Domestic Services

• A domestic worker is one who works, and often also lives, within the employer's household. Workersreceive payment (and 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.
• A butler is a senior domestic worker, whose duties traditionally included handling the wines of the household and some management of the other servants. Female domestic workers are often called maids.
• Domestic workers perform typical domestic chores such as cooking, ironing, washing, cleaning the house, buying foods and drinks, accompanying the female head of the household for grocery shopping, taking the family dog for a walk, and taking care of the children.
