...Great babysitters make a difference The dynamics of babysitting have certainly changed over the last decade. There was a time when extended family who were happy to lend a hand probably surrounded you. You knew who your neighbors were and trusted them. You perhaps even had a social circle of friends who might be up for the task of childcare. Many times now this is not the case. You may have a few recommendations from others, but you are meeting and hiring someone to care for your child. It requires time and effort to make sure you leave your child in warm and capable hands. To hire it’s always a good idea to advertise You can put ads in your local newspaper, high school, civic newsletters, and perhaps your workplace...

...I plan to do my research on the babysitting community, specifically being a nanny. Being a nanny is a very great responsibility and it requires lots of time and being able to care for the child at all times. By becoming a nanny not only do you help the children but you also show them a great role model figure that they can look up to. Sometimes children don't have great role model figures to look up to so it's important that you show the children that you can care for them and be an inspiration to them. As a member of this community I believe that you need to be a very caring person to fulfil the needs of the children and their parents. I question how the other nannies are when they are around the children. Its very easy to become a nanny, there are many different places you can go to become one. There are multiple websites you can go on to sign up such as care.com, or the parents just hire you because you are a relative or neighbor. It is also very important to CPR certified and trained in first aide in case of any emergency that happens. Its very difficult being a nanny sometimes because a lot of the time the children will think since their parents are gone they can get rowdy around strangers and have them do things they are usually not allowed to do. Because I know I am a nanny in the babysitting community I wonder about why children behave so erratic when their parents are gone and what aggravates them to do so. Therefore the purpose of this study is to focus on the children's...

...Why I Want To Become A Teacher In this paper, I will discuss the reasons why I want to become a teacher. I will address the extrinsic and intrinsic motivations behind my decision. I will also discuss the community impact, my calling or vocation, commitment to students, impact on family, and role modeling. There are approximately 1.5 million Elementary teachers in the United States (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009). Why did all of these decide to become teacher's? Some choose this path because of the summer's off and the time they have to spend with their own children and families. Some choose it because of the challenge, everyday is different and presents new things. Some choose it because they love children and want to make a difference in someone's life (Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 2010). I chose to become a teacher for many different reasons. First is the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, or the reward received and the what is enjoyable about this career. Both for me is seeing the success of the student's. Watching their progression from day one to the last day. Seeing them grow and mature as individuals and seeing their untapped abilities being released. These are my main motivation and what is enjoyable to me about this career. Second is the community impact. I am currently an active member of the Make-A-Wish organization for the Northwest region. I am a wish granter for the organization and specifically work with local families. My involvement...

...all the output of the economy nationwide, where the gross national product (GDP) measures the value of that economy. Though not all economy inputs are considered in the GDP measurement, and then arises the question of the uncertainty or shortcomings of the national income account. I remember when I first came in the United States my householder does not have laundry machines; the household wash their clothes themselves so I do, we cannot afford a Laundromat for every dirty cloth. I understand now such input does not affect the GDP, our action is simply ignores by the nation because there is no payment burden by the state tax. Still our household complained about the water bill in the house, consequently we pay tax anyway. Similarly some activities such as drug trade and babysitting are not considered in calculating the national income. Recalling the household above, the householder’s wife babysits children that their parents bring into the house and pay her directly. I heard that the lady was trying to get a babysitting license, which means she was operating and the nation does not know. Other non-marketed activities such as services from person to person and prostitution do not include in the GDP. I think some activities out of our standard of living that the nation does not rely on, their use might encounter some inaccuracies and defect the national income account. We will not accurately measure black market activities and inflation which is always adjusted for some reasons...

