Butler
domestic worker in charge of all the household staff
A butler is a male domestic worker in a large household with several employees.
The butler is the chief servant, responsible for the day-to-day management of the house and the other servants.[1] In a traditional house the butler, who is always male,[2] directs the male servants, while a housekeeper, a woman, directs the female servants. Traditionally, male servants (such as valets and footmen) were better paid and of higher status than female servants.
