House Helpers Without Exploitation

Is it possible to hire house helpers* without engaging in exploitation?  Does it matter where you are?  (Of course it does.  If a geographer believes in anything it is that PLACE MATTERS.)  Does living in Nairobi present particular challenges to this question?  If so, what does this non-exploitative relationship look like?  How can I achieve it?  If not, how does a family with two working parents and a child move forward with their careers?  Am I asking the right questions?

*I include all manner of childcare in the category of house helpers.
