domestic employment
Work at home
Domestic employment is work performed in a private household—cleaning, cooking, childcare, gardening, and similar tasks.
The term covers both the jobs themselves and the sector as a whole: Domestic employment often lacks the protections of other industries.
A domestic employee works for a household rather than a business.
