Alison and Amy have been working as mother's helpers to two moms. Here is a partial list of their job description so far. It's a wonderful education!

wipe noses
change diapers
paint walls
make supper

And they LOVE IT! Amy is a bit jealous that her sister has somehow landed all the fun shopping jobs with the cartload of children. I'm sure it will even out. This is one of their happy bunches of kids, at Sam's Club:
Did you count six? There are six. In about three weeks, make that seven. :)
Grace would be good at this job. About how much does one ask for, money-wise? I have no clue what to ask for.
ReplyDeleteFun Times!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was a mother's helper for a few months. It was a lot of fun. My own list of tasks looked much like that, only you can add "milk the cow" onto the end of it. :P
ReplyDeleteWow what a way to develop home making skills! Great job.
ReplyDeleteOther than the 'wiping up vomit in the car' I'll bet my girls would love ti too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience for them (and it sounds like that mama could use all the help she can get now - if she's anything like I was in my last month of pregnancy.)
