Hmmh. I’m not sure if capitalism is of any help here. Rich people have maids and nannys. And old people. For example my neighbour is super old and she has someone help her with the chores. But usually -I think- we’re raised to expect a life without those kinds of (human) servants. I mean it’s mostly expensive because human labour doesn’t scale that way. Everyone need to pay an individual 4h of minimum wage a week plus another time that amount in social security and other charges (or hire an illicit worker). Whereas on the flipside, washing machines are pumped out en masse and that does scale economically. They’re absurdly cheap for what they do, and will pay off after they helped you avoid 3-4 medieval washing days. And it’s not even backbreaking labour any more.
So pay a human intelligence to do those things for you :s
Performance–Cost–Convenience, you get 10 points to distribute however you wish.
