[quote=Anonymous]I advertised for a similar position a few months ago and found several promising candidates in the $15-20 hour range. Some applicants were students, a couple were young professionals with day jobs (I was looking for help during the dinner and evening hours), and a couple were mature grandmotherly types who genuinely seemed to like the idea of helping a young family adjust to a new baby. I'd suggest calling your job a "mother's helper" position and being very clear about what you mean by housekeeping when you advertise. If you mean help with things like baby laundry, dinner cleanup, bottle washing, etc. as opposed to toilet scrubbing and dusting say that. Lots of women love new babies and would be happy to work alongside a new mom, but don't necessarily want to be the cleaning lady. If you are looking for heavy housecleaning, expect to pay more.[/quote]
