The term 'Nursemaid of India' refers to two different job titles: AYAH and AMAH. An AYAH is a female servant or nanny employed in India, usually by a British family. An AMAH is a similar role, but with a more specific focus on childcare. Both roles involve providing care for children, such as feeding, bathing, and playing with them. They may also be responsible for other household tasks, such as cleaning and laundry.
