[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mother’s helper is someone who assists the at-home parent (like playing with the kids while the parent fixes dinner). That’s why they have lower rates than a nanny or a babysitter. The term generally isn’t used for someone providing solo care. The rates for providing short-term care like picking up from school/driving to activities are usually higher, because it has to be worth their while to work a so few hours. And there’s a lot of competition. [/quote] +1 People use the term “mother’s helper” because they don’t want to pay a lot. They’re being really cheap. OP, what you were looking for is a babysitter and you will end up paying a premium for those specific hours that you’re looking for.[/quote] +2[/quote]
