Who Is A Domestic Worker?

A domestic worker is any individual, whether an independent contractor or an employee, who provides any service of a domestic nature within a household, including housekeeping, cleaning, childcare, cooking, home management, or caring for the elderly or ill.

The law does not apply to casual babysitters, those who work, on average, less than 16 hours per week, or personal care attendants.
