I am a foster care worker, In case you didnt know Foster care is a system in which a young child under the age of 18 has been placed into a ward, group home, or private home of a state-certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent".
Do you like being a foster care worker? I would think it would be a very difficult job to do.
Yes I love it, But usually the placement of the child is usually almost always arranged through the government or another social-service agency.
How do they decide the best place for a child to stay?
Its usually left up to the agency to do it all and their demograhpics, It was said that the foster care system was mostly run by women until the early 20th century. Now both men and wemon run it evenly. 
Oh really? I would never have guessed there was an equal number of men. It just to me seems like a female dominated job.
the family court and child protection agency stand "in loco parentis" to the minor, making all legal decisions while the foster parent is responsible for the day-to-day care of said minor. The foster parent is remunerated by the state for their services.
In the United States, foster home licensing requirements vary from state to state, but are generally overseen by each state's Department of Child Protective Services or Human Services. In some states, counties have this responsibility. Each state's services are monitored by
Foster care
Foster care is a system in which a minor has been placed into a ward, group home (residential child care community, treatment center, etc.), or private home of a state-certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent" or with a family member approved by the state. The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency. The institution, group home or foster parent is compensated for expenses unless with a family member.
