FAQs for finding a mother's helper

In a lot of cases mother’s helpers take on many of the same babysitter duties that a normal babysitter does. A mother’s helper can help with homework, can supervise children, and can even do light housework. The biggest difference between a sitter and a mother’s helper is typically their age. 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. Review 19 profiles to see which responsibilities mother’s helpers near you are happy to take on.

Thanks to babysitting websites like Care.com, it’s easy to find qualified babysitters online near you, including mother’s helpers. You can search through Care.com profiles to find a mother’s helper who has the experience you’re looking for and can help tackle the top babysitting duties on your list in Washington, DC.
