      Used as bait for investors

      Therapeutic childcare specialist

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working with children and families experiencing foster care, learning how to be antiracist in a very broken field.

      Cons

      Zero appreciation for the "frontline" workers - the people providing for the children coming into care. Often referred to as "babysitters" by other professionals in the agency - our benefits were nonexistent as compared to how they were described to potential investors. Stories of the children in our care were told to stakeholders and/or people who might donate, and our experiences were exaggerated - "the childcare specialists get free therapy, comp time, etc." and we got none of those things. We were the lowest paid of the agency but our program brought in the most donations.

      Pros

      The staff at Amara are passionate about the mission to support youth in foster care, foster families, kinship caregivers, and parents working to reunify with their children.

      Cons

      Sometimes feels like you are not equitably paid for the amount of work you produce while others are.
