Temporary Housekeeper/Mother's Helper Needed in Charlestown

Posted by Emma Y. on 10/1/2026

  • $26.00 per hour

I need short-term help around the house with laundry, light cleaning and snacks/meal prep for my kids (8 and 10 years old). I will be recovering from surgery so I cannot lift or do a lot of physical activity.

Preferred dates are 10/7 through 10/9 and 10/13 through 10/16
(7 days total) but I am flexible and can offer more or fewer days.
I am also flexible as to time, but 1pm-6pm each day would be ideal so you would have some time to get housework and laundry done before my kids get home from school (around 3:30-4pm) and then make dinner

Responsibilities would include:
Laundry for me and my 2 kids, including folding and putting away for kids.
Wash/change sheets on kids’ beds once/week
Light cleaning, tidying and pick up in the kids’ bedrooms and shared spaces (living room/kitchen/dining area) only.
Empty and wash kids lunch boxes when they get home.
Load and empty dishwasher as needed.
Make dinner (mostly for the kids but I might eat with them) - maybe walk to Whole Foods which is 5 minutes away if we need food.
Minimal homework supervision.
If the person drives, there could be more hours if you can take the kids to sports practices in our neighborhood.
We live in Charlestown steps from the Orange Line at Community College and can provide parking if needed.
