@All.
Once go through the statement completely it is given she cooks, washes dishes, and does homework. Here these 3 also a infinitives while the last one is relaxing which is a gerund, This Means an infinitive can't be matched to a gerund it is a parallelism error so relaxing must be replaced by relaxes.

The statement telling daily actions and her third person so third person he, she, it follows in simple present tense s or es suffix of the sentence.

It is a parallelism error. When two actions are in the present form, the rest also should be in present, i.e then relaxes.

As third person working is specified here hence all verb should be ended with -s or -es accordingly.
