One of the relief staff working our house (California) was 23. We had Teens 13-17yo. He had a difficult time drawing the line and maintaining a professional distance from the kids. He would get caught up in the horse play at times himself.
He also worked another home with 7-10 yo's where there was NEVER an issue. The younger ones loved him and he did great work with them.

You might try the "Big Brother" program or look into "Mentoring" depending on where you are located. Your age would be a factor at many location I have talked to or worked when it came to contact with Teens.

i have actually been working with jr highers since i was 17 and senior highers since i was 21. over the years i have learned to keep a safe distance from the teens. Because of my appearance, expieriance and demeanor keeping the authority is also not a problem.

I work at an agency in Texas and our facility currently has an opening for a couple, because of quarters, no children would be better. Our facility has two houses, one girls and one boys (teens). It is a very open campus, more like foster care. It is a beautiful campus, with lots of oaks and lots to do. We are located in San Antonio, TExas. Please e-mail me for inquiries.

I also wanted to tell you that if your going to be a houseparent you have to live their. The ranches I know of are four days on three days off but they always want you to work overtime and you really don't have time for a social life inless it's with another staff member. The houseparent turnover rate is high I saw over a hundred people come and go in the two years I worked at this ranch. I don't think your age will matter much as long as your really strict from the beginning when I first worked at the ranch in texas the boys cabin which was boys 8-10 of them level of care 4 & 5 ages 10 -18 had male staff all under 25 and they ran the best boys cabin the ranch had seen in a long time. Anyway e-mail me if you want and I can talk to you more about what goes on at these places.
