I hire a 'party helper' for $15 an hour whenever we host. Now, I actually enjoy entertaining.
Hiring someone to help us when we host a party or family gathering has been affordable and helpful. A party helper also costs less than a babysitter.
Jen Larson Roesler recently started hiring one of her babysitters to assist with party preparations, and the change has transformed her attitude toward entertaining. For $15 an hour, this party helper helps clean, decorate, and gather essential items for events. Now, she feels less overwhelmed and more relaxed when hosting guests.
The arrangement has also allowed her to enjoy the event more, as the helper manages tasks and keeps the boys occupied. While the cost of hiring a party helper ($75 for a five-hour party) may seem high, it is equivalent to the cost of two pedicures. Roesler is grateful to have this support and reports a decrease in stress and an increase in enjoyment of hosting gatherings.
