AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Buena Ventura KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Kindergarten Programs (5–6 Years)

Welcome to kindergarten: the gateway to grade school and everything that
comes next! Offered in select centers, our kindergarten programs have small
class sizes and curriculums that mix learning and fun. The basic building
blocks of reading, writing, math, and science are key in kindergarten, so we
make sure they get lots of practice in all of these areas.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

  • My Daughter has been at the Buena Ventura KinderCare for about three years now, and I would not think about taking her anywhere else. The staff and teachers are great because they are always there for you and address your concerns. I have decided to keep my daughter in KinderCare for the Kindergarten program instead of putting her into a public school, because they have a great curriculum for the children and I am very confident that she will do great while enjoy being there.

    DiAnn C. – KinderCare Parent
  • One of the hardest things I have ever had to do is leave my infant son in the care of virtual strangers. While I worked full-time, I knew that these strangers would be helping me raise my son. While looking for a place for my son to go, I visited different centers, looked into in-home centers, called child care licensing offices, and more. Some of the best advice I received was from the child care licensing office. The person on the other end said, “It is good to check all options, but usually your gut knows where to take your child”. Well, she was correct because after visiting Buena Ventura Kindercare, I knew this was the right place for us.<br /> <br /> We have been coming to Kindercare for over four years. We are overall very happy. Although it has not always been perfect, no place is, the current group of teachers are fantastic, especially Ms. Virgie and Ms. Shawn. They care about each child and their individual personalities. Any concerns that I may have, they listen to and try to resolve the matter promptly. My son can be a typical five-year-old boy so he will test his boundaries. When there are issues, we work together as a team to do what is best for him while working on consistency for all of us to follow. Again, they focus on the child while they balance all other aspects of running a facility.<br /> <br /> My son’s current teacher, Ms. Jaquie is phenomenal! She is very passionate about her job and it translates into the children’s enthusiasm. Ms. Jaquie, really gets to know her students and how each one of them learns, as most have different learning styles. She makes learning fun and genuinely wants to see the children grow both academically and socially. It is wonderful to see my son happy about learning and interacting with his friends.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> I would highly recommend Buena Ventura KinderCare!

Does my child need to be potty-trained?

Read online “Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom” by Sylvia Plath – LitRes, page 4

The Wishing Box

Agnes Higgins perfectly understood the reason for the blissful, absent expression that did not leave the face of her husband Harold during breakfast of scrambled eggs and orange juice .

– Well, tell me, what did you dream about this night ? Agnes snorted contemptuously, threateningly spreading sea plum jam on her toast with a table knife.

“I was just now remembering,” said Harold, looking with happy, misty eyes that early September morning through the seductive and quite real forms of his wife, a rosy-cheeked, full-haired blonde in a peignoir with roses, – the manuscripts that we discussed with William Blake.

– But how did you guess that it was William Blake? Agnes struggled to hide her annoyance.

Harold looked surprised.

– According to his drawings, of course.

What could Agnes say to that? Suppressing a flare of discontent, she silently drank coffee, struggling with a vague jealous feeling that had entangled her in a gloomy, sinister web for the third month, starting from her wedding night, when she found out about Harold’s dreams. That first night of the honeymoon, early in the morning, Agnes’s deep, dreamless sleep was disturbed by the violent, convulsive movement of Harold’s right hand. In a moment of fright, Agnes pushed her husband aside and tenderly, in a motherly way, asked what had happened, deciding that he was fighting off someone in a nightmare. But it was something else.

“I have just started playing the Imperial Concerto [15] ,” the husband said in a sleepy voice. “Must have raised his hand for the first chord when you woke me up.”

At first, Harold’s vivid and vivid dreams amused Agnes. Every morning she asked her husband what he dreamed about, and he told her his dream in detail, in every detail, as if it were an important, real event.

“I was invited to the Library of Congress to meet with American poets,” he said with pleasure. “William Carlos Williams was there in a fine rough wool coat, and the one who wrote about Nantucket.”0021 [16] , and Robinson Jeffers, who looks like an anthology picture of an American Indian, and finally Robert Frost, who arrived in a sedan and said something witty that made me laugh.

