If you're hiring them personally, no. This is only applicable when the hiring entity is a company. On the other hand, if you're wealthy and run your household via e.g. a family LLC which contracts that cleaner in a professional capacity, then - technically - yes. It's possible there's an exception for scenarios like this, but I'm not familiar with it. Disclaimer: I'm neither an accountant nor a tax attorney, but I've dealt with classification issues as both an employer and an indie consultant for years.
