I think a vocational skill in customer service would go down well.Not to mention being able to present yourself. Good morning, how can I help you? Our young people ane woefully lacking in personal skills. Texting/ facebook messaging is not the same.
There is a big difference between after school care- 3.30 to 7pm say ( Maybe ?10 an hour) and babysitting ?7-?9 an hour - the latter being when child is hopefully asleep. Warning the 3.30 plus slot is harde to fill.Better off with au pair if you can fit one in.
Has anyone an idea as to how a good cv looks? I think mine is dated, especially since I am starting a new career-as a TEFL teacher. Limited experiecne but 25 years working in a business profession before that. Does everyone put a photo at the top of theirs? My first attempt has not opened any doors- so welcome any POSITIVE suggestions. Many thanks
I htink it depends how much reserve funds you have. Its true there is very little well paid work out there. Always easier to get a job when you have a job already. Can you take some holiday instead? I think you need to factor in at least 3 months of not working. Pretty unlikely to earn as much as you do now- assuming you have not had to take a pay cut already- you might be looking at a 25-35% pay cut.
I think he is overrated myself. Yes he had an eye/ empathy- but if he had not been paid by the word his books would be the better for it. There- I've said it- BBC's radio coverage of it is OTT.
My mum and Dad always did - I think its nice to come down -in the summer anyway- and have the sun coming in through the windows. I think I was thinking a burglar would be seen from outside by a passing policeman- ( with his swag bag over his shoulder and torch)and if you look through our window- you would not think " wow" worth breaking into- but what do I know?
So yes, lights off, tv off, doors locked- do you open the living room curtains or keep them closed? Bit of a battle going on here. What is better for security? Views welcome.
My brother fell down the stairs when he was 1.5yrs and it was not good. I would try to get one at the top if you can. Its not just your children its visiting ones too.
Maybe this will have a silver lining as you see them often enough you will be able to ask if you can leave your daughter with them when you go away to celebrate your wedding anniversary- we all know how important these occasions are and how much we all like to mark them - albeit in different ways....;-)
