The main difference between a live-in domestic worker and an hourly domestic worker lies in the level of commitment and flexibility. A live-in worker resides full-time in the household, offering round-the-clock support for daily chores, which provides families with continuous assistance but also requires them to cover housing and living expenses. In contrast, an hourly worker provides services for a limited number of hours as needed, without the obligation of permanent residence. This makes her a practical and budget-friendly option for families seeking occasional help with cleaning or household tasks.
