maid
Hotel room cleaner
A maid is a female domestic servant who cleans, cooks, or performs other household duties.
The word is a shortened form of maiden and retains some of that word's connotations of youth and unmarried status, though modern usage focuses on the occupation rather than marital state.
A maid of honor is the principal bridesmaid at a wedding.
In hotels, maids clean guest rooms; in private homes, a live-in maid may reside with the family she serves.
