Did you know that live aquarium
plants help with algae control? Healthy live plants compete with
algae for nutrients and light, reducing the availability of resources
that algae need to thrive. This can help prevent or control excessive algae growth,
which is often undesirable in aquariums..
hi everyone welcome to my video today i'm going
to show you how to do cheap and easy water top off system for your aquariums. With this system you not
only can automatically drip your water into your tanks you can also make your water change very
easy and almost automatically. Stay tuned we're starting right now. Are you tired of manually top
off your tanks? it's not only taking your time it's also can be stressful for your shrimp.
Every
time you water evaporates from your aquarium it's increasing your TDS and when you top off
your water back to your tank it's decrease your TDS very fast and fast changing in your water
parameters can stress your shrimp. Imagine you're going on holiday for like two weeks, who are going
to look after your tanks? Who is going to top off your water, so that's create some problems for
you you need to find somebody to do that for you, instead of that you can just invest in your water
top off system which is doesn't cost very much. Okay so the question today comes from Steve
Hinrich and Steve asks – I would love to have a water top of system I live in Arizona and I
have a lot of evaporation. I have to top off the tanks at the time before doing a water
change, I'm looking forward to that video. So this video is for Steve and for all you guys
who has the same problem many of you think that autotroph system is very difficult to do or is
very expensive but today i'm going to prove it so it's very easy to do and it's not expensive at
all.
Here's what you need for you for this build: you need a floating valve which i bought on ebay,
it cost me £7 which about 9 dollars so also you need a tubing a quarter inch tubing also you need
few of these valves. One valve comes with your set so it's come like this and also would be
nice to have another two valves if you want to do a water change as well with this
system. I will show you later how to do it also you're gonna need two pumps. I
have here one usb pump and one main pump you can have two usb pumps or two main pumps
whatever pumps you have will do the job and a timer. so now i'm going to show you how to do
it on this little tank example. OK now i'm gonna show you how to install this valve, this valve
has adjustment here so you can adjust the level of the water by just uh move this float a little
bit. I can adjust the level of the water so you you fit on the edge of the tank then you connect
this little tubing, then you connect the valve and then you connect another tubing and then
on the end of this tubing you you feed the T – junction just to make this tubing split into
two tubing one for water change one for top offs then you connect one for water change and one for topoff like this.
Okay i'm going to
show you a quick hack to connect this tube to that tube yeah so you can see it's quite big yeah
and it's bigger size so all we need to do is to use the plumbing tape or you can use insulation
tape if you want, but just I prefer plumbing tape because it doesn't have adhesive and I believe
that this might not good for your shrimp so yeah you can just put a little bit of this tape on this
tube to to make it a little bit bigger diameter. okay we put this tape on this tube and
now it's gonna fit perfectly. Sorry guys this pump seems to be not working you know why
because it has some leak of water through that shutter this adjustment switch here so when
it's under pressure the water coming out through this gap so i have to change it.
So i have
another pump which is little 12 volt pump it runs with this adapter. this is just 12 volt
adapter. So we're going to change this pump. Yes okay just change the pump so this is new pump it's
for water change this usb pump is for auto top off and we have to put this pump which is for auto
top off on timer because you don't want this pump to work every time it will be just noisy and also
create some heat and also use your electricity. So you better to put it on timer and put timer
like i do like one hour in the morning and then one hour in the evening or something similar,
maybe 15 minutes four times a day something like this. so once this timer switches on the pump
starts working so what once the timer is on the pump start working and then start
dripping your water back to your tank and what is good about this this water will
be back to your tank very slowly and you can adjust it by this by just close this tap and open
this up yeah so you can make it very very slowly. and probably about 15 minutes is enough to
topping up your tank a day but just to make sure it's completely full you can put it on
half an hour a day or something like this.
Yeah okay you need to understand that the
one tube is goes to water change has to be closed otherwise the water coming from
one pump will return to another reservoir. so we're gonna change 10 percent of water weekly as normal I do so we drain some of the
water from the tank and then what we do. the next step would be to close this valve
which is for top off system and open this valve for water change system and then all
you need to do is switch on the pump like this and then your water is coming already from
different container – from your water change container which is this orange bucket for us.
yeah so you can see you can again adjust the the flow if you don't want this to be too
fast you can just dripping it very slowly here like this take some time but the the thing is
you don't need to wait you just switch it on and you can do your things and then after that after
one hour you come back and your tank is full.
