...How to Babysit In my five years of babysitting experience, I have learned that the most important components are safety, playing with the kids, and routine care. Children are parents’ most prized possession. Having a parent put his or her trust in me is a true honor. I have watched children from the age of six months to twelve-years-old. How I go about watching a child is very dependent on their age. Babysitting takes love, patience, reliability, gentleness and care. Children look up to older kids. Therefore, I want to be the best role model I can be for them. Knowing an effective way to care for children is truly an essential part of being a babysitter. Safety is the most vital part of babysitting. Before the parents leave, I make...

...The art of babysitting is one the most underappreciated jobs/hobbies in our culture. Despite its misleading name, you do not sit on a baby while performing this task. As a matter of fact, never sit on a baby, period. If you do, you will either get sued, fined, or arrested—trust me. Even though babysitting might sound like an intensely stressful occupation, you can considerably develop your skills in the nurturing of children while in an enjoyable environment. Finding a job or an opportunity to babysit for a family is the most crucial part of this process. You can make an account on different babysitting websites to find a wider range of potential customers. ALWAYS make sure that the babysitting organization is legitimate and approved. However, I am asked by close family members or friends to watch after their children. You might wait a while to obtain a job or,...

...CEO of Sittercity.com, looked over at Dan Ratner, Sittercity’s vice president and her boyfriend of five years. It had taken her six long years to build Sittercity into the nation’s leading babysitting Web service. Thiers had begun Sittercity in 2001 in Boston as a way to connect babysitters and parents online, at a time when no one else had thought to manage caregiving connections via the Web. She had started the company right out of college while working full-time, but by 2006, Sittercity had sitters available across the country, was larger than all of its competitors combined, and Thiers still owned two-thirds of the venture. The company now had plans to add pet, elder-care, house, and tutoring services in 2007, and Thiers wondered what other challenges she and Ratner would face as she continued to grow her venture. Born to Babysit Thiers liked to joke, “As the oldest of seven kids, babysitting is in my blood.” At the age of 11, Thiers and her twin sister began babysitting in her hometown of Langhorne, Pennsylvania. From the outset Thiers enjoyed babysitting. She saw it as a way to escape from home, meet new people, and “raid a fridge that wasn’t mine.” At first they sat for children who lived on their immediate block, but by the time the two turned 15, they were babysitting throughout the neighborhood. To put parents at ease, Thiers would tell them about her own family and taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Thiers quickly realized that “I was naturally...

...Personal Reflection Paper By: Heather Bennett Course: BSHS/345 Due: 9/7/2015 Instructor: Rina Wallace Invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization are two things that everyone will experience in their lifetime. I can personally say that I have experienced both of them many times in my lifetime and still struggle with them to this day. In this paper I am going to explain how both of these can be damaging not only to you but to everyone who is involved. I’m going to talk about an event in my life that I have experienced, ways to stop invidious comparison, strategies that I personally use to avoid vicarious traumatization in my own life, and if those strategies will work to ensure that I will avoid vicarious traumatization as a human service worker, and what other strategies I could develop that would be helpful to avoid vicarious traumatization. In my lifetime I have compared myself to others so much that it has damaged my confidence, one instance that stands out to me was when I was going into Jr. high school. My family didn’t have a lot of money to buy me those nice clothes that everyone else wearing and I found myself comparing what I wore to what everyone else had. I was so hard on myself I would pretend to be sick just so I didn’t have to go to school. I got so self conscious about it that every time I heard anyone laugh or seen someone whispering I thought it was about me. I was so busy focusing on the fact that everyone had better things then I did...

This book is a compilation of various money saving tips that have been published over the years. 1. COMBINE YOUR CABLE, INTERNET AND TELEPHONE SERVICE. Companies now offer combined services that not only cost less, but offer the convenience of a single bill. Called a Triple Play Package (Cable, Internet, and Phone), these combined service deals can save you a bundle. 2. SLOW DOWN YOUR INTERNET SERVICE.

They are more efficient and will save you money in the long run. 4. REFINANCE YOU MORTGAGE. If you can reduce your interest rate by one percent or more, it is often beneficial to refinance. This is particularly true for those with high rates due to less than stellar credit scores. If your score has improved, you may qualify for a better rate. I would start by asking your current mortgage lender about lower rates. 5. GET YOUR BOOKS AND DVDS FROM THE LIBRARY. I love books and read every day. While I buy some of the books I read, most come from the library. Simply put, it’s hard to beat free. Many libraries now have movies on DVD that can be checked out. If your library offers this service,...

...Abstract This paper will discuss the importance of Price, Product, Promotion, and Place when marketing a specific product or service. I have chosen a Child Day Care Center as my service of choice. Marketing Variables There is a large consumer base for the day care industry. More than 20% of the children in the United States live in single parent households. (Smallbusinessnotes.com, 2009) In the last decade, more young mothers have a desire to work outside of the home. With this in mind, I feel that a day care center will be an excellent business venture. Pretty much everywhere you go; there is a need for this type of business. Research has proven that the most important years in a child’s development are the ages of one to six. (Smallbusinessnotes.com, 2009) The habits that children form during this critical time period will affect their ability to learn and adjust as they grow older. Parents of today are demanding pre-school education for their children that is offered by modern day care centers. Product A children’s day care center provides supervision and recreation for children of pre-school age. Day care centers are usually operated during daytime hours while the parents are at work. A good day care center will act as much more than just a babysitting service. They will provide education, recreational activities, and hot meals. Because the economy is constantly changing, I must always consider the wants and needs of consumers...

Gypsies have been harassed and persecuted throughout their history of existence, but many people don't know the Turks specifically executed gypsies during World War I, while Hitler wiped out more than 1 million during World War II. During WWII, not only were gypsies killed, they were also subject to medical experiments. Those still alive in concentration camps were often blamed for crimes committed by others. Although society has changed dramatically the history of un-fair treatment still stands as a fear to many members of the Gypsy culture. "Gypsy" derives from Egyptian, so it is mistaken that Gypsies are from Egypt or Romania. Not so. Research shows ethnic gypsies came from a group of diverse military people who gathered centuries ago in northern India to fight Muslim invaders and to resist the eastward movement of Islam. Eventually they split into smaller groups...
