[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - It's come to my attention that we are actually seeking a "mother's helper" type of situation instead of a nanny. Thank you for all of your advice. [/quote] No you're not. A mother's helper is a child that you are teaching, not a qualified caregiver. [/quote] This poster is half right. A mother's helper is someone with limited childcare experience who follows directions well and needs supervision but is able to watch kids solo for short periods and is willing to help with light housework. They tend to be under 25, usually 18-22. Beyond that and they typically have enough experience for a better-paying job. If you feel confident that Grandma can handle all three kids in terms of childcare, planning and logistics and she literally just needs someone to help load the dishwasher or change a diaper while she feeds a bottle then that is what you need.
