Welcome to another episode of The Zen(ish) Mommy Podcast! Today we are joined by Taran Conwell, who is here to talk all about mothers’ little helpers; younger, cheaper babysitters who have less experience but will allow you to enjoy a much-needed break! Listening in, you’ll hear all about the importance of establishing a support system from the get-go of parenting, why having a paid babysitter is better than always relying on family members, and why you should leave your partner alone with your children sometimes. Taran also shares what her support looks like as well as what she pays her helpers and where she finds them. We discuss the hard work that is motherhood, the ‘excuses’ mothers make when fearful of leaving their children with someone else, why a mother’s little helper is the perfect gateway into hiring a babysitter, and how the helper benefits from the job. You don’t want to miss out on this one!
