看门人与托管人

There are many different terms that are applied to persons who seem to be there to fix problems and trouble shoot. In different countries, they are referred to as caretaker, custodian, janitor, cleaner, and so on. One often finds advertisements for the posts of janitors and custodians and, in some cases, the post is labeled as janitor and custodian. This article attempts to highlight the differences between a janitor and a custodian for the benefit of the readers.

Janitor

Janitor is a person who is entrusted with cleaning and maintenance of a building. However, if one looks up dictionary to find the synonyms, he is surprised to see terms such as custodian, gatekeeper, caretaker, attendant, doorkeeper, concierge etc. being given as synonyms of janitor. However, the general perception of a janitor is that of an individual who is involved with cleaning of public places such as schools, offices, hospitals, airports, and so on. Removing trash, vacuuming carpets, cleaning toilets, varying garbage dumps, wiping windows, dusting furniture and appliances, mopping and scrubbing of floors are some of the common duties and responsibilities of a janitor.

Sometimes, a janitor who is employed in schools and other public institutions is also referred to as a custodian when he is entrusted with other tasks apart from cleaning.

Custodian

作为一个单词的保管人提醒有人监护某事或孩子的人。但是,在办公室和公共场所,保管人是一个被视为扮演与看门人相似的角色的人。保管人是由负责财产或建筑物负责的个人,并有望通过清洁和维护来照顾该物业。有建筑物的监护人,但也有保管人在照顾地面,甚至是动物。

Anyone performing custodial service, looking after the wellbeing of a kid, an estate, a building or an animal is a custodian. However, this definition of a custodian has got broadened in recent times and anyone who protects and maintains a property by doing jobs like cleaning, painting, fixing broken things like window glasses, providing security etc. is called a custodian these days. Custodians have the keys of the place or the building and are there on the premises most of the time.

What is the difference between Janitor and Custodian?

• A janitor has traditionally been entrusted with cleaning jobs whereas custodian is a person in charge of looking after a property or a child

•但是,这些天的定义有些模糊,经常看到一个看门人扮演许多其他被认为适合保管人的角色

• A custodian is there on the premises of the property he is entrusted to maintain whereas a janitor performs his duties in the mornings or in the evenings

• Normally, janitorial services evoke images of a person cleaning toilets and floors, whereas a custodian reminds us of a person looking after maintenance and security of a place.

    我俩都干净,照顾好地。还可以交付交付的包裹。加上警报。问题不是语法是人。因为我们被视为垃圾。并以同样的方式交谈,人们认为我们是一个简单的人,他们无法做任何其他工作。我们没有教育,没有技能,什么也没有。人们只能穿着制服认识我们。他们看不到一个人。他们称我们为嘿,您,看门人和其他丑陋的名字,人们只是不尊重。 And the only time they are nice is when they want something from US. They believe they are better than Us because they work in an office. We are custodians, and janitors cleaning up there mess they make everyday, and WE see how nasty, disrespectful, and dirty they are everyday. WE are hard working people. We are both custodians and janitors. But we are people first. With a name.

    If Custodian is a politically correct title for a person who cleans buildings.
    Then the politically correct title for a Prison guard must be Vigilante.
    After all, they are actively vigilant over the prisoners.

    Merriam Webster Dictionary.
    Definition of custodian

    : one that guards and protects or maintains especially : one entrusted with guarding and keeping property or records or with custody or guardianship of prisoners or inmates

    The Free Dictionary by Farlex
    custodian (kʌsˈtəʊdɪən)

    1. (Law) a person who has custody, as of a prisoner, ward, etc
    2. (Art Terms) a guardian or keeper, as of an art collection, etc
