That's great news! <br /><br />How do you know that your squishy, adorable, fluffy haired baby hates alcohol and dairy? Also, how did you know Joey was sensitive to the gluten? I know sometimes allergies are pretty obvious, but other times they go unnoticed, so I give myself a panic attack over all the things that *could* be allergic reactions. I feel like I never know for sure.

Because my little divo baby only takes 20-30 minute power naps throughout the day, I ended up needing a mother's helper to make sure my work was actually getting done. I was literally trying to work through the night just to keep up with everything. It sounds a little crazy, but we were new to our town and didn't have any family around, so I used Sitter City's website. I figured since I was going to be home with them most of the time, I could observe them together on and off. Anyway, it's been three months since she started and it's great! My clients are happy, the baby gets used to having other faces around, and I'm no longer sending email and working on spreadsheets and projections at 2 AM. They offer background checks, too!

In fact if I lived where you do I would totally volunteer for the job!!! lol I would say totally get one! and yes they can do all of the above if they are a good one!! Someone homeschooled problably has the flexibility you would like. The one I work as right now I get paid $8 an hour but the kids are all fairly self-sufficient. Honestly I enjoy being a mother's help because 1) it's a job that I love and 2) it is a really nice break from school 3) you get to know awesome families and help them out! As a helper I have found the experience to be awesome! Since you get to expeirience being a part of someone else's family and get to know them. I would highly recomend it-any sanity givers area always good!!! :) and don't clean before she comes!!! Otherwise you could drive yourself nuts. A Mom's helper is just to help YOU in whatever way you need it. I would love to know if you do get one and how it works out. :)Emily Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056114401178299779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-20358830698629376772014-01-03T17:39:22.928-07:002014-01-03T17:39:22.928-07:00Modern Mrs. Darcy uses a mothers helper; she might...Modern Mrs. Darcy uses a mothers helper; she might have some tips.

They make GREAT mother's helpers. I have several friends whose girls do that for extra money. Also, the suggestion above about college students is an awesome idea. A good friend lives in a college town and she has a student that she met through another family who comes a couple days a week to entertain the kids while she writes. I think it's an awesome idea - sanity breaks make for a much nicer, calmer Mommy....!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-13497545944347841192014-01-03T16:03:07.319-07:002014-01-03T16:03:07.319-07:00I have not hired a mother's helper but I have ...I have not hired a mother's helper but I have hired a nanny and have many friends who have hired nannies using Care.com.

Like you, I have an infant (and a handful of other kids) and I often find myself wondering what it is I do!!! all day. Keeping track of the books I've read (as silly as this might sound) has made me feel like I accomplished something this year other than diapering bottoms and filling sippy cups (important things indeed, but sometimes banal). I love to read and escaping into a book (and writing about that book when I find the time) is therapy.<br /><br />Congrats on your new baby. She's darling!