All you need to do is when your tongue is full just
switch off the pump, turn on this valve and turn off this valve. Yeah i want to mention if you have
more than one tank what you need to do is just to put this t-junction and then connect this
pipe connect this valve and then go to next valve like this. imagine you have another tank
next to this tank so you just connect this tube to the next valve and you can connect as many
tanks as you want. so now i'm going to show you how this system works for my tanks so here in
the corner i have a water bucket which i feel like two days before i do water change.
I fill it up with water with a RO water and then i run the air stone and i add some salt
so the salt can mix fully and nicely and then the water can oxygenate well with an air stone before
I do the water change. As you can see in the corner I have two taps one is open right now it's
for auto top of system one is close this for water change and i have a small reservoir here with RO
water and a pump inside which is connected to my timer.
And two times a day half an hour in the
morning half an hour in the evening my tanks top off with water as you can see this tubing around
to every tank so i connected to this tank and then it goes here and then i don't know it is difficult
to show but it goes at the back, goes to this tank then goes to this tank and then it goes on the
skirting here and then to that tank as well. so this line connected to one system. i have two
pumps in this reservoir i'll show you quickly. that's one and two. Both of them 12 volt pumps.
The reason for that is one pump is for water supply for this tanks and another pump to supply
the water for these tanks on the shrimp rack and then I run the tube on the
skirting board and around the door and it's connected to the shrimp rack and i can show you inside the shrimp rack.
I already have the valve to connect my tanks to connect the floating valves and yeah
so you can see it there as well and top tanks have already floating valves
installed there as well.
Yeah just quickly show you just feeding the
shrimp mischlings from my other video and some unwanted shrimps in this tank. You can see
there's no plants here the reason for that i'm trying to catch all these little creatures called
scuds or something so they're very bad creatures I want to get rid of them but they're hiding
inside the soil cannot put the plants because they eat all the plants. And at the back of the shrimp
rack i made a loop =and then from that loop i just connect the tubing running up and down for
the tanks. you can see it on the screen right now. so you can see of two of my system
connect to one to the same reservoir and this bucket is quite small for that
now because it's designed for these tanks and once i build the new shrimp rack i
need a bigger bigger reservoir bigger bucket. so i'm going to replace it for bigger one same
as i'm going to replace this one for bigger one. okay now guys i'm gonna show you how
to do waterchange using this system.
We drained about 10-15 water from
the tanks and now all we need to do is i have a little switch here so i switch on
this switch right here and the pump starts to work and now i close this valve for RO water
and I open this valve for water change. The same I do here for shrimp rack but i'm not
changing the water in rack right now that's why I'm not gonna do it. And that's it and water start
dripping to the tanks very slowly nice and slowly. you can see it here this is what you want nice and slowly and here and
we got another tank here. so I'll leave you here to watch this and I'm
gonna watch YouTube. I will see you later okay guys we just finished changing the water.
It took about two hours you can hear the the pump is still running and almost no
water left there. so yeah that's it at this point i just switch off the pump with this
little switch i have here switching it off.
Turn off this valve and turn on this
auto top off system valve. that's it guys all done nice and easy. many of you may
be asking me why I don't use the gravity fed system? That's mean putting container above
the tanks and run the water from that container just without any pump. The simple answer
is that I don't want to put the container just below the ceiling at the top level
because I don't have the space here so imagine if I put container here on the top of the
rack that's mean I cannot put these tanks here so I rather to save space for the tanks
and have my container just below here just hidden inside this cabinet and it's nice and
tidy nobody see it.
I don't want to put it just just above the tanks in the corner in the ceiling.
Yeah it's gonna be looking very terrible so that's a simple answer. Okay guys that's it for
today! I hope this video was helpful for you. Please give it a like if you like it and subscribe

This game is.. Laski's Entertainment Center! All right, let's start moving. Oh, my gosh, this place is really weird. Now we should have a look inside. Please tell me
this isn't going to be scary. Well, let's go then. Welcome to laski's entertainment center… Here's Laski This friend also has uncomfortably
large eyes. it's Goinkes.. Next is the toy shop. It's Sherbio Ned. Here are three more. That's quite a list of families. Let's start from the right. This place is for staff only?? I'll have to find a way in. Let's go back. The music suddenly changed. Is this an arcade? There are plenty of arcade machines here.
But I can't actually play any of them. Blood? And a note?? Let's go back. Dear Daddy. Can you make my friend mia(?)
