A Mommy’s Helper provides structured support while a parent is present in the home. This role is designed to be an extra set of hands — not a replacement caregiver.

 

At Tried and True – Nannies and Sitters, we place dependable Mommy’s Helpers throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee who assist families during busy seasons of life.

 

What Is a Mommy’s Helper?

 

A Mommy’s Helper works alongside a parent who remains home during working hours. This role is ideal for:

 

• Newborn transitions

• Multiple young children

• Parents working remotely

• Recovery periods

• High-demand household seasons

 

The parent maintains primary responsibility while the helper supports daily tasks, child engagement, and routine assistance.

 

Responsibilities of a Mommy’s Helper

 

Typical duties may include:

 

• Assisting with child supervision

• Entertaining children while parent completes tasks

• Helping with meals or bottles

• Light tidying related to children

• Extra support during outings

 

Mommy’s Helpers do not operate independently as full-time caregivers. The role is designed to supplement — not replace — parental presence.

 

Structured and Professional Placement

 

Even in supportive roles, structure matters. We ensure:

 

• Clearly defined hours

• Agreed-upon responsibilities

• Competitive Nashville market compensation

• Proper classification as household employees
