Answer
I have worked thru Hospice and on my own and for a National Company. I have certs in medicine assistance, cpr and first aid. You will need to read well, show compassion, do bathing and change diapers and move your client around often to avoid bed sores. Read to them and do laundry and cook and clean and using a baby monitor will give you peace of mind. You need to nap when they nap--if you are doing in home care. You need to know how to deal with friends and relatives, know how to deal with death and what to do when it occurs and have a strong heart and broad shoulders. I have also cooked and cared for mental patients in a private facility. You need to know that their privacy counts. You may have to clean up some horrid messes without a peep. Common Sense is very important.

Has anyone seen the show "The Baby Borrowers" ?
Q. For those who have seen it, what are your thoughts?
For those who are unaware of what it's about, please read below and tell me what you think?
Each week a teenage couple aged 18-20 will set up a home and become parents beginning with a baby, then a toddler, pre-teens, teenagers, and finally elderly adults over the course of one month. The couples will participate in pre-natal classes prior to the arrival of the baby, every three days the couples will advance to the next stage. Some couples may have an only child while some may have the responsibility of taking care of siblings.[1] There are no eliminations or prizes (with the exception of experience).
Married couples volunteered to participate in the experiment by letting the teenage couple "borrow" their child. They would deliver the child to their home, offer advice about how to respond in certain situations and gave a manual with instructions (i.e. child likes/dislikes, favorite food or toys, when to feed them, etc.) The couples cared for the child (or children) away from their parents for 3 days. The parents stayed across the street in a home and were able to monitor their child and the couple on surveillance video that was set up all around the home. If at any time they felt they were needed or wanted to help, they were able to step in. A professional nanny also stayed with the couple and their child and monitored them. The nanny was only allowed to "shadow" to ensure the safety of the child and could only come forth in the event of an emergency. Once the age turned to the teenagers, there was no more parent or nanny monitoring.

I think it's a good idea. Like most of us, I just don't think teenagers put alot of thought into what parenting will actually be like. They live life with their head in the clouds and when told that it's not right for having babies at 15, one of their justification is 'Girls did it in the old days". Well, they were also married, had nothing else/weren't allowed to DO anything else and didn't need two incomes to survive.
I'm not bashing accidental teen mothers so for those of you who are, please don't be offended. I'm simply saying that teen girls who DO want to get pregnant.. the naivety is just incredibly frustrating.
There is no monetary gain, simply experience and hopefully a valuable lesson.

I think it's good for the teens but I don't think it's healthy for the loaned out babies. It's stressful and confusing for them to be taken from their home and put with strangers like that who don't know what they are doing. I mean I know their parents are in the next house watching them on TV and can intervene at anytime, but the babies don't know that and would still be confused.