...I seriously just cannot deal with him being here, Abram. I don’t love him like I thought I did and while you do hold some of the reason for why I came to this conclusion, you aren’t the only thing. I tried really hard to just forget about things that have happened with us, which was super stupid, and even when I entirely placed them to the side, I don’t love him like I thought I did. You’ve showed me something entirely new. You are the FIRST guy that I have actually had access too that isn’t abusive. You’ve shown me that “Hey, guess what? There are super nice guys out there. There is someone out there that can help you.” I now understand why so many people just say no to LDR’s. I cannot deal with this. And it isn’t just the distance, it’s him. He’s not a bad guy or anything, but our personalities just don’t mesh very well. I don’t feel comfortable around him at all, I constantly feel like I am a host and that I’m required to take care of his every need at all times disregarding my own wants and needs for him. While I said that for you I place your wants and needs above mine, that’s true, but I don’t do it ALL the time. I really love you, but you don’t make me feel like I need to sacrifice most things, but with him, there’s no escaping him and how he is currently making me feel. I know he doesn’t mean too, but I feel like I am just babysitting him. I don’t know what to do Abram. He’s here for six weeks and you’re elaving TOMORROW. Do you understand this. I don’t know what in the...

...moral. Something that is moral is the correct thing to do, though we are not always forced to do it by law. We have rights, which we get from laws, and we also have responsibilities. Responsibilities can be legal (for example, to pay taxes and obey other laws) or they can be moral. Something that is moral is the correct thing to do, though we are not always forced to do it by law. Task: Using the website provided complete a presentation on what the legal rights in the UK. www.childline.org.uk/explore/crimelaw/pages/rights.aspx (Legal rights referring to work, babysitting, alcohol, crime and law; leaving home; joining the army; gambling; travel etc) 10-13 Year old: You can drink alcohol at home if your parent, carer or another adult is there with you. 14 Year old: You can go to a pub which has a children's certificate, but you can't buy or drink alcohol. 16 Year old: You can drink wine, beer or cider with a meal in a restaurant. 18 Year old: You can buy alcohol but remember it is against the law to buy alcohol for anyone under the age of 18. Are these fair? What legal rights would you like to see introduced and why? I think that these age requirements are quite fair because it been set up in a certain way due to all the crimes that have happened when these laws weren’t around, so the government has decided to come up with these laws to prevent as much crime as possible. If was to chose a legal right I would say that kids under the age of 10 years shouldn’t...

...There are many significant experiences that I have had within my school that have impacted who I am and who I plan to be, but the activity that has affected me the most is the Buddy Program. The program has given me a new perspective on my future and where I will invest my skills and attributes. I have a few years before I have to decide what I’m doing with the rest of my life, but this has definitely set me in a certain direction. The Buddy Program is an arrangement where students from the high school are partnered up with a student or students from the elementary school to help strengthen the younger students’ classroom etiquette, boost their learning, and mainly practice and increase their social skills. The program was started last school year and took place during the elementary school’s recess. This year it takes place during one of their classes, which benefits the teacher to by giving them a helping hand. The high school students involved are selected...

...anything that people do and read can have an impact on them. Short stories generally do not have a very long time to make an extraordinary first impression on the readers. Sarah Ellis brings flavour and depth to her story The Tunnel by grabbing the attention of the readers. Authors often use literary devices to enhance their short story. First writers use imagery to make the reader’s visualize images in their minds. Secondly they use irony to emphasize a central idea about the story. Lastly they use symbolism to add profundity and meaning to a story. To begin, when the readers cross paths with imagery it makes the story that much more interesting. Kenton is babysitting a little girl named Ib who makes him play with barbies. Kenton suggest to get out of the house and go on a mission and...

...COM 150 Abuse! There are always people that want to know what is it, and why do they do it? Why do all these women stay in that kind of home, and what are the effects on them when this happens? How do the children deal with this kind of situation, and what effects does it have on them? One of the most important questions you would most likely hear is how do you leave an abusive relationship and how do you cope with it after you do leave? “Domestic Violence affects ___ in every ___ families. In the past, victims of domestic violence were silenced. Their pleas for help fell on deaf ears, as our society continued to look the other way. These are new times that we live in, where victims of all ages, genders, and ethnicities have a stronger voice. We will no longer deny them the voices with which they will speak out to heal themselves, and strengthen others." First, abuse can happen to anyone. What is abuse? Abuse occurs when one partner uses different types of abusive behaviors to gain control or power of the other. Abuse is described as many things like, physical, emotional, sexual, or it can even just be a threat. Domestic violence in our society has grown a tremendous amount. Women that are being abused usually do not see themselves as a victim, and that also goes for the abuser (Domesticviolence.org). Warning signs are very important. An abusive man will show signs of extreme jealousy, and have a very poor self-image. Victims are more than likely to be dependent on their...

