[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 12 an okay age for a mother's helper? There is a girl down the street that wants to get experience before she is babysitting age and her mom reached out to me and offered her services as a mother's helper.

[b]I have twins and would never ever leave her in the same room alone with my babies ever [/b]but as an extra pair of hands? Good idea? Bad?

She charges $5-10/hour and can help out 2hrs a day 2x a week. If love to be able to put laundry away or make dinner. I know this child won't have actual responsibility besides playing with baby and tbh probably just one baby. I can wear one and trade off.

Am I crazy for considering?

Again I would be in the same room at all times. [/quote]

Are you insane? At 12 years old, I was babysitting infants while the parents went out to dinner or to a party! My 12 year old knows her way around babies and toddlers, she babysits her younger sibling and is going to start offering her services as a mother's helper to neighborhood families, too. With your bolded comment, I'm a little concerned about your mental health, frankly.[/quote]