Thanks dad, from kyle Let's go this way This time. Oh. Another drawing and a note?? Let's go back. Now I'll show you how to escape the maze. Actually, it took me a long time
to escape this maze. Because the switch is here, and I thought I would never find it. I made it through the maze safely. I explored this room, but there was nothing significant. What the heck? Why is it so quiet here all of a sudden? Where am I? Let's go. That elevator. There seems to be something here, but it's pretty dark, so I can't see it Well. I took the elevator and came up to the upper floor. All right. Where am I? Maybe a workshop?? This is a weird plush.
Rollis!? What are you going? Hey, wait. It just left. Who is this? It must have busted down this door. Let's go the other way. He will save us.. I guess this is an office. There is nothing particularly hidden inside the office. This is a wonderful golden statue. I need to go to that generator. What? What is that weird red thing? NO!!! If I stare at those eyes.. I feel like I’ll die again!! It's better to ignore them and run away quickly!! Oh, that's it for the video.
Thanks for watching..
Music, there’s nothing more powerful than creating a track, but sometimes creating music can be challenging when i’m blocked or just getting an idea out. I need inspiration that’s.
Why? I trust arcade, it’s, an instrument that creates endless possibilities and arcade gives you unlimited access to everything.
Even when you’re just trying it out there’s so many ways to use arcade like any other song, you might start with a sample.
Let’s add a melody open up a note kit and you can play it like a piano Music now check out these chords, Music in sampler, kits, white keys, trigger samples and black keys mess them up now.
For my favorite part, i’m going to load in my own sound and arcade will slice and chop it, and then i can play it on top.
Ultimately, for me, it’s about being true to my sound and when i’m in the zone.
I’m pretty much unstoppable and arcade gets me there see for yourself, download, arcade and try it out for free Music, bye, Music, .
A BROKEN HEART IS ALL THAT S LEFT. I M STILL FIXING ALL THE CRACKS LOST A COUPLE OF PIECES WHEN I CARRIED IT CARRIED IT CARRIED IT HOME. I M AFRAID OF ALL I AM MY MIND FEELS LIKE A FOREIGN LAND SILENCE RINGING INSIDE MY HEAD. Please CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CARRY ME HOME. I VE SPENT ALL OF THE LOVE I SAVED. We WERE ALWAYS A LOSING GAME, SMALL TOWN BOY, IN A BIG ARCADE. I GOT ADDICTED TO A LOSING GAME. Oh OH! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh ALL. I KNOW ALL I KNOW LOVING. You IS A LOSING GAME.

There was a time when a pocket full
of change meant an amazing afternoon When entertainment was powered by pixels
and high scores created by local heroes This was the era of the arcade The golden age of videogames Our love of videogames began
with a little game named Pong and soon the overflowing cash boxes helped
pave the way for many icons of the industry Well they come as if from outer
space in a variety of weird guises, Defender, Pac-Man, Asteroids and Jumpman that plucky little plumber
who'd soon be famous by another name The years between 1978 and 83 are generally
considered the golden age of videogames It was the era of fluoro parachute
pants, Sony Walkmans and the birth of MTV when a Ferrari Testarossa was
the ultimate status symbol and the sound of synthesizers
flowed from every speaker Initially seedy bars and smoke-filled halls
housed the burgeoning videogames industry but pretty soon they needed a
true home of their own: the arcade The popularity of videogames meant that arcades
weren't just a place to check out the latest game They were the place where you'd
meet and hang out with your mates to take your date, or if your mum forced
you, your little brother or sister Yellow creature gobbles dots while
being pursued through maze by monsters In suburban Franklin Park
you'll find Midway Manufacturing feverishly turning out 350 Pac-Man games
every day in three different cabinet styles The pizza shaped protagonist of Pac-Man was
specifically designed to appeal to girls Oh my god Phoebe you're on fire!
