so im an 18 about to be 19 yr old girl who does pretty good with kids and babies. i live in an apartment complex and sometimes through my walls i can hear the newborn next door crying. my dilemma is this: i genuinely want to help the young mother, but i dont want to come across as 1) insensitive (acting like i know how to take care of her baby and she doesnt) or 2) offended (acting like the baby is suuuuch a bother that i feel i have to drag myself all the way over here to make it shut up).

i genuinely want to give the mother a break, the baby doesnt bother me at (i can BARELY hear it). sooo should i offer my assistance? we hardly know each other ive only seen the mom twice. or should i just maybe wait to see if any opportunities arise to get to know the mom better then offer my help? i dont think we will get to know each other, i rarely see her.
