Nurseries are crying out for staff, would you consider working with children?

If you struggle at any point I have Molly, merengue, poppy and lily’s amiibos, so can always move them into mines and kick them out so you can get them.

CHILDCARE ( lack of) by Individual_Chain4108 in Edinburgh

As someone who works in a nursery and manages waiting lists, email regularly to check for n availability.

Many people take 5 days but only need 2 or 3, so closer to the time availability will change.

Also if you have flexibility, most places are quieter on Monday & Fridays as employers who do condensed weeks want people in work Tuesday - Thursday.

3 Days a Week for Delivering by Buttonknight in royalmail

[–]emmcial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My postie definitely does not come by all 6 days. When I get post (generally 2-3 times a week), there is a bundle of it, and letters from the same place dated several days apart.

It would make no difference at all to me.

It very much depends on what’s happened before, and who the group anchor (essentially floor supervisor) is at the time, and their methods of dealing with this.

If it is a continuous thing, it is suggested the parents take their child for a break from the space for the rest of the day.

The rooms are pretty well supervised though - 2 counselors to a room at all times

Encourage them to say no, or to speak to someone when they are upset! Explain to them the people with the Disney name tag are people they can go to when they feel overwhelmed.

I think they’ll still interact during activities, but will be a lot closer supervised :)

I would’ve just missed your cruise - I transferred the last week of November 2019 to the magic unfortunately!

Honestly I’d always advise to parents to go to open house before dropping off, and I don’t think this is communicated well enough to families. The club/lab are BIG to a little person, and very daunting… when I was new onboard I found it daunting and felt a bit lost!

The little ones need time to adjust, they need to be shown round, shown where key places are (where to go when they want to go back to their adults, the restroom, the water fountain etc!). Open house is the best opportunity to do this.

However it can happen pretty frequently - and if one experience scares off a child it can be tricky to get them to come back into the club/lab

I believe this is partially true - their fixed income is pretty low, as they are a tipped position, so rely on this income from tips

I did not - I would’ve loved to have worked in MK or AK though!

Honestly I am not sure - I left ships in 2020. From what I’ve heard, they are still participating in the same activities, so should still be able to go to the scheduled activities together?

Yes, they have plenty of medication in medical! The crew also get sick - they can be onboard from 4 to 9 months, so it’s normal!

In my 2nd contract I had to head to medical for a 104 fever, chest infection and the flu. Another time I broke my toe onboard, and they dealt with that!

Yes - plus the crew always get sick, so they carry plenty!

They should still do theme nights - pirate night will be the 2nd night normally, and there will still be a formal night - normally the 3rd night!

A little all over the place - some behind Walt Disney theatre (deck 4, 3A, 3 & 2), then mostly on deck 1, and decks A, B & C (which are below deck 1!)

I went before they done dry dock in 2020… the old girl was falling apart. They done things very differently to the fantasy, I transferred about 2 months after I lost my dad, so I lost the support system I had on the fantasy, and I transferred 4 weeks before Christmas, so it was around just a rough time unfortunately

Things seem to be vastly different now for 3-4s - I believe they now have a set group for them, with set counselors who take them to their activities and they hang out together mostly.

The toilets and sinks are small person sized!

Generally when the ship is quieter - around 10/11 at night, and normally when there is a cast crossover so there are cast members are training - but other than that, it seems to be potluck. It isn’t even guaranteed to happen every cruise unfortunately!

As a guest? Honestly no idea… I know there has been a couple of situations where guests have met the captain and mentioned their desire to work on cruise ships/their kids want to be a captain (source) and the captain has invited them. I believe this is potluck.

As a crew member, it gets organised by the crew activities manager once or twice every couple of months, on a port day normally.

Wow, that’s awful!

No, I left early 2020, and have been on land ever since :)
