occupations (early 20th century)
This the occupation given for a woman who worked for a dentist in Augsburg in 1910. She worked there for two months, and it appears to be the only paying job she ever had. I'm not sure it was in his office. It could have been in his home.

: This suggests a live-in housekeeper. The word "daily" (or "daily help") denotes a domestic assistant who goes to the employer's home during the day but lives elsewhere.
