Koduarendaja

Koduarendaja is the Estonian word for a home manager or house manager. The term is often translated to English as a housekeeper or house manager, but it is a distinct concept in Estonian culture and society. A koduarendaja is responsible for managing a household, including tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry.

In Estonia, koduarendaja is a traditional profession that dates back to the 18th century. It was a common occupation for married women, who would be responsible for managing the household and caring for children. The koduarendaja was also responsible for managing the family's budget and making purchasing decisions.

Traditionally, koduarendaja was a position of high respect and prestige in Estonian society. It was considered a noble occupation, and koduarendajad were often seen as managers of the household, rather than just maids or servants. The koduarendaja was responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the household, and was often responsible for cooking, cleaning, and managing the family's schedule.

Today, the concept of koduarendaja is still relevant in Estonian culture, and many people continue to work in this profession. The role of koduarendaja has evolved over time, and many modern koduarendajad now work in private households, providing a range of services including cleaning, cooking, and childcare. The term koduarendaja is still widely used in Estonia, and is recognized as an important profession in Estonian society.
