[quote=Anonymous]OP: Another huge red flag I see in your post is that this mother is using the term "Mother's Helper" as opposed to "Nanny." People use this term to justify why they are offering a lower pay rate. They want to act like the job is not as much work as a Nanny job..In a sense, they are tricking you into thinking this job is simply assisting the mother on a day to day basis with simply and light duties, etc. She is saying you really won't be caring much for the 3 mos. old, that the infant care will primarily be on her. That most of the heavier day to day household chores will also fall to her as well. The reason she is stating all of this is because she doesn't want to tell you it all upfront since she is offering you such low pay for Southern CA. Then once she has you moved in, settled into the job, attached to the kids, etc. she will have you so strung out and you will be stuck with no place to go.

I say err on the side of caution and do not take this job at all.

If you MUST, then agree on a trial period first before signing anything and make sure you have a back-up living plan in place so you won't be stuck living there.[/quote]
