Maid & Butler Service in Spokane, Washington

A maid, or housemaid or maidservant, is a female domestic worker. Although now usually found only in the wealthiest households, in the Victorian era domestic service was the second largest category of employment in England and Wales, after agricultural work."Maid" in Middle English meant an unmarried woman, especially a young one, or specifically a virgin. These meanings lived on in English until recent times (and are still familiar from literature and folk music), alongside the sense of the word as a type of servant.
