Help around the House (4)

I believe the answer is:

aide

(Other definitions for aide that I've seen before include "Confidential assistant or advisor" , "Personal assistant in the military" , "someone in assistance" , "Officer who acts as military assistant" , "Somebody helping" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
