I feel terrible for this family, but this doesn't sound like a good idea for anyone involved

Bad Job Ad Alert

Found this ad on r/choosingbeggars:

A local family is in desperate need of a nanny, or at least an extra pair of hands regularly (and ASAP).

Their 8-month-old has had a long hard road to make it to being alive today. His parents need help, because he requires a lot of attention.

They're hoping for volunteers to essentially come hold him and be in constant interaction with him so that his parents can give their 2-year-old son the attention that he's been missing.

Dad stays at home, so it wouldn't be a solo thing, and he can take care of specific medical needs for the 8-month-old.

(The medical needs are fairly easy to learn, as well, if people are comfortable with doing them.) The volunteer(s) would also ride along to doctor's appointments.

Ideally, they would appreciate a volunteer to be there from 7am to 7pm every day, but anything is better than nothing.

They are open to just one person living in, or rotating regulars who might come a couple times a week, or other solutions as they come up.

The family lives in ------. If you or someone God puts on your heart to reach out to is interested in helping out, or getting more info, please contact the dad: ------

Please share so that we can make sure this family is loved and cared for. And please keep them in your prayers!
