“MOTHER'S HELP: They either have English
as their mother tongue or are fluent in
the English language and do not require language classes.”
They are expected to be in the home looking after children normally whilst the mother is at work, or helping the mother in a busy household. They are asked to keep a home clean, maybe do some cooking and shopping. Be responsible for laundry and ironing, etc. They generally work between 8 - 10 hours per day. Our Mother's Helps are aged 20+ and must have previous childcare experience. Depending on their experience, they may be able to have sole charge of toddlers and school-aged children.
 
 
   
As they are generally not qualified in childcare, this is at the discretion of the parents. The wage of a Mother's Help varies a great deal on age, experience, ability to drive, etc. but we recommend a starting figure of between £130 - £200 per week. These amounts are net after Tax. Free time is generally one and a half to two full days per week (although some Mother's Help may work on the occasional morning over a weekend for some extra money). Babysitting is generally 2/3 evenings per week.
