquid (CIF) that bought myself, i applied it, but i forgot to pass a towel in the end in some surfaces, that's why the marks appeared. I also couldn't clean well the surfaces that are located very high, because i used to climb in a low quality old ladder and 2 weeks ago i fell off and sprained my hand. She told me to climb in a chair, instead. Apart from cleaning the kitchen, i also cleaned the bathroom, the tables, many dishes etc. What are you people suggesting me to do it this situation? Here everything is overpriced because of tourism and i barely survive.
