Yichud with two women, one of whom’s husband is in town

I am a home care therapist. I go to homes and do therapy with children. Is there a problem of Yichud where the mother is home and the husband is learning in a nearby kollel, but there is also a cleaning lady at the house while I am there?

Answer

Yichud is permitted with a woman in her own home if her husband is in town, and even more so if another woman is present.
