Would You Hire Me?

I've just signed up to study to become a Doula through Optimum Birth and I am really looking forward to it.

I'm a little worried though that I won't get any work (as a student or otherwise) because I am so young (22) so would you hire me?

Would my age deter you from hiring me as your doula?

Please be completely honest! Thanks!

Nope, wouldn't be a problem.

If you weren't due around the same time as me, I'd hire you as a student

I have PMd you

Your age wouldnt bother me at all, it would come down to how well we got on and weather or not I was comfortable with you.

Good luck and all the best with your course.

Nope not at all as you have had babies yourself

oh and i am only 23 and have had no problems with getting clients... if you were 22 and didnt have your own child then you prob wouldnt get work, but you have so dont worry

**Lirael** · 13-08-2007 15:57

no, not because of ur age though

JJ i luffs ya. age isnt an issue in my opinion, if you are competent and professional doesnt matter if youre 22 or 82

Phew! Thanks guys! I was a little bit worried!!

I wouldn't hire you based on your age or how many children you had...that wouldn't matter to me.
I'd hire you based on your knowledge and how well I 'clicked' with you.

it helps that you've had a baby too, IMO.
