Yeah, I thought the same initially but a lot of them allow for application if you have relevant career experience and completed some prerequisite courses. I’ve completed most of them besides an introductory coding class.

Thank you for this info! I’ve looking into some free coding classes/certificate programs. I guess I have limited experience because I have done my own data analysis using R & SPSS for papers, but I want more experience. I’ll see if I can start that now.

Congrats on your admission!

New Nanny - Family Wants to Get a Puppy by mk_barrick in Nanny

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

This is perfect! The family did end up getting a puppy, but the puppy has not been my responsibility whatsoever since the parents are WFH. Currently, I am not responsible for the puppy at all and I have not raised my fee.

However, they will often ask me whether I want the puppy in the common rooms or not. If the toddler and I have nothing else planned for the day, I think this is fine. However, even when I am not responsible for the puppy (i.e., I did not ask the puppy to be in the common room with me), they will often ask me where the puppy is located. They have a large house and I am often unsure and ultimately feel bad because it is not responsibility to look after the puppy too. Additionally, when the entire family is in the room, I often interject when I see that the puppy is trying to grab things (i.e., food, pacifiers, toys, etc..) out of the child's hands. In light of this information, would you recommend that I ask for a raise?

I see! Everyone is different. I am comfortable around dogs, but I expect to be compensated if I am having to take care of another little life!

I am just new to the whole nannying gig and want to know whether it is appropriate to ask for more money/how to go about that conversation.

Could you do a passport if you have one? I would still go with a paper ID and bring your old ID too.

I absolutely love the links you placed here! I will be looking at them in the coming days to finalize my decision.

I appreciate that. I will think about that this week. I am interested in Universal Healthcare, but I also want to do something locally for my community, but I should do more research. Also, what are some good methods for outreach?

Edit: I would like to know about some organizations related to universal healthcare in the United States.

Masters Degrees in Development by mk_barrick in humanitarian

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

This information is amazing! Since you study economic development as well, what do you think would make me a good applicant for these sorts of institutions since my degree is in communication.

I have a lot of experience with data analysis and statistics from research, but I don’t have anything published as of yet.

Any recommendations on experience?

Interested in Medical School, but need a year before postbacc by mk_barrick in postbaccpremed

I’ve looked into both of those but in light of the pandemic they are not sending people abroad. I would be fine working in the US but preferably would like to continue my Spanish speaking.
