regarding a babysitter (family caregiver / governess), the name depends on the nuances of business. Nanny invite a child with infants (up to about one and a half years), the responsibilities of the family caregiver (the kid from half to three to five years) is included, in addition to secure things and care, child development, opportunities, employment for some methods of early learning, fostering the skills of health, self-care and education of cultural behavior. Governess (to an average school age) are more accepted in the family to accompany the child to classes at the clubs and sections, performing with homework and with adequate skills for further study music or foreign language. Differences in activity can be read on specialized sites, but experience shows that this division is rather conditional and in everyday life of all employees (fewer employees), taken to work with the child family, called the nurse. Specificity of a combination of all possible knowledge of all the possible realities of life. It will be useful and life experience and skills in educating their own children, and a variety of creative skills, and education, and knowledge gained in various courses.
However, all these can play a cruel joke: a family where you get a job, may have their own ideas about parenting and their traditions. Should be ready for implementation, in your opinion, confusing instructions, work outside the previously agreed timetable, the compromise, a great responsibility. Where to get an education? As a rule, agencies recruitment of domestic staff sent to the family as a babysitter of workers with health (for infants) or teacher (in most cases) education. When agencies are often conducted training courses dealing with young children. This is mainly a training seminar on the narrow topics (methods of early development, first aid, organizing games development activities, especially children's food and others). At the end of seminar receive a certificate, not a state standard, but sufficient to confirm a family employer your competence. Diploma of Medicine or teacher education, certification, obtained after the training courses, provide several advantages when seeking employment, but not always required. I know nurses who came into the profession, having reached retirement age at Work: sometimes it simply takes assistant, skilled in mother's or grandmother to "look after, feed and walk." In order to meet / hold for an hour and a half day students are invited.
Major Requirements Specialty: Speaking of portfolios, you will need to - Medical (for infants) or teacher education, confirmed by the appropriate document. Leaving Certificate courses massage methods of early reading, working with young children, cooking baby food and others will add weight to your resume. (All this is desirable rather than mandatory). - Availability of medical books. (Not usually a term last medical examination has a value in self-employment without the mediation of agency-book may not require, but its presence adds credibility to nurse). -Recommendations from the last place of work (if they are available). Professional qualities suggest love for children, patience, ability to compromise, ability to make quick decisions, good enough physical shape (the child will be on hand, including dressed, including the stairs with no elevator, you have to play with him, crawl, led by the hand in a position bent over, when he was just mastering the first steps. In addition, you must be resistant to all sorts of infections and "Colds" to himself and not ache, and the baby is not infected). Possession of minimum skills of drawing, modeling, applications (all the same courses to help you), the presence of imagination and creative inclinations, the ability to make the most Children's menu, simple dishes, entertain your baby and to arrange with the use of leisure time - all this is the responsibility of a good babysitter. Average salary is based on total employment rate, which is set by agreement employee and employer. Payment is usually by the hour, and varies in different cities of Russia. In , now she is babysitting for 60-90 rubles per hour, for a governess (with homework) - 150. Named amounts are approximate and may depend on the capabilities and desires of the employer and the qualifications of nurses and additional requirements (caring for a disabled child, the night shift, part-time or short day More appliance load, etc.). At the request of the employer may pay bonuses (travel expenses, bonuses, vacation pay, sick leave). This can be agreed upon in advance and be a part of the employment agreement, and may be sporadic. Pluses and minuses are interrelated. Work on the limited space in the absence of collective benefit for some, for others an inconvenience. The need to periodically change the family (the baby grows) through the every year or three (very rarely accompanied by a nurse, a pupil from the early to middle school age) provides a novelty, a change of scenery, switching, but also creates a situation of instability. On the one hand, the work gives the possibility of creative realization, on the other - brings a claim to be aware of new techniques, and hence, either to self-educate, or to attend training courses. You can not to plan your vacation - it depends on the employer's work schedule. At the same time there are families that are going on holiday to the sea or abroad, take a nanny along, and this together with the work of additional features. What should I care yourself? Most often work in the family will not be issued formally and is not accompanied in the workbook, so themselves choose what you prefer: an employment agreement, the registration of self-employment activities, the work contract. Most likely, you have to take care of their own health insurance and tax and pension contributions. In most cases (unless noted otherwise) payment is in fact spent time and, therefore, you should think about creating a stabilization fund in the event of leave, temporary disability, an unexpected interruption in the work due to circumstances beyond your reasons, finding a new job. Whether to resort to aid agencies on the selection of domestic staff, you decide. John Mclaughlin wanted to know more. My experience suggests that contracting with a highly specialized organization is not more than (I contracts have been signed with two agents in different conditions). In the end, the treaty does not oblige you not to take self-employment attempts. What makes co-operation with the agency? This placement of your data database organization, and therefore, you are always in the focus as a potential worker. This support your activities on the part of agency-broker, enters into a contract with the employer, and you and monitors the execution of this contract, providing you with protection, replacement in case of need and help in the event of a conflict. Since the Agency for selection of domestic staff inspects competitors, its The view is often important for the employer. Matters, and methodological support, you can get a (training courses, didactic literature, psychological testing). Be bold, and you will compete with the very Mary Poppins.
