[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In the south everyone refers to once or twice a week cleaners as maids.[/b] We always had a maid growing up and so did everyone else I knew. I'm pretty sure that is still the most common term for weekly cleaners. When I was little we had a woman who came several days a week and was called a housekeeper. She did more than basic cleaning, she also helped my mother with child care and shopping.. My mother's family is originally from NYC area. My grandmother called the woman who came in to help her daily a girl or a servant. I believe the woman was a recent immigrant from somewhere in Europe. That was in the 1920-1950s.[/quote] A house keeper is someone who works for you full time. A maid is someone who comes in once in awhile. [/quote]
