Mothers’ helpers run the gamut from teenagers to professional adults – who you choose is solely based on your preference. If you find yourself seeking a mother’s helper in Canada, Mothers’ Helpers Canada is a wonderful resource to find you a mother’s helper you can trust. We place mother’s helpers all over Canada, full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out and seasonal.
The actual job of a mother’s helper is flexible; that means that you, the parent, set the requirements. Of course, you shouldn’t have the requirements be so difficult that no one will want to work for you. But they can be requirements that meet your needs, such as supervising your children, helping with their homework, putting them to bed for the night, feeding them dinner, entertaining them while you work, taking them to the park, helping prepare dinner or helping fold laundry or do dishes. These are all generally acceptable tasks for a mother’s helper to do; the important thing to remember is to tell your prospective mother’s helper all of her tasks before you hire her. If you only tell her you want her to take out the garbage after you’ve hired her, she might not be willing to do this, and both parties will be unhappy.

Keep in mind that if you want a mother’s helper who is not a high-school or college student, they might charge more. They also might charge more if they have any formal education in childcare, or have taken any medical training courses such as CPR.
