person paid to run a household
A person who is paid to clean and take care of a home, hotel, or similar place.
用法模式：
[someone] works as a housekeeper for [someone / a hotel]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "housekeeper" with "janitor" or "caretaker". A janitor usually cleans and maintains a school, office, or other public building, not a private home or hotel rooms. A caretaker often looks after a building or person more generally, not mainly cleaning. Also, some learners say *"housekepper"* or *"house-keeper"*; the correct spelling is one word, "housekeeper."

person good at running a home
A person who looks after their own home and keeps it clean and in order.
用法模式：
[someone] is [a good / poor] housekeeper
常见错误：
Learners may think "housekeeper" always means a paid worker. In this sense, it talks about how a person manages their own home, often as a personal quality. In modern English, many people now prefer words like "homemaker" or just describe the person as "very tidy" or "organized" instead of using "housekeeper" for this meaning.
