Grandmothers for rent

Grandmother caring for a little girl.

How important is the role of a motherSo much so that for a pregnant woman this may be more important than her own partner. We women see in our mothers the future grandmother of our children, a second mother for them. We want you to advise us in our pregnancy. We need your help in the early days of our offspring.

Over time, our children will need their grandmothers and grandfathers, those second parents who consent and protect them above their own parents. It is very important for a child to grow up surrounded by family and love. But unfortunately, our parents don't always outlive our children.

Many times, we will need help from a family member or a close person. Someone to help us out in a time of need. And although it would be wonderful to have a family member, we will not always have that help.

Perhaps because they reside in another city, perhaps because of the daily obligations that we all have. And it is possible that in that case we consider the contreat a person to take care of our little ones.

Nannies are usually girls without children and without experience. Young people looking to earn some money with which to pay for their whims. But what if instead of looking for a babysitter, we used the services of a grandmother for rent?

In countries like Switzerland or the United States, the concept of a surrogate grandmother has existed for years. It is a service that is offered through specialized agencies, which They guarantee that the people in charge of the children are qualified.

Usually they are ladies of a certain age, who have had children and who have experience in caring for children. In these agencies they are even in charge of offering them first aid courses. That is, they offer the service of people prepared to care for the little ones.

Really it is a way of giving a job opportunity to women of a certain age, in which labor insertion is difficult. There are even cases in which the service is done altruistically, these people receive company in exchange for help to the families.

In our country, not much is known about this practice yet. It is difficult to find an agency that is dedicated to providing this service. Although there have been several reports about it on television that have made me reflect on it.

If I had to use the services of an outside person to take care of my son, would I prefer to hire a young girl, or would I trust the wisdom of an older woman?

Why choose a babysitter?

• By age, a young person is by rule more agile, can follow the rhythm of children
• Because being young is not an impediment. There are girls with strong maternal instincts who enjoy spending time with boys
• Perhaps due to their proximity in age, they are up to date with the games and songs of the moment, they would know how to relate to a little

Why choose a surrogate grandmother?

• Again by age, I could apply your wisdom to raising my son
• By maturity, a person of a certain age may be more prepared to cope, for example, a tantrum
• Surely by wisdom, a lady who has raised children will know what to do if, for example, a sudden fever appears
• Perhaps because of that image of an endearing and loving grandmother, all children should have one in their life

In any case, both options raise doubts. Anyone can get lost for a moment, regardless of how old they are. It's not a question of age responsibility does not come from date of birth.

Either way, if I saw myself obliged to leave my son with someone, he would be a trustworthy person. That I know personally and have a relationship with my little one. Someone in short who he could trust, regardless of his age.
