What you get with a baby care helper in Chennai
Handled for you
- Constant supervision — safe play zones, childproofed rooms, no unattended balconies or staircases
- Patient feeding: meals, fruits, snacks, and water reminders for a child who forgets to drink
- Diaper changes, toilet-training support, handwashing and daily baths
- Real play — blocks, books, rhymes, drawing, walks in the apartment park
- Preschool prep: tiffin packed, uniform ready, school van or bus stop escort
- Nap routines — bed at the same hour, without a battle
- Tidying play areas and washing the child's clothes and dining items
You arrange
- Discipline, schooling and medical decisions — those stay with the parents
- Homework tutoring beyond simple reading practice, unless agreed
- Driving the family car for school runs — say it upfront if you need this
Baby care workers provide domestic childcare and supervision within the home. Parents maintain responsibility for overarching discipline, educational curriculum, and medical healthcare decisions.
Is this for you?
- Maternity leave ended last week and the daycare waitlist says three months.
- Your 2-year-old is faster than the furniture, and someone needs to watch him every second.
- You work from home but can't take a call without being climbed on.
- School starts at 8, office at 9:30 — the 3pm pickup needs someone reliable.

Before you decide
The questions worth asking before anyone starts in your home — answered here, so nothing catches you off guard later.
What age can she start from?
From about six months through toddlerhood to early school age. Tell us your child's exact age — the fit for an 8-month-old and a 4-year-old is completely different.
Will she just put my child in front of the TV?
Screen rules are yours. Write them into the agreement — many families set no screens before nap; caretakers follow the household's rule when it's stated clearly.
Can she cook the child's meals?
Simple child meals — khichdi, porridge, eggs, fruit purees, milk — yes. Cooking for the whole family is a separate scope; agree the split before she starts.
How do I know she won't leave my child alone in the flat?
Never leaving a young child unattended is a plain instruction given at placement — near balconies, kitchens, water and stairs. You also get her references, which you're welcome to check.
My child is shy with strangers — can she come for a trial visit?
Introductions happen before you decide. Bring her once on a weekend afternoon; your child's comfort on that day tells you more than any profile.
What about the 3pm school pickup?
School van and bus stop escort is part of full-day shifts. Tell us the school, the timing and the route in the first message — that's what determines who's actually available.
What do you need from us in the first message?
Your child's age, your locality, full-day or part-time, and the school timing if there is one. Add anything unusual — allergies, a grandparent at home — and we'll match accordingly.
