In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

The noun 'laundress' is a word for a girl or a woman who did your family's laundry, either by coming to your home or taking in laundry at her home. This was a common way for an unskilled girl or woman to earn income at a time when jobs for women were largely in the domestic field.

The job of a male who did laundry as a living didn't have an equivalent term. Men who did laundry were usually business owners, proprietor of a laundry.
