FAQs for finding a mother's helper
What is a mother’s helper?
A mother’s helper tackles a lot of the same babysitter duties that a normal babysitter does. For example, a mother’s helper can help with homework. The main difference between a sitter and a mother’s helper is that usually, mother’s helpers are on the younger side and are considered to be a “babysitter in training”. Typically, they aren’t old enough to be left all alone with children, but can lend busy parents a helping hand while they’re home to provide some level of supervision.
How much does it cost to hire a mother’s helper?
Mother’s helper rates start at $21.62, but the cost of hiring a mother’s helper can vary a lot based on their years of experience, the area you live in, and the tasks you want them to assist with.
Is hiring a mother's helper safe?
While it’s best to do your own interview, check references, and conduct an independent background check to help find a mother’s helper you can trust, mother’s helpers on Care.com complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Those who complete this background check have a badge on their profile displaying the date it was run.
