Mother's Helper Job Description - A mother’s or parent’s helper works alongside a mother or parent to help provide care for the children. Though the mother's helper will often be responsible for carrying out many of the designated tasks on her own, she typically works under close supervision. Since a parent is usually present with a mother's helper, the experience required of a mother's helper may be less extensive.

Typical Salary - Mother's/parent's helpers earn anywhere from minimum wage to $16 or more per hour. Their rates depend on the job responsibilities, experience, geographical area where the family lives and the hours worked.

Look for how a candidate has answered the "When Available" question to best determine their availability.

Benefits - While offering benefits to an employee is not required by law, doing so can make your position more attractive to candidates. However, mother’s helpers who work occasionally or as needed generally do not expect to receive benefits.
