Question

Can I become a hospital baby cuddler if I am in a wheelchair?

Community Answer

Of course, as long as the hospital is disabled-friendly (which almost all maternity hospitals are). You can still hug babies without using your legs.

Question

I will love to apply for a baby cuddler volunteer position. What should I do?

Community Answer

Check the hospitals in the area you would like to volunteer. There is usually a wait list for baby cuddlers so check first and add your name. You could volunteer at the hospital until there is an opening so that you could show your dedication and work ethics. If you decide to do so, just let them know that you would ultimately like to be a baby cuddler. The hospital will interview you and you will need to go through training. You will probably need to have a flu shot and/or make sure your vaccinations are up to date. When you go for the interview, dress professionally and be punctual.

Contact the hospital you would like to volunteer at and let them know the hours and days you will be available. If you are chosen to be a baby cuddler, then you will have to commit to that schedule.
