live-in help
Domestic who stays
Live-in help refers to domestic workers who reside in their employer's home—nannies, housekeepers, caregivers, or personal assistants who are on-site around the clock.
The arrangement typically includes room and board as part of compensation: They converted the guest house for their live-in help.
The term is slightly more formal or euphemistic than simply naming the role.
