[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone keeps comparing the job to taking care of children and want to pay that same rate, but this is generally a worse job than taking care of a kid, pulling from the same population. Kids develop skills instead of lose them…which is hard. Would you rather help a small 3 year old get dressed or a full grown adult? How about help them clean up after a bathroom accident? Most kids/toddlers are happy/joyful/laughing for at least part of the day. If a three year old gets hard headed and insists on doing something unsafe you can pick them up and move them away from the unsafe thing. [/quote] Also, kids don't accuse you of stealing something they lost or make even more paranoid accusations. It's fun to watch someone progress developmentally. It's not fun to watch someone decline often in behavior, emotional state and physical ability.[/quote]
