ネイティブからのアドバイス
Well done! This is a nicely written and clear sentence. There are no mistakes, but it’s quite a casual expression.
Although it is natural to say “have a woman come to our home”, it’s quite casual. If you want to be more formal, it’s better to write it as “have a woman who comes to our home”.
- We have a woman who comes to our home to do housework for us.
We can remove “to our home” because it’s clear that we are talking about “our home” when we say “to do housework for us”.
- We have a woman who comes and does housework for us.
It is common to add “for us” in this kind of sentence. However, depending on the rest of the sentence, it may also not be necessary to add it. In your sentence, because you have said “we have a woman come to our home”, the meaning of “for us” is already clear to the reader. This means that it’s not necessary. But, it’s also not unnatural or awkward. So, I think that either way is okay.
ノーミス！
