You could also ask if she could cook for all of you (not just the child), put away everyone’s laundry, shop for groceries for you, make beds and tidy up etc. in those extra hours you don’t need her. Our nanny does that for us. She is a true mother’s helper and worth every penny.


No, that's a household manager. A mother's helper is a child, typically 9-12, who plays with your child while you work, clean or do something around the house. They're not old enough/mature enough to babysit yet, but the parent is there, so this situation allows them to get experience while the parent gets things done.
