I have a following sentence:

> **娘がお世話になる職場の方** として
>
> ご近所の母親友達として
>
> 母子共々よろしくお願いします

Context: Person A is mother of a daughter working (recently joined) in the
same organization as the Person B this is directed towards. I'd say that this
roughly means:

> As a person from the workplace where my daughter is "being taken care
> of"/working
>
> and as a mother-friend?!? from the neighborhood
>
> I leave both of us in your care.

I am aware of course that お世話になる職場 is likely just a fancy way to say workplace
where the daughter is [working or being
trained](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/60513/meaning-
of-%E3%81%8A%E4%B8%96%E8%A9%B1%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B-vis-a-vis-place-of-
work-or-place-where-someone-is-being-traine). What I'm wondering is does this
imply that the person in question (B/方) is the one taking care of/supervising
the daughter? I don't think so. I think the idea is that the workplace is
doing or the taking care is happening on it, and B is just working there.

So A is more asking for B to "keep an eye" on her daughter, rather than to
work her well...

And yeah, I'm also wondering about that 母親友達, is it someone who is a mother
and a friend (to A) or might it be more mother of daughter's friend because
A's and B's daughters are friends.

meaning nuances
Interpretting お世話になる職場の方
I think you're taking よろしくお願いします too seriously. It's [notoriously difficult to
translate](https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/yoroshiku-onegaishimasu-meaning/),
but basically it's no more than "glad to see you" here. It's a word used to
establish/keep a good relationship with someone. Even if B is not going to
directly supervise or train A's daughter, or even if B is unlikely to see A's
daughter at the workplace, there is nothing wrong saying よろしくお願いします. 母親友達 is
also known as
[ママ友](https://bangin.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%9E%E5%8F%8B-mamatomo/),
friends who are also mothers. They often get together and talk about their
kids and husbands.

So the loose interpretation would be simply: "You work at my daughter's
training site (though you may not have have chances to see/help my daughter),
and we will probably share some time since we are neighbors and both mothers.
In either terms, I'm glad to see you."
