The term housekeeper is an apt word applied to females and they are being hired by the lady of the house. In the great houses of yesteryear the housekeeper could be a woman of substantial authority in the domestic arena. The housekeeper of times past had her room or rooms cleaned by junior staff, her meals prepared and laundry taken care of, and with the butler supervised over dinner in the Servants Hall. The extent to which the housekeeper supervises other staffs varies from household to household. In developed countries most families can no longer pay for live-in help. Males are referred to as housecleaners or head of household staff.
