domestics
Live-in house workers
Domestics are household servants—maids, cooks, butlers, and other staff who work in private homes.
The term appears in discussions of labor history and immigration, where domestic workers often faced exploitation.
Domestics can also mean household goods, especially linens and similar items sold in a department store's domestics section.
