Hi!
I was looking into hiring some part-time morning/afternoon help for my one-month-old before I take the leap into the more permanent care pool and I have found two services, Tired Mom's Helper (Jen Benjamin) and Premier Homecare (an extension of a Jewish services organization). I am in Bethesda, MD. Has anyone used these services or heard of them? Thanks! |

| Haven't heard of them. Would you like to post an email in case someone has recommendations? |

| Haven't heard either of those. One service I know and feel comfortable recommending is MetroParentRelief. (I'm in Kensington.) Stacie Smith is the owner - she's a mom who had a preemie and ended up in this line of work as a result. She has a pool of roughly 80 caregivers to pull from on any given day and she's great to work with. |

| What does she charge and what do the caregivers earn? |

Post here.
Some of the same caregivers can be found here without paying agency fees. If you do go with an agency- still check references yourself, insist on seeing the background check they say they've ran... I worked through one agency listed on your post that never even checked my references or did a background check! Crazy. |
