You could have a maid but then you need to have them around all the time or you need a lot of space. Also many places in Europe it's essentially illegal to have a maid.
- patrickaljord 6y agoHow is it illegal to have a maid in EU? Never heard of this one so genuinely curious. It's super expensive for sure but not illegal at least here in France.
- macrolime 6y agoMaybe this is mostly in Northern Europe. There's certainly companies providing cleaning services, but you may find thats it's essentially impossible to find locals who will clean and cook for you every night. The alternative is then an au pair, but they're allowed to do only limited housework and some people have even gone to jail for having multiple au pairs working as maids, tough technically for breaking immigration laws by having multiple au pairs, it's judged harshly because a lot of people believe the concept of maids is nothing but oppression of poor women.
- kwhitefoot 6y ago> illegal to have a maid Utter bollocks!
- macrolime 6y agoI said essentialy. There's certainly companies providing cleaning services, but you may find thats it's essentially impossible to find locals who will clean and cook for you every night. The alternative is then an au pair, but they're allowed to do only limited housework and some people have even gone to jail for having multiple au pairs working as maids, tough technically mostly for breaking immigration laws for having more than one au pair.
- kwhitefoot 6y ago> it's essentially impossible to find locals Presumably you aren't offering enough money. Anyway that is a far cry from illegal. Au pairs are not maids.
