[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] As someone who has experience working with both… First, you need to choose an easy client, a nice family. Second, you don’t do certain things, like you don’t take kids under 3 if you don’t want to do diapers and you don’t take incontinent seniors. Third, it’s true there’s more joy with kids but also more responsibility and they move faster! [/quote]
