I have a question about the occupations that are listed on the bc's.

Baby girl bc says "domestico" for the birth mom's occupation.
Grandfather's occupation is "jornalero".

Baby boy bc says "oficios domesticos" for the birth mom's occupation.

What do the following mean??: domestico, oficios domesticos, jornalero


My spanish is so rusty!

Domestica o oficios domesticos means house servant.
Jornalero- I'm not too sure about.

[brinawynne]

jornalero is day laborer

Since Myrna's question has (I think) been answered, I was wondering what kind of occupations are listed (unless this is too intrusive) for most of you.

My child's firstmother is listed as estudiante (student).
So far I have no information about birth grandparents, although mother is a minor.

Domestico has a broad term in Guatemala. It can include a housewife, self-employed and working out of the home, a maid or servant, or working in a restaurant or bar.

Olivias birth mom works as a cleaning lady, or at least thats what we got out of it. It listed the address of the place/ business that she cleans but then listed a different address as her residence.
