Domestic work serves as a lens to examine the relationship between women of different social strata that is constructed within the intimacy of the home. In this study, the objective was to explore the social representations regarding the roles and dynamics linked to domestic work held by the upper-middle class employers of domestic workers in Metropolitan Lima. Employing a qualitative and structural approach to the study of social representations, the central core of the representations about employers and workers were obtained. Among this sample, a distinct characterization has emerged — maternalist, a term coined to label employers who maintain a positive relationship with their workers, so much so that they believe they have overcome the hierarchical (and labor) relationship that is established. As a result, favorable depictions have emerged around domestic workers. However, these can quickly turn negative if the employers no longer feel at ease. Considering these findings, it is still worth asking the question: does the domestic worker truly become integrated into familial fabric, or does her status remain relegated to the periphery of the household rhythm?