Or this:

– I dreamed of an amazing desert, all red and purple – every grain of sand in it sparkled like a ruby ​​or sapphire. A white leopard spotted with gold stood over a bright blue stream, its hind legs on one side and its front paws on the other, and a small family of ants climbed across the stream on its back. Climbing along the tail, they crawled further and descended to the ground, passing between his eyes.

Harold’s dreams were real miniature works of art. Undoubtedly, the CPA with a strong literary taste (instead of daily newspapers he read Hoffmann, Kafka and monthly astrological magazines) also had an amazingly vivid, colorful imagination. Over time, her husband’s habit of treating his dreams as an integral part of daytime existence began to annoy Agnes. She felt superfluous. It turned out that Harold spends a third of his life surrounded by celebrities or incredible, mythical creatures in an incendiary, nerve-wracking atmosphere from which Agnes is forever banished and only hears about her.

Weeks passed and Agnes began to think. Although she was by no means going to admit it to Harold, her own dreams, if they were (and they didn’t happen very often), frightened her: usually dark, faintly shimmering landscapes and ominous, indistinct figures. She did not remember her nightmares in detail, they dissipated upon awakening, but all day she was acutely aware of the suffocating, electrified atmosphere that weighed on her. Agnes was ashamed to share these fragmentary nightmarish visions with Harold for fear that they would seem too flawed against the backdrop of his powerful imagination. Her rare dreams – you could count them on your fingers – seemed so prosaic, so boring in comparison to the regal, baroque splendor of Harold’s dreams. How could you, for example, tell him: “I fell in my sleep”, or “Mom died and I was very sad”, or “Something was chasing me, but I could not run”? The truth was, Agnes painfully realized, her dreams would make the most diligent and benevolent psychoanalyst yawn.

Where did the golden days of childhood, when she believed in fairies, mused the yearning Agnes, go? Then, at least, events were happening in her dreams, and not so boring and ugly. When she was in her seventh year, she sadly recalled, she dreamed of a fairy-tale land beyond the clouds, where caskets of desires, similar to coffee grinders, grew on the trees, and it was worth plucking such a casket, turning the handle nine times and whispering a wish through the side hole, as it came true. Another time she dreamed of three magical blades of grass by the mailbox at the end of their street: the blades of grass sparkled like tinsel on a Christmas tree – red, blue and silver. In another dream, she and her younger brother Michael stood in winter overalls outside Dodie Nelson’s white-tiled house. The gnarled roots of the maple serpentine over the hard brown earth; Agnes wore red-and-white-striped woolen mittens, and when she held out her cupped hand, turquoise-blue snowflakes fell into her. But that was pretty much all Agnes remembered from her childhood, more creative than her current existence. At what age did the generous magical world of dreams leave her? And for what?

In the meantime, dreams were pouring out of Harold like a cornucopia, and he was telling them to her at breakfast. Once, even before meeting Agnes, in the depressing, bad times of his life, Harold dreamed that a burned red fox was running through the kitchen: her fur was charred black, several wounds were bleeding. Harold later told a secret that at a more favorable time, shortly after his marriage, the red fox again appeared to him: miraculously healed, with luxurious fur, she presented him with a bottle of black Quink ink. Harold especially liked fox dreams, and they often recurred. Like a dream about a giant pike.

“There was a pond,” Harold said one hot August morning, “where my cousin Albert and I used to fish, it was full of pike. Last night I was also fishing there, and I was hooked by a huge pike – you can’t imagine such a thing. This specimen must have been the great-great-grandfather of all the others. I pulled and pulled and pulled this pike, but there was no end to it.

“And when I was a child,” Agnes entered, gloomily stirring sugar into black coffee, “I dreamed of Superman, like in a color movie. Blue suit, red cape, black hair – he was as handsome as a prince; we flew with him, and I felt the wind whistle in my ears, and tears come out of my eyes. We flew over Alabama. I knew it was Alabama, because the land looked like a map, and on it, right on top of the big green mountains, it was written: “Alabama.”

