Seeing wealthy ppl joke about not being able to do laundry or get themselves a glass of water, is so gross to me.
For the love of Stalin these ppl need to be put in gulags / re-education centers asap.

I do agree with your sentiment but I have to ask you to elaborate on how caregiving and domestic labour are separate issues?
What differentiates caregiving and domestic work? Are they not both performing the same duties?
Unless you mean the key differentiator is that for caregivers, the work is a necessity, but for domestic labourers it isn’t?
Domestic labour can be a part of caregiving. But domestic workers aren’t performing the duties of a caregiver. Caregivers specifically help disabled, ill and/or injured people with medication, personal hygiene, feeding, going to the toilet, etc.
The difference would be the type of role the person is performing. A domestic worker (or “maid”) is working as a servant for an entire household. A caregiver works (takes care of) the care receiver.
There are professional caregivers but the majority of caregivers are unpaid family and friends struggling against the capitalist system.
Edit: remember that work and labour don’t mean the same thing.
