I guess I didn't realize that a mother's helper had a negative connotation associated with it. What I need is somebody to help me (the mother) take care of my babies for a few hours a couple of times a week. I will usually be here and fully involved in the babies care the entire time. I never said I was against paying $20/hr...kind of just wanted some advice about what to expect to pay. I know I am in a unique situation. This is the first time I've ever posted in DC Urban Moms/Dads, and I guess I've learned that there are some not very nice and rather snooty people on here, which is not how I am at all, so that is a bit disappointing to me. At any rate, thanks to everyone who responded and gave me some input. :-)[/quote]

Op, there is no negative connotation. Even mothers helpers and babysitters are an important resource for parents and you are right to consider all of your options. There is nothing at all bad or inferior about being a mothers helper. As a nanny, I have had to explain what sets me apart from other types of child care professionals, being able to do it with professionalism is one hallmark of the title I wear. It sounds like you have gotten enough information to make a more informed decision.[/quote]
