By the employment of a Home Help the mother is enabled to
obtain a longer rest after confinement than would otherwise be
possible; her physical condition improves, and much after illhealth
is prevented; also, she benefits mentally: she is freed from
the worries and anxieties that the other children might suffer
while she is confined to bed, in the knowledge that the Home Help
is undertaking all the duties and management of the home and
children.
