Answer:

Calpurnia is the Finch’s’ maid who has cooked and cleaned for the family since Jem was born. Atticus is a widower, and Calpurnia steps in and takes the role of a surrogate mother for Scout and Jem. She comes in each day, takes care of the house, and she watches Scout and Jem while Atticus is at work.
