Nancy, George, and Bess had so much fun helping Mrs. Jacobs take care of Anna Lin and Lily Mei.
If you’re responsible, creative, patient, and like playing with younger children, maybe you could be a good mother’s helper too! Always be sure to ask your parents’ permission before you start.
A personalized mother’s helper notebook will help you keep track of your appointments as well as the families you will be helping.

With a pen or Magic Marker, write MY MOTHER’S HELPER NOTEBOOK (or any title you choose) on the cover of the notebook.
Decorate the outside (and inside) of the notebook with cute stickers and drawings.
Inside, save a separate page (or several pages) for each mother’s helper job you have. Use the pages to keep track of the following:
• Name and age of the child (or children)
• Name of parent or parents
• Address and phone number (including parents’ cell phone numbers)
• The days and hours you’ll be working as a mother’s helper for the family
• Your mother’s helper duties
• Special things you need to know about the child
• Important: If one of your jobs will be to feed the child snacks, make sure you know what snacks are okay and what snacks are not.
Don’t forget to bring your special notebook to all your mother’s helper jobs and take down notes whenever you learn something new!
