A homemaker is someone who advises families in homes providing assistance with household utilities, cleanliness, and nutrition.
Homemakers help plan meals and assist in purchasing and preparing food.
A homemaker will usually discipline the children by giving them household jobs. They will encourage parents to take interest in their children's school work and help them to maintain good study habits. Homemakers explain necessary hygiene principles and help provide proper care when a family member is ill. They also help to provide psychological support and health care for elderly persons. This is expected because of the growth in the aged population and the increasing reliance by health professional on home care for patients of all ages.
