They live in the house they're taking care of and are expected to perform regular duties that are typically associated with housekeeping roles, such as dusting, vacuuming, and making beds. Live-in housekeepers typically work longer hours than traditional housekeepers due to their dual role of living in the home.

You can discuss specifics such as expectations from the live-in housekeeper and whether or not they provide their own transportation and supplies. Once an agreement has been reached via private messaging on Care.com, you can arrange for an interview in person or over video conference that should be monitored for safety purposes if conducted away from the premises.
