Servant is mostly out of use now because it can have an offensive connotation. It can evoke similar feelings as the word "slave", though they are different words. Maid is also a bit dated but not as offensive to most people. The safest, most respectful word/ phrase would be "domestic worker".
We have a domestic worker come once a week to clean the house
We have a cleaning lady (if female) come once a week to clean the house