Harold was greatly impressed by the story.

– What did you dream about last night? – he asked. There was almost remorse in his tone: to tell the truth, his own dreams so occupied him that he could not imagine himself in the role of a listener and never asked his wife about what she was dreaming about. Now Harold was looking at the pretty, agitated face with new interest: after the honeymoon, he realized for the first time what a delight to the eyes this lovely creature across the table.

For a moment, Agnes was confused by her husband’s well-intentioned question: she had long since left behind the time when she seriously thought about hiding Freud’s book in the closet in order to strengthen her position with other people’s dreams and thus stir up her husband’s interest in herself every morning . And now, abandoning her former restraint, she made a desperate decision to confess her inferiority.

“I’m not dreaming,” Agnes said in a low, sad voice. – No more dreaming.

Harold was obviously taken aback by this news.

“Perhaps,” he tried to console his wife, “you just don’t use your imagination to its full potential. Gotta practice. Come on, close your eyes.

Agnes obediently closed her eyes.

– Well, what do you see now? Harold asked hopefully.

Agnes was terrified. She didn’t see anything.

“Nothing,” she said in a trembling voice. “Just some fog.

“Don’t worry,” Harold said briskly, involuntarily assuming the tone of a doctor dealing with an unpleasant but not fatal disease, “imagine a goblet.

– Which is exactly cup? Agnes pleaded.

“Whatever you want,” Harold said. – You must describe him to me.

Without opening her eyes, Agnes slowly made her way into the depths of her own consciousness. With the greatest difficulty, she managed to recreate a faintly flickering silver goblet, floating somewhere in the mysterious abyss of the mind: it was trembling, ready to die out, like a candle flame.

“It’s silver,” she answered almost defiantly. – He has two pens.

– Fine. Now look at the engraving on it.

At the limit of her strength, Agnes imagined a reindeer, faintly traced on silver, entwined with grape leaves.

– What color is the picture? asked Harold, who, it seemed to Agnes, did not know the feeling of pity.

“Green,” Agnes lied as she hurriedly painted the vine leaves. – The leaves are green. And the sky is black. She felt something akin to pride in her resourcefulness. “And deer fur is reddish-brown with white patches.

– Good. Now put some gloss on the goblet.

Agnes tried to do this too, feeling like a liar.

“This picture is in the back of my head,” she said doubtfully, opening her eyes. “I see everything in the depths of my head. Are you like that too?

“No,” Harold was surprised. “My dreams appear behind the very eyelids, like on a movie screen. They just show up and that’s it. I don’t have to do anything. That’s how it is now. And he closed his eyes. “I see glittering crowns hanging from the willow and swinging back and forth.

Agnes was sternly silent.

“You will succeed,” Harold tried to jokingly cheer up his wife. – Try to imagine different things every day, as I taught.

Agnes did not develop this theme. While Harold was at work, she made it a rule to read a lot: as she read, pictures appeared before her eyes. Seized by a fit of uncontrollable hysteria, she swallowed novels, women’s magazines, newspapers, and even anecdotes from the book “The Joys of Cooking”; she read travel guides, appliance ads, Sears catalogues, instructions for bubble generators, liner notes on record sleeves—anything that helped her not to think about the gaping emptiness in her head that Harold had made her painfully aware of. But as soon as she took her eyes off the printed editions, this protection ceased to exist.

The supremely self-sufficient and unchanging reality of things around Agnes was disheartening. With envious admiration, her frightened, almost fixed eyes darted to the oriental carpet, the blue Williamsburg wallpaper, the gilded dragons on the Chinese vase from the mantelpiece, and the painted medallions on the upholstered sofa on which she sat. Agnes gasped for breath, these things made her suffocate, because their solid, pragmatic existence threatened the deep hidden roots of her ephemeral nature. She knew very well that Harold would never put up with the absurd vanity of tables and chairs; if he didn’t like something or got bored, he would change everything by turning on fantasy. Ah, Agnes lamented, if in a sweet hallucination an octopus with a purple-orange pattern on its tentacles crawled towards her on the floor, she would thank fate. Let anything – just to prove that the imagination has not left it irrevocably, that the eyes do not just fix the surrounding reality, but are able to transform it. “A rose,” she repeated monotonously, as at a memorial service, “this is a rose, this is a rose . ..”0021 [17]

