I started working with kids when I was around 10 years old as a "mamas helper", watching the kids while parents got stuff done around the house. I started babysitting regularly around a year ago since covid prevented me from getting jobs earlier.
I have 12 years experience as a part time babysitter, including 4 years as a Domestic Assistant where I was responsible for morning, afterschool, weekend, and some overnight child care, as well as housekeeping and errands. I have cared for all ages except infants, and up to 3 kids at once. I am extremely trustworthy, punctual,...

FAQs for finding a mother's helper
What type of mother’s helpers services can I find near me in Oak Park, IL?
In a lot of cases mother’s helpers take on many of the same babysitter duties that a normal babysitter does.

Usually, a mother’s helper is a “babysitter in training” who isn’t old enough to be alone in a home with children, but can help keep an eye on children while parents are nearby while taking some time to themselves.
