English term or phrase: meter maid
"The Surfers Paradise Meter Maids were introduced to the world in 1965 with a positive spin on parking regulations. Instead of issuing tickets for expired parking, the Meter Maids dispensed coins into the meter and left a calling card under the windscreen wiper of the vehicle.
Initially introduced as a countermeasure against the unpopularity of parking meters installed the previous year, the Maids are known for their gold bikini outfits and (now defunct) tiaras."

agree  Cristiana Coblis: Mi se pare cea mai potrivit adaptată traducere în cazul ăsta. Depinde de contextul real şi de "epocă". Ar putea merge şi îngrijitoarele sau chiar zânele parcometrelor.
