osoba prowadząca gospodarstwo domowe


Explanation:
The American Heritage Dictionary gives the following definition of homemaker:
"One who manages a household."

Nie jest to gospodyni domowa, gdyż ten sam słownik podaje następującą definicję:
"A woman who manages her own household as her main occupation."
Rozumiem, że home maker może prowadzić cudze (czyjeś) gospodarstwo domowe.

agree  Izabella Kraus: Nie zgadzam sie. Home maker to kobieta nie pracujaca zawodowo, tylko prowadzaca dom. Eufemizm na okreslenie tzw. kury domowej, powstaly w dobie feminizmu.

kobieta nie pracujaca zawodowo


Explanation:
Yes, "gospodyni domowa" is the most obvious one, but doesn't it sound a bit like the person in question could have been working for someone else as well (housekeeper). That's why I'm suggesting the above.

neutral  Mala Mi (X): Kobieta nie pracująca zawodowo nie zawsze jest dobrą "gospodynią domową", czasami ma dwie lewe ręce i nie zajmuje się domem.

gosposia


Explanation:
W Polsce to brzmi tak bardziej swojsko.
Jak wiadomo, gosposia zawsze zajmuje sie czyimś mieszkaniem.

agree  Izabella Kraus: No wlasnie, czyli kompletnie chybione. Bo home maker zajmuje sie swoim wlasnym mieszkaniem, mezem, dziecmi itd. Stwarza im dom. Strazniczka ogniska i itp. tralala.
