    Hello, I am a mom living in Ashburn and saw your post. I have started my own business, called Mother's Helper. Perhaps we could be of service to you. See below for information on our services and pricing.

    MOTHER'S HELPER SERVICES & PRICING

    PACKAGES:

    Traditional
    A Traditional Mother’s Helper tends to be in their late-teens early twenties (18-21) and works up to 45 hours per week in shifts of 4 hours total each day (Early Morning, Afternoon, and Early Evening shifts). They can do light housekeeping, take care of children and help with errands and household chores so long as they are accompanied by the parent of the household in which they are serving.
    $25/hour, 4 hour min.

    Deluxe
    Deluxe Mother’s Helpers tend to be in their early-twenties and can include retirees (21- 69). They are considered to be experienced and able to take full charge of a household. They may or may not have specialized training in childcare/child development. They can work up to 60 hours per week in shifts of 6 hours total each day (Early Morning and Early Evening shifts). They can do light housekeeping including laundry, take care of children, do grocery shopping, meal preparation, and help with household and external errands either with a parent present, or, independently, using their own means of transportation.
    $35/hour, 6 hour min.

    Specialist
    Like a Deluxe Mother’s Helper, a Mother’s Helper Specialist specializes in a particular need. Examples include working solely on post-partum assistance; assisting the new mother with care for newborn babies during the first few months of life with particular attention towards post-partum care for the Mother. They help new mothers with basic baby care and may also do light housekeeping, run errands and baby-sit older children. A Mother’s Helper Specialist can also be well-versed and possibly have formal training in caring for newborns, twins/multiples, as well as special needs children. Specialists can also serve as a companion for an older person in need of extra assistance. Overall, specialists are Deluxe Mother’s Helpers with benefits. In addition to light housekeeping, running errands, transporting to and from appointments, they offer quality interaction with the client, concentrating on one particular need or service.
    $60/hour, 4 hour x 4 day/week min.

    Event Specialist
    An Event Specialist is typically over 18 and assists the Mother with special event and occasion meal prep, event set-up, hosting, clean-up and event break-down. They typically have experience in the hospitality & food, and entertainment industries. While they can supervise children with another parent present, they are best served helping the Mother with event details rather than caregiving.
    $50/hour, 4 hour min.
