It depends. If you just want to be a domestic employee. Just advertise yourself as such. I started with I Clean House Call me. You can charge less because you don’t need business insurance, or worker’s comp or even bonded. The person hiring you takes all responsibility for you. You will need to keep tax records and pay any taxes due. Your employer may give you a 1099 at the end of the year. Not only that but customers will furnish equipment and chemicals. There are lots of customers looking for dodmestic employees.
Many have had bad experiences with domestic employees and will seek out a service. (Note: be sure that your insurance agent knows you are driving your vehicle for business)
