servant
n.
one who is paid to perform duties for another (especially household chores); person who works for the government
Domestic worker
A domestic worker, domestic, or servant is one who works, and often also lives, within the employer's household. Servants are distinguishable from
serfs or
slaves in that they are compensated, that is, they must receive payment (and, following labour reforms in the
20th Century, benefits) for their work. They are also free to leave their employment at any time, although socio-economic conditions and laws relating to working in a foreign country may make that difficult.
