I'm following a post on fb about girls high school chessed programs. I got the feeling that the programs arent putting girls in homes anymore to help the mom - just to play with the kids and do homework. If thats the case, why on ima do I see people suggesting to overwhelmed moms to call for a chessed girl to
Help with baths/dishes etc? What is appropriate to ask the girl to do?

playing with kids and providing homework help is helping the mom.

You get an extra person in the house. If mom is having trouble with baths, having someone play with the other kids helps her to give all hwr attention there. Same with dishes. The girls may not do the housework, but pave the way for you to be able to do it. Although some prefer housework to kids, so you never know.

I think thats the point that people are making. That the girls arent there to do housework. They are there to help play with kids so mom can do the housework.

I wouldn't want that at all. Helping is doing what the person needs. The person isn't your good action of the day or your mitzva fodder. But again I don't get those schools making you do non academic stuff.