...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. I went to the slower internet service option with my cable company and saved $15 per month. And I haven’t noticed a difference when surfing the Net. 3. CONVERT TO A GAS WATER HEATER. 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, it sure beats paying Blockbuster or Netflix. 6. DON’T PAY INTEREST ON CREDIT CARDS. This is obvious, but I soon as you fail to pay off the credit card in full, the high interest payments start to eat away at your monthly budget. If the temptation to spend more than you can pay on a credit card is to great, get rid of the credit card (and ignore the previous...

...bother us or make us angry, but in reality, it is quite difficult at our ages to actually be successful in doing so. Of course, there are always exceptions. However, it is difficult because nowadays, with our limited experience and education one cannot really do much. Other than retail jobs or restaurant jobs, etc… I looked for about an hour and a half for a job in this simulation. I checked several different websites but could not find anything. Looking at my resume and experience, I began to alter my job search from retail jobs to something more like being a Nanny. The only experience I have ever had job wise was babysitting. So a lot of the jobs I was looking for in either retail or desk jobs were out my area of expertise. Therefore, I chose a nice full time nanny job, 11 miles from my residence, with better than minimum wage pay. It works out perfectly because I love kids and it seems that my whole life I have been surrounded by them. I am being offered $14 per hour for a Monday-Friday schedule. Calculated out, I would make $560 a week. This then allowed me to search for a place to live. Making $2062.67 with taxes already subtracted, I was able to find a quaint studio in Tustin. The whole house was for rent so that means I wouldn’t have to rent-a-room and live with strangers. That stood out to me boldly, as well as the fact that it was only $900 a month. The rent also included Cable, Internet access, Laundry, and Parking. The biggest challenge in finding an affordable place to...

...National Junior Honor Society Application Essay Scholarship I believe that I have demonstrated scholarship throughout the experience that I have had so far at Carmel Middle School. Every quarter last year and this year, I have earned a 4.0 GPA. Doing my best in school is important to me because learning is a huge part in life and it is the beginning of the path to getting good jobs. If you do not learn then you would never grow and expand your mind. Getting good grades is also important to me because it gives me a sense of accomplishment and it is reflects my hard work. Participation and Leadership I take part in many school and community activities. At school I am a member of multiple clubs such as Next Steps Bible Club, CRU Bible Study, choir, track, and I was a member of the seventh grade volleyball team. Some of the other co-curricular activities that I enjoy participating in outside of school are guitar lessons, babysitting and confirmation through my church. One of the things that I am proud of is when I did the annual lemonade stand day. I was interviewed about the entrepreneurial lessons learned that I had learned from doing lemonade stands, and that interview was put in the paper. Also, in Carmel Dad’s Club Basketball I...

...my everyday life. Whether I am making decisions at the workplace or just on what I want to eat, it is all a decision and are brains need to process these decisions we make. I think it is very important to use your brain and think before a decision is made. Most people just speak or act without thinking of the consequences, and this is when making decisions can be hard. Even living at college, balancing 2 nanny jobs, and school allows me to make decisions whether I like them or not. An experience that I have used decision making in is when I nanny and how I got my nanny jobs. There were many decisions I had to make. I had to make sure the family was flexible with time (seeing I’m in school), was the right fit for me, and I was the right fit for them. Pay was also a hard decision I had to make. I have been a nanny for the 3 years I have been at school here at SNHU and I enjoy it thoroughly but I am constantly making decisions when it comes to babysitting. The Rational Model proposes that managers use a rational, four-step sequence when making decisions. You need to “1. I identify the problem, 2. Generate alternative solutions, 3. Select a solution, and 4. Implement and evaluate the solution you chose.” This rational model describes the way I chose my nannying jobs and how I picked the best ones that fit me. I identified the problem, which was having no money while at school. I then generated solutions such as getting a nanny job or waitressing. I then put out applications...
