Many people have maids who come in once a week or at some other arranged interval to help clean their home. Others prefer to have a in house maid available every day.

A lot of people feel that it is impossible to have a livein maid because of the huge expense that comes along with having one. This is simply not true. If you have a large enough home to accommodate an extra person then a livein maid could actually reduce your cleaning costs. Half if not more of a livein maids salary is paid not monetarily but by providing them a room paying utilities and sometimes providing food.

There is an increased amount of flexibility in having a livein maid as opposed to one who lives out. A livein maid can handle a lot of the daily tasks such as picking up around the house or cooking meals for the family. You can also choose to assign additional projects as needed such as polishing silverware or rearranging kitchen cabinets. Plus the fact that they are available every single day not just on certain occasions.

Being a livein maid is an ideal situation for a lot of people who are moving to a new area. Becoming a livein maid provides them with a place to stay which they otherwise may not be able to afford. Often the family will become very close to the maid and keep in touch even if they move on to other things. Single parents are especially amicable to this type of situation because it can be very difficult to afford room and board for two people (the parent and child) on one persons salary alone. In addition this type of situation can allow them to stay at home with their own child while earning a living.

There are disadvantages to livein maids both for the maid and the employer. For the maid it is often long hours. There are usually no benefits like health insurance. Some families can be unbearable to work for treating the maid as more of a servant and this can be difficult to get away from if you are counting on them for your living situation. For the employer they must be wary of untrustworthy people who may try to steal from them. Also if the maid gets hurt during their employ the homeowner can be held liable for medical bills and other expenses related to the injury.

Anyone considering becoming or hiring a livein maid should do research to educate themselves on the topic. Consider speaking to others in similar situations that have been or used a livein maid. That way you can be prepared for whatever may come your way.
