[quote=Anonymous]I know a person in their 40s who grew up with live-in servants: a nanny plus a housekeeper (2 different servants) at their primary residence plus different servants (housekeeper and caretaker (a couple)) at their primary vacation home. Now their parents just have one live-in servant at their primary residence. They have old school wealth (think: Rockefeller).

I know other families in the dc metro area with live-in servants. Most have foreign-born servants from their home country (and get access to special visas through employment at places like the World Bank).

I know a run of the mill white American family who live in a totally average million dollar colonial in the burbs who have had a live-in housekeeper/cook for decades. Kids are launched, mom never really worked, but they’ve always had an immigrant woman (same one for decades) live in their basement guest suite and handle all household duties. She eats dinner with them, watches tv with them, etc. It’s like having a grandma live with you, but she’s paid to scrub the toilets and grocery shop. [/quote]
