Law/Patents - Law (general) / Legal deposition.
Spanish term or phrase: Ayudante de piso.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Dominican Spanish into American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation of a legal deposition. The Spanish speaker is from The Dominican Republic.

Is okay to translate it as floor's helper?

Thanks for you help.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Yo estaba trabajando en el delicatessen en Queens, Nueva York y en la carnicería de ese lugar. Mi título laboral en ese lugar era el ayudante de piso. Yo trabajaba 5 días a la semana.

Floor assistant
Explanation:
In Spain "asistente de piso" would be a chambermaid's helper, but, given the fact that it is the DR and the context is a shop/store, I think "floor assistant" works well.

I think "floor assistant" is the correct term. However, you could search "floor help" or "floor helper" and see if what comes up fits your context.

Asker: Thanks for your help Mr, Alva Mendibiru but I don't think he was a butcher. He was serving food and helping the clients of this place located in Queens, New York.

Asker: Feel free to write to me in Spanish, I'm also a native Spanish speaker.
