Mizoram Maids follow very traditional gender roles and are very domesticated. From a young age, girls are expected to help with chores around their home. Everyone chips into keep homes clean and take care of younger siblings. Families tend to be larger and multigenerational homes are common. With more people living in smaller homes, women take care of multiple babies including their own, younger siblings and nieces/nephews. Mizoram Maids have been cooking simple traditional dishes from a young age.
What can I expect from a Mizoram Maid?
Mizoram Maids are very diligent, honest and reliable. They want to support their family back and home and there aren’t many jobs with good pay for them in Mizoram. They know dedication and hard work will help them take care of their loved ones, even if they can’t physically be with them. They want to fulfill their contract so they can build a home or business for their family. There might be a language barrier, but keeping things in simple English can help. Mizoram Maids especially love children and see all babies as a blessing. Mizoram Maids are able to cook but traditionally only make simple boiled and fried dishes.
