Hi! My name is Ali! I grew up with a handful of siblings, so I started babysitting at a young age. I was a mother's helper for a sweet 1-year-old girl. As I got older, I began to volunteer in an elementary school in both a first grade classroom and a self-contained autism classroom with some nonverbal students.

FAQs for finding a mother's helper
What type of mother’s helpers services can I find near me in South Portland, ME?
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.
