| has gloss | (noun) a female domestic amah, housemaid, maid, maidservant |
| has gloss | eng: A maidservant or in current usage maid is a female employed in domestic service. Description Once part of an elaborate hierarchy in great houses, today a single maid may be the only domestic worker that upper and even middle-income households can afford, as was always the case for many households. In the Western world, comparatively few households can afford live-in domestic help, usually compromising on periodic cleaners. In less developed nations, very large differences in the income of urban and rural households and between different socio-economic classes, fewer educated women and limited opportunities for working women ensures a labour source for domestic work. |
| has gloss | eng: A maidservant or in current use maid is a female employed in domestic worker. Maids perform typical domestic chores such as cooking, ironing, washing, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, walking the family dog, and taking care of children. In many places in some poor countries, maids often take on the role of a nurse in taking care of the elderly and people with disabilities. Many maids are required by their employers to wear a uniform. |

| has gloss | tur: Hizmetçilik veya hizmetçi evin günlük işlerine yardım etmek üzerine çalışan kadın personeldir. Hizmetçiler geçmişte hiyerarşinin hüküm sürdüğü büyük evlerde yaygınca görülen bir iş koluydu. Ancak günümüzde hizmetçiler üst gelir grubunun yanında orta gelir grubunun da çalıştırabileceği bir meslek grubu haline gelmiştir. Ancak geçmişe göre şekil değiştirerek gündelikçi kavramı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kavramla birlikte evin her gün işlerine yardım eden bir çalışan yerine, haftanın belirli günlerinde evde çalışılması yaygınlaşmıştır. Hizmetçilik ülkeler arası, kırsaldan kente veya sosyo-ekonomik duruma göre çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Hizmetçiler evde ütü, ev temizliği, yıkama, market alışverişi, çocuklarla ilgilenme, ev hayvanlarıyla ilgilenme, yemek pişirme gibi işleri yaparlar. Bazı hizmetçiler yaşlı insanların bakımını da üstlenebilirler. |
