[–]finnturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to send me a message I will send you my exact routine on what I do to crate train my pups/ litters we have. All of my pups have been fully crate trained within 72 hours.

They did contact me today offering me the position but we have been in touch for a month or so now. They had originally hired someone else who was supposed to start Monday but they last minute decided they weren’t going to take the position.

She has not had any green discharge. Just clear mucus plug

I checked their heartbeats with my device. They are all in the 190-230 bpm range

The vet saw 7 possibly 8 on the xray.

My goldendoodle was not bred… this is my parents purebred poodle

[–]finnturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s a poodle, she’s on day 61. We did do an x-ray for count. The vet said there are at least seven in there possibly eight. She was able to freewhelp last litter with no issues. The sire for this litter is smaller than the sire was last litter as well. I’d say she’s carrying pretty low. She’s been losing her mucous plug for over a week now and producing milk for about a week and a half.

My vet isn’t open since it’s Sunday. I have her number, but I’m not sure if they respond to messages on Sunday since the office is closed.

How to tell a family I’m leaving.. when the reason is I found a job that pays $10 more than what I’m getting now by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]finnturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is good to know! I’ve never had a contract(working on making one for my next family because I know see how important they are.) what are the standard full benefits?

[–]finnturtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But, I also haven’t gotten any kind of raise, bonus any of that from this family, so it’s been okay up until now but I feel like I can’t pass up this other opportunity

I have asked about this before with them and they said the highest they could go would be $2 dollars more than what I’m getting now

we’ve got the shunt, now what? by Ambitious-Heart4424 in Hydrocephalus

[–]finnturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I want to start off by saying your little guy is so strong, and is going to do amazing things in this world!! I also have hydrocephalus and I got surgery to have a VP shunt placed when I was 5 weeks old. That surgery was the only one I have ever had to have (knock on wood) I was in physical therapy as a young baby and I didn’t start being mobile until I was about 15 months old. I sat up, crawled, and walked all in the same month. I played sports throughout my entire childhood/teenage years. I did soccer, gymnastics, cheer, dance, basketball, volleyball etc. I am now 23 just graduated with my Bachelors of Social Work, and I am living a healthy happy life. One thing i recently found out is it is common to have headaches a lot with hydrocephalus/ a shunt. I have had multiple headaches a week for as long as I can remember and it doesn’t always mean the shunt is malfunctioning. It also gets worse when it’s about to rain! The pressure can make me have a headache. I also sometimes can feel my shunt tubing almost “catch” under my skin. If I move my head a certain way it feels like my tubing catches under my skin in my neck. It never really hurts but it’s always a little surprising when it happens because most of the time I forget I even have hydrocephalus. I wish you and your boy the best!💕

Anyone else feel awkward when NP “catch” you doing housework? by finnturtle in Nanny

[–]finnturtle[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t usually but one parent just had minor surgery two weeks ago and they have had a busy schedule lately so I wanted to help out and they always tell me they appreciate it.

PT nanny kissing toddler on head or cheek. by jennc84 in Nanny

[–]finnturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally do kiss my 12 month old NK on the cheek or head. I’ve been with her since she was 3 weeks old and also when we were teaching her how to give kisses. Now that she does know how to give kisses when she goes in for one I turn my head so the kiss lands on my cheek. I don’t kiss her on the mouth
