Asking for a friend: she is looking to train her live-in-helper for when her baby arrives in three months time. I did not have a helper when I had my little one so have no idea of how to help her. Mums do you have useful advice on how to prepare your helper for the baby's arrival.

maybe for now your friend can orientate her with the daily tasks like simple household chores for now. but when baby arrives, the helper will need to include tasks like helping to prepare baby's bath, prepare milk feeds or feed baby, wash baby's clothes and bedding so she knows that it's part of her duties cos that's when the "Real" work comes after baby is here :) she can put up a timetable for the helper to follow but also need to tell her that certain things may be ad-hoc (for eg help to change diapers), to prepare the helper that she needs to be flexible too. hope that helps :)
