It s really like family support, said Kari Wright, a client of the babysitting service.
Wright is a single mother of three and a visiting nurse in New Bedford. With daycare and schools closed in the summer and early fall due to COVID, she relied heavily on her own mother and father to look after her children ages 2, 7 and 9. Her mother is a nurse and her father is a fisherman, so finding a babysitter was a priority for Wright because she was tired of shuffling her kids between houses. After asking for recommendations for a trustworthy babysitter in the SouthCoast Mamas and Babies Facebook group, owner Jennifer Potter reached out to her and informed her of her other business, Mamas and Babysitters.
