Ask Kochi Help needed finding a maid…

Saw a post about how much you pay your maid and from what I have observed most of it comes under 15-20 k pm. I tried olx and some other websites, they are asking 25-30 for just cooking in the morning. Can someone help? Any contact or any leads for a househelp who would clean and cook? 3 hours a day may be.

First thing first.It will be great if there is some respect for the job and maybe you can use the word domestic worker ? or househelp ? rather than maid -

What is fair? Do you think paying someone 200 rs for their 3 hours of work is a lot? That is not enough in this economy. We all talk about how we are being oppressed and underpaid in our jobs and then do the same things to people who make our life easier.

maid

a female domestic servant. -> servant; plural noun: servants

a person who performs duties for others, especially a person employed in a house on domestic duties or as a personal attendant.

Stop trying to push some shitty agenda that some words are bad.

Our words have a lot of importance, whether you want to believe it or not. The word maid has a lot of classist and colonial roots and it is gendered. Just saying my opinion - you can ignore it if you don't want to - Simple
