Is there a translation in esperanto for this word, English isn't my first language so I don't have a good idea of how could I mix existing esperanto words to create it either.

If I understand correctly, a freelancer is someone that works from his/her house on small projects. But domlaborantulo or domlaborulo sounds like someone who works on houses.

probably easier to say self employed or contractor: konstruentreprenisto

freelance adj freelance work is done by a person who is not permanently employed by a particular company but selle their services to more than one company: a freelance designer/photographer/journalist
freelaance verb to sell your work or services to many different companies
freelancer or freelance noun a SELF-EMPLOYED person who does work for various companies
Three definitions by MacMillan English Dictionary (Oxford, 2006). So, not a konstruentreprenisto, or domlaborantulo, or domlaborulo... Maybee, sendependa or libera ĵurnalisto (etc). Literaly, freelance(r) is liberlanĉ(ist)o. How do you like this?

Wells (2010), page 264, provides the translation sendependa for freelance.

libera profesiulo is quite common; some say sendependa profesiulo; and a freelance journalist is libera ĵurnalisto.
