I grew up in a big farmhouse with my grandparents living with us. So, there were two women in the house, but there was a time when they'd sometimes have a local Black girl helping out. My great grandmother and a couple of my aunts had Black women that helped them out full time. Also, my grandfather was practically raised my a Black woman because hos mother was very sick when he was a child. That would have been the late 1890's to early 1900 period.

We have a girl who comes every other week and cleans house.
