My wife uses Shipt to order the groceries and in our neighborhood, anecdotally, most of the Shipt shoppers are suburban moms. We usually order our groceries about mid-day and they are delivered mid-afternoon. For a SAHM with kids in school this works out perfect as you can get a few hours of work in when you would otherwise be at home. Lots of women in my area (including my wife) are SAHMs.
Secondly I think moms are a good fit for Shipt shoppers. We had a lot of trouble in the beginning with shipt because the shoppers were young people not used to picking out produce and staples for a family. Over time I noticed more moms delivering our groceries and they seemed to get it right more often. Naturally they could guess what my wife wanted when substitutions were necessary or instructions were needed. They always ask first but sometimes you don't have time to text them back before they're done shopping. It's nice when they show up to the door and say "they didn't have ____, but I could see you're making chili, so I got you ____".
