There is plenty of work that is not being done which could be done on a grand scale if AI provides labor for all the tedium in the world. Child care. Education. Climate action. Restoration of ruined landscapes. Cleaning up the ocean. We are still in command of the command prompt. If we tell it to make billionaires and kill all the rest, those efforts will be pursued by the loyal slave, AI. If we tell it to heal the sick, bring sight to the blind, and popularize "Love Thy Neighbor", then AI would hop down a brighter path. I think it's time to adopt Azimov's Three Rules of Robotics.
I wonder what is the actual number of people that will be gainfully employed in the activities you describe. I need to do some calculations to figure the likely amount. My current opinion is that it will be a fraction of the size of the current workforce. But I could be wrong.
Most humans have grandmothers and grandfathers at some point in their lives, but not so many have a hands on relationship due to the primacy of the nuclear family. So there's 8 billion needing or did need grandmotherly and grandfatherly care.

If I were a robotics manufacturer, I could see making a caregiver machine: if it acts human, it is human
