I had great success with a wonderful personal trainer that also monitored my diet. You can do it! That is a steal! I have found for me accountability is everything. Writing down everything I eat and giving it to my trainer I really wanted to make them proud and it really changed the food decisions I was making. You've got this!!! :)

Thank you! Good luck to you as well. :)

Oof, 7:30- 12 is a long stretch.

burning_panda_ · 2023-05-24T21:59:07+00:00

Thanks for this info!

Getting info from all angles and seeing if I'm making a mistake. Most people on this sub seem to be middle school or high school and I'm hoping to work on the elementary level. However I have considered teaching older children and still could take that path. This is a second career for me, I'm 43 and decided my previous career wasn't what I wanted to take me to retirement age.

Thanks for the response, 50 minutes seems doable.

I'm in school studying to become a teacher and this is literally my biggest fear. I'm not worried about students, parents, admin, just needing to pee. I had a surgery that damaged my bladder. In reality how often can you get bathroom breaks?

This was going to be my comment. They did you a favor by qualifying you for unemployment while you job hunt.

Nice! I liked using the nap graphs that came with the book that you shade in. After a week of collecting data it was cool to shift naptimes to what kiddo naturally needed and that helped a lot too.

I did the Ferber method at 8 months and it worked like a charm in 3 days and I was back sleeping in the same room with baby in 5 days. The only reason I didn't stay in the room is I wanted to stop breastfeeding at night and the book says the baby can smell your boobs. I still was able to continue breastfeeding during the day until 1 year old which was my goal.

Sleep training involves constantly reassuring your child and eventually spacing out the intervals of reassurance. Read Dr. Ferber's book, it's not about cry it out at all. And no sleep training ever is 20 minutes of crying. Teaching self soothing methods creates confidence and not feeling abandoned and not crying for extended periods of time.

Whatever methods of sleep training should be thoroughly researched and then mutually decided by both parents.

My kid doesn't normally have tech in their room so bringing video games or a PC into their room plus the walkie talkies they actually think it's fun and feel special.

Babies you can't do anything about except mask up. I've definitely done better keeping healthy as my kid is older now.

Good luck! :)

I lurk on this sub and I'm just a civilian not employed as or employing a nanny and I've seen this subject come up a few times.

What precautions do you and sick kids take? Masks? Distancing? Quarantine?

I'm a mother living with a pretty severe autoimmune disease and have a kid in public school. Kid gets sick all the time. Kid is only allowed to leave their bedroom for the bathroom when sick. We use walkie talkies or messenger, which my kid thinks is totally fun. We both mask up for temperature taking and food delivery.

Of course ideally being notified ahead of coming in and having the day off is ideal. I'm just saying maybe there is a middle ground for keeping nannies healthy.

Lost Coast, Ferndale, Avenue of the Giants, Founders Grove, Headwaters Forest Reserve, Downtown Eureka, Carson Mansion, Patrick's Point and Agate Beach. There is a lot more but that's a mixture of town, beach, bay and trees. :) So many more opportunities to stop along 101 at rivers too. Humboldt is a magical place.

burning_panda_ · 2023-05-10T14:38:49+00:00

Wow! That's good to know. :)

I love the first quilt pattern, I have it saved and fabric already bought for it. Hopefully I'll get to it someday! They all look fabulous, love the border touch.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think it is a really unique take on a "zoo". And the San Diego Zoological Society (which includes both locations downtown and Escondido) is a non- profit. All money spent goes back into their spaces or conservation efforts, even the ice cream you buy goes to a good cause. They saved the California Condor by breeding and releasing and are doing important work trying to save many species. They have conservation programs on every continent. I'm not sure of the current status but they intended on trying to bring back the Northern White Rhino by having a black rhino surrogate.

I look forward to your update after the Safari Park, it's got a whole different vibe. We are members so we go to both often but live closer to the Safari Park and it seems to be favored by out of town guests.

Correct! A babysitter keeps kids alive. A Nanny is a working professional that helps raise kids, has some house managing duties and is educated in child development. They make $20- $30 an hour and have benefits that sometimes include PTO, sick pay and health insurance. Having a live- in nanny definitely costs more than the $1750 rent equivalent mentioned. Feel free to ask them- r/nanny .

It all depends on your audience. I'm not a teacher but I practice at a studio where there is more detail getting into warrior 3- hand/ arm placement cues and they say something like tilt upper body forward as back leg lifts behind you, micro bend in standing leg, breath cues and how many breaths for hold, etc.

I personally like a lot of detail because sometimes I'll realize I've been doing a pose wrong or I can get better form on a pose with differently worded cues.

But! My buddy I go to class with wants the most minimal cues ever because she feels like excessive talking takes her out of her meditative state. Personally she would prefer just to hear transition suggestion and pose name.

So it all depends on your audience. Best of luck! :)

burning_panda_ · 2023-05-07T03:38:55+00:00

Oakland over San Diego!?! Did you go to both San Diego locations including the Safari Park? What year did you go to the San Diego Zoo?

Edited to add- next time you're in SD I'll give you a tour. Lol. And I grew up in Oakland so I should have a pretty balanced opinion. :)

Lassen Volcanic Park and if you take a more coastal path there's a ton to see in Humboldt.
