As said, you will not find someone to just do this.
It would be nice to know the age of the person, how are you related and are u a male or female.
If its just leakage and the person goes to the bathroom on their own, there are incontinent pads. All you would need to do is put one into her panties and trade off for the one thats wet. If she actually goes in her Depends, then you will need to learn to change her and pull ups are a good choice. They rip down the sides for easy getting off. There is a way to put them on without having to take pants off. There is probably a video on-line.
This is a task that you learn early on in the caregiving process. There are videos on YouTube that you can view. Pull up briefs are easiest if the person is mobile if not mobile then the tab type brief. If this is something that you can not do or will not do it may be time to either : Hire caregivers full time. (briefs should be checked at least every 2 hours, changed with wet or soiled. So from early morning until the person goes to bed. And I did change my Husband in bed usually about 2 times..he went to bed about 7 clean and dry, I would change him about 11:30 and if he woke about 3 or 4 I would change him) The other option is to consider Memory Care, Long Term Care, Assisted Living whatever level of care that is needed to provide good, safe care.
I think it'll be very difficult to find a woman to just change briefs from urinary incontinence. It's a 5 minute "job", if that, so would she be "on call" for every time your loved one urinates??? And how much would you pay her per brief change? It's unreasonable, plain and simple.
If your loved one is mentally competent, have HER change the brief herself using pull ups, as suggested. If she's not mentally competent, you need more help than just brief changes, so hire a real caregiver for the 4 hour a day minimum which is what's normally required. But you can learn to do this yourself, or assist, if you plan to keep this loved one at home with you....its part of in home care to change briefs.
Where is your Mom living: at home, in a facility, etc.?
Who does your Mom's showering/bathing? Why can't that person do it?
Are you her PoA/legal guardian?
How old is your Mom and what are her health issues?
I don't think you'll be able to hire someone to come for a measly 15 minutes every day (and she probably needs it done 2x a day?). Most hired aids want/need a minimum of 30 hrs per week on consistent days. You will need to figure out how to do this yourself.
You may want to consider contacting a neighbor to pay to do it.
Use pullups. They are as simple as underpants. You pull them down, remove and dispose. You pull on new ones. This honestly is not difficult at all. Wishing you the best of luck.
