Greetings,
Please, what is the best way to say ‘home help’? This means a woman who comes to the home of a more wealthy woman and helps look after the children and do the housework. Unfortunately these woman are often not paid very well, at least in the West.
Presumably ‘home helps’ exist in Tehran? Perhaps women from South Tehran come to North Tehran for this purpose?
Best wishes, and many thanks,
Simon

Actually خدمتکار منزل can refer to men as well as women! That's why I suggest پرستار خانگی or پرستار منزل! But we generally call them خدمتکار!
In ads you can see these words a lot.
نظافتچی is used when you emphasize on cleaning the house!
پاکبان is a euphemism for نظافتچی or رفتگر!
