The Victorian homes had a personal care service ranging from one to no less than forty or more, depending on the size of the house or land and the needs of the family.
While wealthy families had the money to set as many employees as they wanted, it was also the middle class to raise enough extra money to hire at least one servant. After the task was so important to the social image of the Victorian house that almost 13% of womenEngland and Wales as a domestic help during the 19 Century employs.
No matter how busy servant in the house, most families followed a logical progression that setting is designed to ensure that the tasks of the house had as many as possible an appropriate person to blame for the art or to see that there was done.
Lower in the hierarchy home, and often the first to be occupied, was a waitress or cleaning lady day. The entry-level position was usuallyfilled by a teenage girl that was difficult for the overall management and cleaning. Depending on the size of the domestic workers, who might also have laundry and other tasks as well. Think Cinderella without the help of Fairy Godmother.
The next would be made to be a maid or a nanny, according to the age of children at home. The maid would help serve food and guests, update the living room, a rejection ofBeds, and adjust the hostess to help with their personal needs. Sometimes it even national services for other internal employees of high rank.
The nurse has provided all services normally provided by today's baby-sitters are available. She dressed the kids bathed and fed her, took her outside to play, and acted as a mother in many ways. In some cases, was actually a "wet nurse" to breast-feed their infants allowed in some Victorian houses.
The next in line to be takennormally cook. The cook had absolute authority over the kitchen and in homes where there was no local staff about the cleaning lady and waitress often responsible for monitoring and adjusting the home as well.
This trio of girl char, nurse or a maid and a cook was able to a wide range of services to smaller families and less wealthy Victorian. But for larger families and make the setting for the next progression of the series as a rule, amale partner. Depending on the home, usually his responsibility ranged from general maintenance to the provision of cleaning services, the landlord. He could also double as a stable keeper and drive the car too.
For families with more demand for domestic workers staff have been selected for specific positions, fill in the different families. Open positions are a maid, maid, laundress, cleaning lady (who was the servant automaticallyStaff supervisor unless he was hired a butler), groomsman driver, waiter, a cook and a variety of upper and lower living waitress, waiter, and much more. The rich have seemed a waitress for every occasion.
For families with the property (also known as country estates), has always been a number of reasons, men, gardeners, grooms and gamekeepers positions.
The hours were long and the pay was sad, but there was a sense of pride in a domestic market estimated. In fact,many servants spent a lifetime with the same employer, and often watched the children grow the new lords and ladies of the manor.
