The OED's entry for do, under Phrasal Verbs, has an entry to do for —, whose definition 1b is:
colloq. To attend to; esp. to perform household tasks for, esp. as an employee.
They give (among others) a 1997 citation from the Daily Telegraph:
Mrs Simmons has ‘done for’ Mrs Lynton-Smith for 24 years.
In context, it usually refers to light cleaning and housekeeping tasks. As chasly says, it doesn't seem to include live-in servants.
A woman who does might have been called, in earlier times, a charwoman or daily woman.