I know! This changed the way that we viewed arcades No longer were they seedy
smoke-filled dens of iniquity They were a place for everyone
The golden age was a period of technical innovation
Driving games had steering wheels and pedals and even hydraulics that jolted
you around as you swerved or crashed on screen Vector graphics in games such as Tempest
and the classic Star Wars arcade cabinet wowed players with their crisp
lines and faux 3D art style Videogame manufacturers in the
1970s didn't have the luxury of butter smooth graphics or
giant quad core processors They were limited by the humble pixel Big blocky thing that could be seen
from the other side of the room When it came time to design typography and
lettering they had to think in terms of squares The result: an entire generation
of arcade fonts were born The most influential font
is called Atari Quiz Show and you've probably seen it thousands of times
usually in the form of "game over" Videogames fever has prompted
a number of businesses to try to cash in on that billion dollar craze
Book publishers and even movie producers are trying to make videogames pay off for them
As they became a part of popular culture videogames started appearing in movies
often when characters went to play in the arcades and by the 1980s they became central to the story typically in these films the otherwise
virtual activities within videogames became tied to real world stakes and consequences
and the development of players' game skills became connected to some type
of life or death conflict Arcades also appeared in a bunch of films at
the time such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High my name is Bond, James Bond The Karate Kid
and many more Outrun released by Sega in 1986 redefined racing
games and encapsulated the aesthetic of the 80s The game's soundtrack was one
of its most memorable features It blended 80s arcade synth with Latinesque beats and players could select tracks to race to creating a personal connection
between the player and the soundtrack Inspired by the game, French electro artist
Kavinsky named his debut album Outrun which also happens to feature a
Ferrari Testarossa on the cover Kavinsky is most known for his notable synth
pop sounds inspired by 80s arcade games His song Night Call was featured
in the Ryan Gosling vehicle Drive Director Nicolas Winding Refn is often
drawn to neon hyper-saturated visuals reminiscent of the vaporwave aesthetic The TV series Stranger Things heavily
incorporates synthpop into its audio soundscape It features the scene with Dragon's Lair, the 1983 arcade game most famous for its
graphics and eye-watering difficulty Another reimagining of the era can be seen
in the Black Mirror episode San Junipero The episode takes place in an ethereal
vaporwave interpretation of a golden era arcade We see the main character playing
games like Bubble Bobble and Pac-Man Whilst arcades reached a peak in the 90s the
exponential improvement in home videogame hardware has seen a virtual death of the arcade
at least in Western Society however places such as Akihabara in Tokyo continue
to show an ongoing fascination with the arcade with a whole city block
dedicated to capsule games, the brightest and shiniest new arcade technology While the golden age of the
arcade may have come and gone its impact and influence on videogames lives on

Hey, in this video, I’m going to tell you
how to avoid rug pulls in crypto! Have you or your friends ever been “rug-pulled”? Have you ever come across an enticing crypto
project that offered otherworldly returns, only to eventually find out hat it was a scam
all along? As cryptocurrencies become more and more popular,
there’s an ever-increasing number of rug pulls happening, as well. This is why it’s super-important to be able
to spot a potential rug pull before it happens, so that you wouldn’t lose out on your entire
investment! Welcome you to Crypto Finally Explained – the
most crypto-friendly educational YouTube channel for *actually* learning crypto! Here, I finally explain crypto topics using
simple animations, visual doodles, and real-life examples, so no matter if you’re five, or
seventy-five, you’ll be able to understand it! In this video, we’re going to cover rug
pulls.
Specifically, I’ll tell you how you can
spot a potential rug pull, and what measures you can take to avoid it! Let’s get to it! 1. What is a rug pull? If you’re new to rug pulls, in general,
and haven’t got the slightest clue of what they are, you should stop everything you’re
doing now, and go watch my dedicated video on the topic. I won’t go in-depth on what a rug pull is
here, since this video is meant to serve as a continuation to that other one I’ve just
mentioned.
To keep it short, a rug pull is a type of
a crypto scam. Rug pulls happen when project developers or
owners run away with the investors’ funds – in other words, investors get “the rug
swept out from under their feet”. That’s where the term came from! As I’ve already told you a minute ago, with
crypto becoming more and more popular, there’s a surge in rug-pulling activities, as well. Never before has it been so crucial to learn
to protect yourself from the various scams floating around the internet! This is even more so true when you consider
the fact that there are multiple different rug pulling techniques that these scammers
employ.
Don’t worry, though – no matter how many
different ways they might come up with scamming investors, the methods of how to spot and
avoid a potential rug pull always remain the same. 2. How to spot and avoid a potential rug pull? Continuing on with the video, let’s take
a look at 5 of the most common signs that a project could be a potential rug pull in
the making.
If you notice any of these signs, you should
be cautious – if you notice all of them, well… Haha, I don’t think I even need to say it
out loud! Do keep in mind that just as these signs could
signal a potential crypto project rug pull in the making, the same is true for NFT projects,
as well.
Many of these same signs should be examined
and looked into, when you’re trying to find out how to avoid an NFT rug pull. 2.1 General outlook / social authority So, for starters, when you’re looking into
a crypto project, you should first examine the project from afar. What I mean by that is how do they do their
marketing? Is there a legitimate community that believes
in the project and its purpose? Or are mainstream celebrities and high-profile
YouTubers talking about it? Most legitimate projects aren’t going to
do sponsored videos from YouTubers, or social media posts from celebrities. That’s because they know that a) it looks
fishy, and b) neither those celebrities, nor the YouTubers likely know anything about crypto,
or at least the project that they would be promoting. As you can imagine, in this scenario, the
whole entire ordeal would come off as rather disingenuous! Solid and well-designed projects don’t tend
to go out of their way, and search for non-related, high-profile names to promote them. Instead, all of the marketing is done by the
actual company or team behind the project, and the community that they’ve managed to
attract.
So, in short, the very first sign that a project
might be a potential rug pull is if you notice that there are suddenly a lot of high-profile
people, who would otherwise have nothing to do with crypto, talking about a specific new
coin or token. I have to say, though, this can get tricky,
since sometimes, the actual influencer are the bad guys. If you want an example of what an alleged
rug pull looks like, one of the most recent high-profile cases would be that of the streamer
Ice Poseidon, and the CxCoin. Paul Denino – better known online as Ice Poseidon
– had created and advertised a platform for content creators, where they could get paid
in cryptocurrencies. Then, after investments started flocking in,
he took almost all of the money out of the project, and appears to be quite shameless
about it! This just goes to show that even online stars
themselves can allegedly rug their fans. Thus, you should be very cautious! 2.2 Liquidity The second sign that you should look out for,
if you want to avoid rug pulls, has to do with project liquidity.
It’s a whole huge topic, but what you need
to know for now is that a project’s liquidity can definitely tell you a lot, in terms of
a potential rug pull! If you check out the liquidity of some sort
of a new project (or, token), and see that it’s very low, that’s already a red flag. Projects that have liquidity up to around
$100k are often seen as being very easy to manipulate! Think about it yourself – if there are only
a few thousand dollars worth of tokens in the liquidity pool, the project owners could
simply deposit $1000 into the pool, which would artificially increase the price of the
token significantly! Put simply, if a project has low liquidity,
it means two things – that the team behind the project haven’t invested a lot of their
own money into it, and that the price of the token behind the project is very easy to manipulate.
This actually leads us to the second part
of this liquidity-related sign of how to spot a rug pull – locked liquidity. What this term essentially means is that the
team behind a token has locked the liquidity of their project, for a specific period of
time, and they won’t be able to access it. This is a good thing! If developers or project owners lock liquidity,
there's a much smaller chance that they’ll rug pull the project, since it becomes much
more difficult to do. Of course, there are still ways how scammers
are able to do their scamming, but it’s still a point of reassurance! Note, however, that the liquidity should be
locked for a longer period of time.
If it’s locked for a month or even a year,
well… That’s nothing, really! It’s as if a thief would come to you, and
say – hey, don’t worry, I won’t steal your money… For a month. After that, well – we’ll see, haha! Of course, do keep in mind that not all situations
are the same – unlocked liquidity isn’t an immediate sign that a project is a rug
pull, since there are many variables to keep in mind, and many different projects with
different goals and mechanics. That being said, if you see that a project
hasn’t got locked liquidity, you should be very careful! By the way, if you’d like to learn more
about liquidity – what that is, how it works, and so on -, you can check out my dedicated
video on the topic! Also, if you’re enjoying the video so far,
make sure to press that subscribe button, and give this video a like! 2.3 Token allocation The third major thing to look into is token
allocation.
In other words, you need to check out how
many tokens are held in a few of the top wallets (also known as whales). Thankfully, that’s super-simple to do! There are special services called blockchain
explorers. The two most popular ones are Etherscan and
BscScan – on them, you can enter the smart contract address of any project built on the
Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain networks, respectively, and check a list of wallets
holding the most project tokens. If you see that the top 10 wallets hold over
15% or 20% of all of the available tokens, this is a tell-tale sign to stay away from
that project! What could happen is the whale wallets could
decide to dump all of their tokens into the market, thus crashing the price of the token
in a matter of minutes. Checking project token allocation is completely
free to do, and typically takes only a few minutes. Make sure to do so with all projects that
you are planning to invest in! After all, it’s one of the simplest ways
of how to spot a rug pull.
2.4 Check the project Whitepaper – Roadmap Number four has to do with the Whitepaper
of the project. Imagine a friend came to you, and told you
about “this amazing new company” that he invested money into, and he suggested you
do the same. Well, before going out there and putting your
money into that company, you would probably try to do some research on what it is that
they do! Part of your research would surely include
looking into the company’s mission statement, its roadmap, and so on.
Well, cryptocurrency projects are the same! If you want to avoid getting rugged, checking
out the project’s Whitepaper or its roadmap is essential! Many rug pulls in the making don’t have
solid Whitepapers. Instead, they are filled with random crypto
buzzwords, and are usually very short. If you read through the Whitepaper, and come
out understanding less than you did before checking it out, that’s a clear sign to
stay away from the project! Whitepapers are also a great way to get to
know what the project is all about. A good rule of thumb for you to follow is
this – if the Whitepaper looks like a sales pitch, and appeals to your emotions (in other
words, desperately tries to sell you something), it shouldn’t be taken seriously, at all. 2.5 “I’ve seen this before” Now, the fifth and final method of how to
avoid a crypto rug pull is something I like to call “I’ve seen this before…”.
You should imagine me saying this with a really
suspicious expression on my face, hahaha. So basically, it’s pretty simple – if you
feel like you’ve seen this exact project model a few times already, you might be getting
rugged. That’s because most scammers don’t bother
with creating a new and enticing project – instead, they simply copy-paste the code from another
project, and only change a few variables, such as the name of the token. This is true both with the way that the project
is presented, as well as the code behind it. If you know what you’re doing, and where
to look, you could basically “create” (or, copy, haha) a “new” cryptocurrency
project in a matter of hours, if not minutes.
That sounds very dangerous, if you’re an
investor. However, it’s also a good thing, since it
makes picking and choosing the right crypto project for yourself much simpler! If you feel like you’ve already read that
Whitepaper a few times before, or have seen this exact same marketing gimmick again and
again, you should probably avoid investing in the project, since it might end up being
a rug pull. 3. Thanks for watching There are various other ways how you can spot
and avoid rug pulls, but I’ve told you about five of the most common and notable methods. If you spot any of these within a project,
or are simply feeling that something isn’t quite right, you should avoid investing your
money into it – this will potentially save you from a huge headache in the long run! Thanks for watching my video – I hope that
you’ve enjoyed it, and learned a lot! More so, I really hope to see you in my next

A CHILDCARE-DAYCARE GUIDE 1 CHILDCARE INTRODUCTION This book was created both as a childcare
guide for parents and as a job guide for people looking for childcare, au pair, babysitting
and nanny jobs. The information and resources apply to both
groups. National Association of Family Child Care

naeyc.org Chapter 1. Childcare Guide Childcare Options/ Daycare Ideas In general, before you hire someone to care
for your child/ children, talk/ interview them face to face or over the phone to get
a feel for: Essence, what type of person they are. Does she have a nurturing spirit? Experience with children in general. Education in life and in dealing with children
including first-aid and safety courses. Enthusiasm about life and children. The basic childcare options are: Au Pair. an Au Pair is generally a young girl from
a foreign country with basic scant childcare education who works as a nanny of sorts but
it's understood that she's just doing this as a temporary waystation on the road of life
not as a career, partially to learn about a new culture while earning some money.
Foreign Au Pairs who enter United States get
a J-Visa which allows them to stay and work for 13 months. They live with the host family, get room and
board and a modest pay cheque. Generally, they don't work more than 45 hours
a week. Baby nurse. A baby nurse is a licensed nurse in any of
the several categories with a pediatric background. She has been trained to care for newborns,
knows emergency medical procedures and teaches parents how to take care
of the child. They don't do housework. Babysitter. A babysitter could be a friend, relative or
person you hire in your area to watch your kids here and there when and as required,
sometimes while you work, sometimes while you go out at night. If your church has a bulletin board, put a
help wanted sign there or network with your religious friends to find a good teenage girl
or boy to babysit for you. Put up an ad on a bulletin board at your local
college, preferably either at the nursing school or religious studies school. Babysitting co-op. This is where you and several other local
parents who have babies take turns helping each other by babysitting for each other.
Doula. A doula helps both the mother and baby adjust
to normal life after childbirth. She's part nurse, part teacher, part housekeeper
and part friend. Governess. A governess generally has a degree from college
which puts her one step above a nanny. Governesses are generally hired by a family
for the full or part-time education of children at home, a form of home schooling some wealthy
families prefer to use rather than private or public school. She gets more pay than a nanny.
Housekeeper. A housekeeper does housework, she's not specifically
responsible for the children except to clean and cook meals. Nanny, either live-in or live-out person who
works fulltime with only the domestic tasks of raising children, not responsible specifically
for education. It's wise to ask a nanny if she's been inoculated
for the basic diseases like TB and polio and if not, ask her to get them done or pay for
it yourself. If you work with several or more women raising
children, you might be able to convince your boss to set up an onsite daycare center. For information about state laws and regulations
and complaints regarding child care, contact your state department of health and human
services which should have a child care office in it or contact your state social services
department. If you're a low income working mother, you
might qualify for financial aid to help with daycare or there might be such a daycare center
in your community run by the government for low income and/ or single working parents. If you live near a college or university,
check to see if they have an onsite daycare service or a preschool program open to the
public or students.
It's easy to register as a student. Local government, service clubs, disability
organizations, churches and private donors may provide daycare, subsidies or scholarships. Childcare Protocols/ Set Specific Rules Don't be too casual with the caregiver. Set
specific rules. It's best to write them out and
give them to her so she knows what's expected like a meal every four hours, one hour of
fresh air, afternoon nap, rules for cleaning the
child (some parents don't want the caregiver to
bathe or shower the child), an hour playing with
the child, limits on watching TV, laundry and
housekeeping duties, safety rules, don't leave the child unattended, don't use the phone
for more than a five minute call per hour, etc. Be fair with your worker especially if she's
good because it's hard to find good help. Don't
make her work past her 40 hours a week then not pay her for it. Pay time and a half because it's overtime. If
she's good and spends more than six months with you, start giving her a week paid vacation
every five months or so.
People are human so they need time to check
each other out to get comfortable with each other. Allow for a slightly awkward adjustment
period. After all, you're inviting her into your
private life and she's a bit nervous about imposing on this family she barely knows. Give her privacy, respect and don't try to
suck all the work you can out her. Be reasonable and
the atmosphere will be a lot better. If you're
too critical, most will quit in short order. Don't be soft with your caregiver. She has to
earn your respect. If she's a lagger who just
likes to watch TV, you don't have to keep her. Get somebody else. Don't accept chronic lateness, poor hygiene,
anti-social behavior, someone too introverted who doesn't say much, someone who invades
your space, an aggressive personality, jealousy (parent and caregiver compete for child's
affection) and theft.
Don't let a caregiver start to moralize to
you that you're not a good enough parent who
doesn't spend enough time with your kids. Beware of a situation where the babysitter
likes the kids but doesn't like you. If your nanny lives in your house for longer
than six months, give her a phone for her room. Let her friends come over and visit once in
awhile. As the nanny, don't let the parents push you
to teach the child things that are well above
his ability. As a nanny, don't take abuse from a bratty
kid. You might have to buy medical insurance for
your caregiver and if she drives your car, you
might have to buy extra insurance for her. Always have a back-up caregiver ready in case
this one skips on you. Some people don't feel comfortable with a
live- in nanny or even one that comes into their
house eight hours a day.
They feel their privacy
is violated. In that case, either find a good
daycare center, nursery school or babysitter where you can drop the child off with them. This latter concept is called family home
care, where the child is taken care of in someone
else's private home, possibly with other kids around which is a good family atmosphere. Some alternatives to childcare are: Start a co-op with several other families
where you each take turns watching each other's
kids. If you work for a big company, there might
be an onsite childcare service at the site or
you could start one. Change your work situation to do some of the
work at home often called telecommuting. If you can't find a good caregiver, contact
your local YMCA or church group. Summer camp is a good way to catch a break
from the kids. Some schools have after-school programs
where the children stay in a daycare like room
until six o'clock or so playing with toys, working
on computers, reading books, etc.
So that the
parents can pick them up there. The IRS now has a $5000 dependent care tax
credit. Ask your accountant about it or call the
IRS for information about the Nanny Tax Bill, irs.gov, 800-tax-form. Child Security Guide The media has had a field day exposing abusive
childcare workers by catching them on hidden cameras. If your child is not old enough to
speak yet, be especially wary of the caregiver you pick. In order to protect yourself from unscrupulous
childcare workers who will act all good when you're around but ignore and otherwise abuse
the children when you're not around: Either hire someone you know. Hire a Christian. Hire from a reputable agency that does
background checks. Chapter 2. Some Babysitters/ Nannies are Good, Some are
Bad Keep an Eye on the Caregiver The best way to check out a nanny is with
a hidden camcorder or internet webcam. Anybody can act phony good up front. The true test is when they're alone with the
child. If the child starts to act weird, withdrawn,
watch out. Many horror stories have been caught on tape. Make unannounced visits from time to time. Hook up a visible web cam where the baby's
crib is where you can check it any time over the
internet.
Try to do some of your work at home here and
there so you're around the house and can check out what the nanny's daily routine is with
the kids. One case I saw on TV was this chubby middle-aged
woman who became the caregiver of this couple's baby. She had a great manner with the couple face
to face but as soon as they left, she abused and ignored the baby who couldn't speak for
himself. The mother got suspicious when she noticed
her baby flinch and turn away whenever she moved towards him with her hands to feed him,
pick him up, etc. This was because the worker was slapping the
baby around. They put a hidden camera in and caught several
instances of abuse. The worker was charged criminally but in the
end didn't get any prison time, just probation so it goes to show that the authorities don't
seem to take child abuse by childcare workers all that
seriously. Based on a TV show I saw about a guy who's
business was to install hidden cameras in the homes of people who had babysitters, you're
generally better off hiring somebody you know like a neighbor, friend or relative.
If you hire professional help, that is somebody
you don't know, be wary that anyone can put on a good front. Look over your child's body from time to time
for signs of abuse. Monitor his behavior to see
if it changes. an abused child usually goes
from happy and easygoing to sad and scared. If the child is getting sexual, he could be
getting sexually abused by the caregiver. If the child
gets sick a lot, it could be a psychosomatic disorder caused by the stress from the caregiver. Beyond using a hidden camera, you can tell
if your child is being abused if he or she gets nervous just before you're about to leave
and the babysitter about to come in and comes running to you very quickly when you come
home to get away from the babysitter. Your babysitter will rummage through your
house and important papers partially to be nosey and partially looking for small valuables
to steal.
This guy said at least half of all babysitters
he did surveillance on did something wrong. Your best bet is to ask for references and
call all the references the babysitter gives you to see what people say about her. Ask Questions/ Do an Interview Interview the person, get a feel for them. Don't hire them if you sense anger, anti-social
tendencies, too casual an attitude, etc. Questions to ask when hiring a nanny or
considering a daycare center: Why do you want to be a nanny? Tell me about your home. What would you do if the child doesn't want
to eat; cries; acts violent? Are you trained in first aid and CPR? Do you do housework? What are your rates? Are you flexible with respect to hours? Do you have references? How would you handle a sick child? What are your discipline methods? How do you handle a temper tantrum? What experience do you have with children? How do you think a child should be raised? What do you like to do in your spare time? What kind of relationship do you want with
our family? Do you smoke? How were you raised? Can you drive? What is a typical day? Do you play outdoors? What about licensing? Is there a fire safety plan? What about safety? Even after you hire them, if you have a baby
who can't talk, there's no accountability unless
you put a hidden camera in the main room to watch the interaction when they're alone not
aware they're being filmed.

Places to Hire Daycare Service Butler Info If you're in pretty good shape, you don't
need a medical homecare worker. Hire a personal assistant instead. If there are no butlers or personal assistants
around in your neck of the woods, contact a homecare company and hire one of their homecare
workers to help you around the house. butlerintl.com, butler international. butlersguild.com

877-770-2273 Daycare Info Despite all the bad press about daycare, most
are pretty good but the bottom line is that you're
shopping for a service and just like with anything, you have to compare and check things
out. Once you hire the service, don't leave it
at that. There are licensing procedures in many areas
and some daycares have webcams where you can look in anytime over the internet. Stay constantly vigilant about the performance
of your caregiver. The best way is to drop in
unannounced from time to time. It's your right. In my opinion, the best daycares are the ones
with structured programs that actually try to
teach the children something rather than just playing with them then feeding them and giving
them naps.
The bottom line is that you have to feel them
out to find someone that really cares about your child. The general research says that it's bad to
put any child under three into any kind of fulltime
alternative care because the child will bond with
that caregiver and not you, the parent. After three is alright but you have to develop
the mother child bond first. Daycare is good for
children because it helps make them independent and socialize with other kids. Some kids really like it because it's a fun
place with toys and new friends whereas others are
more shy and solitary and don't really go for it. You, as a parent, must decide what's best.
If your child has poor health, be wary that
daycares could be breeding grounds for viruses, hepatitis, etc. because of all the other kids
around that could be sick or carrying viruses. The Federal Intra-Agency Daycare
Requirements list a number of standards a daycare center should abide by but the only
true test is gut instinct and common sense. Check a place out for safety, child-provider
ratio and all around character. If it feels right,
try it for a while and drop in unannounced every
few days to see what's really going on. Try to
become friends with your caregiver. Some YMCAs have daycare facilities: ymca.net

babysitting at #362.712 or HQ778.6 and HV861 at your library. Doula Info A doula helps the mother with rearing a newborn
baby for about the first year after birth. Doulas technically don't actually do the birthing
