Who include ...

Hi guys,

I am qouting a line from the Arabnews to check its language:

The honorable council discussed at length the affairs of housmaids but made no mention of other household servants who include drivers, baby sitters, cookers and others.

What do you think of "who include"? Was it used correctly.

Thanks Rayh.

In fact, the origanl qoute has "cooks". I misscopied it.

I thought it was awkward too. Thanks for rephrasing it to sound more natural.
