Oh no, no euphemism. When I lived abroad, I had a housekeeper who came 6 days a week and did the floors, did the washing and ironing and all kinds of other stuff. Great lady. I paid her a fair wage and did things like paid her medical bills and got her a phone.

In return, she took good care of me and made sure that when I was going through a rough patch, that I wasn't burning the candle from both ends too often.
