Yes, she will live full-time with you. Even on weekends. But you must provide her with one day off a week. (Note: Most employers usually make Sunday their maid's day off. However, I have known maids who take a weekday off, instead of a weekend, so this can be negotiated with your helper.)
Most employers would provide their domestic helper with a small room of her own (many
condos provide a small room and bathroom just behind the kitchen or laundry yard for this purpose), and of course, her own bed and some modest furniture.
If her primary responsibility is to help you care for your newborn baby, you may also ask her to sleep in the nursery. Of course, again, you must provide her with a proper bed and space to put her own belongings.
You are expected, as her employer, to provide for all her needs while she is working for you. Her food, shelter and toiletries would be the minimum naturally (do also bear in mind that her usual diet may be quiet different from yours). But you must not forget to also set aside funds to pay for her medical and dental bills (if necessary).
Please bear in mind that these are just the basics. I would suggest that you carefully read the MOM website for more info:
