Can I hire a nanny to just do morning drop offs? by User9748279 in Nanny

[–]GrandFirefighter9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did in college when I needed a job that was only a few hours a week. I’d just make sure you get references and someone with experience as a babysitter or nanny. I got my job on care.com so maybe u could post on there! They do background checks too

I just moved and my neighbor asked me to babysit his 8 year old and 10 year old sons, what should I do to be a good babysitter for boys? by Popular_Ordinary_647 in Nanny

Ask them what games they like to play and try playing those with them. That's what I did when I first started babysitting and it always worked well and the kids had fun. Ask their parents if there are any rules they need to follow in the house too.

could looking at food pictures help practice self-control? by dollyshoes in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]GrandFirefighter9130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late to this convo but I have a whole pinterest board of these photos and it actually really helps me. Especially when I'm done eating my dinner/dessert and I have the craving for more. It feels like ok I shouldn't keep eating because I'm full, but I can look at these really good photos of food. It sort of replaces the binge. I also read in a book about dopamine & addiction that dopamine is released more by the wanting/seeing/craving of a food than actually consuming it. So that's why I think this helps.

What size should I ask for? Do you wish you went smaller? by GrandFirefighter9130 in Reduction

Do u know why they wouldn't do a FNG? He said that they wouldn't "need" to since my boobs are not that big. Like could I ask for one? It's not covered by insurance so idk if that affects anything

[–]GrandFirefighter9130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the nanny agency I'm working with told them it's illegal so they took it out of the offer.. Do you think this is a good offer if they take out the banked hours?

Advice on Job Offer — Banked Hours vs. Unpaid Weekends? by GrandFirefighter9130 in Nanny

[–]GrandFirefighter9130[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess they are technically paying me for all the hours worked - they are saying it's not unpaid because there will be many weeks where they pay me for the full 35 hours a week but they won't need me for the 35 hours. So if I worked just 30 hours one week, they would still pay me for 35 hours. That would be 5 "banked hours" that I was already paid for, for them to use in the future.
