He worked for two years and I could call him Jack of all trades He did everything around here - swabbing the floor, washing dishes, grinding masala, scraping coconut, watering the garden, trimming branches, shopping, doing the bed.......In other words he did everything around here that needs to be done He helped a lot at my Xmas parties I have yet to find someone like him and I doubt I will.

househelp is an essential part of maintaining a well-run and balanced household. They handle daily tasks like cleaning, cooking, and childcare — allowing families to focus on work and personal well-being. In our area, it’s especially hard to find male workers for roles like gardening or utility help. Many men tend to avoid household-related jobs due to social perceptions that label such work as low status or not “fit” for men. As a result, the demand for reliable househelp — often filled by women — becomes even more critical. These workers are more than just help; they are trusted partners in creating a safe and functional home, and their role deserves respect and appreciation.

Where is he now? I bet it would be so hard to find a replacement who can do so much as he does.
