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