Mother's helpers?

karelaorange

Any suggestions on how much to pay, what to have them do, etc.  I am 35 weeks pregnant with our 3rd and need some help around the house.  Our neighbor mentioned her daughter (11 yo) would be interested in being a mother's helper, I'm just not sure of how this all works...

I've never heard of that term other than referring  to drugs back in the 60's. 

I don't know very many 11 year olds but if I recall I wasn't very detail oriented. What kinds of things where you thinking she could help with?

For the most part they play with the littles so you can get somthing done or just have some time to your self. I guess pay would depend on how long they were over, personally I would think around $5 an hour (based on the fact that you are still there and essentially supervising everything).