One morning, while reading a novel, Agnes suddenly realized with horror that of the five pages she looked at, not a word could be retained in her memory. She went back, but the letters were spreading across the sheet, twisting in malevolent black snakes, and folded into hissing, untranslatable jargon. It was after this that Agnes began to go to the cinema around the corner every day. She could watch the same film several times, she didn’t care: the moving kaleidoscope flashing before her eyes lulled her and plunged her into a trance, the voices merged into one soothing, obscure code that drove the dead silence from her head. In the end, by persuasion and flattery, she convinced Harold to buy a TV set on installments. It turned out to be better than a movie: now she could watch programs all day and drink sherry. Meeting Harold in the evening after work, Agnes noted with malevolent satisfaction that her husband’s face blurred before her eyes and she managed to change his features at will. Sometimes she gave his skin a green color, sometimes lavender, sometimes a Greek nose, sometimes an eagle’s beak.

“But I like sherry,” she stubbornly told Harold when her secret drinking became apparent even to his loving eye and he asked his wife to drink less. – He relaxes me.

However, the sherry did not relax Agnes enough to allow her to sleep. When the alcohol-infused ghostly mist dissipated, she lay motionless in bed, hungover, and twisted the sheets nervously with her fingers, as if with claws. Harold had long been breathing evenly and peacefully beside him, reliving his amazing adventures in his sleep. So night after night Agnes never closed her eyes, seized with icy panic. Worse, now she was in constant tension. Finally, a cruel truth suddenly dawned on her: the veil of sleep, the restoring darkness of oblivion that separates one day from another – past and future – forever and irrevocably disappeared for her. An intolerable succession of sleepless, dreamless days and nights stretched out before her; her mind is doomed to a complete void, where there is no hope of the birth of any image that could cope with the crushing attack of pompous, smug tables and chairs. In this state, Agnes thought with disgust, she could live a hundred years—women in her family live long.

The Higgins’ family doctor, Dr. Marcus, after listening to Agnes’s complaints of poor sleep, comforted her in his usual cheerful manner:

– It’s just a minor nervous breakdown, nothing to worry about. Take this medicine before going to bed – one pill at a time, and you will sleep like a woodchuck.

Agnes didn’t ask if she would dream in this case, she just put a box of pills in her bag and took the bus home.

Two days later, on the last Friday of September, after returning home from work, Harold (the whole hour-long train ride, he pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, but was actually sailing on a cherry sailboat dhau [18] up the luminous river, in whose crystal-clear water, large white elephants splashed in the shade of Moorish towers of colored glass) found Agnes lying on the sofa in the living room. The wife was wearing her favorite princess-style emerald taffeta evening gown, she looked as beautiful as a lily plucked by the wind; her eyes were closed, and an empty pill box and an overturned glass were lying on the carpet nearby. A light, mysterious, triumphant smile froze on her calm face, as if in a distant land inaccessible to mortals, she was finally dancing a waltz with a dark prince in a red cloak from the dreams of her youth.

Comparison

How I envy novelists!

I imagine him – or rather her, because it is women I am looking for for comparison – so, I imagine her: she cuts rose bushes with large scissors, adjusts her glasses, arranges cups on the table, hums something, emptying ashtrays, fiddling with children, catching a slanting beam of light and a glimpse of good weather, penetrating with the help of a stingy and at the same time excellent X-ray vision into the psyche of neighbors – neighbors on the train, or in line at the dentist, or in the tea shop on the corner. Everything is perfect for this lucky lady! Old shoes, doorknobs, flannel nightgowns, cathedrals, nail polish, jet planes, rose arbors, and budgerigars will do; a bit of mannerism – sucking on a tooth, pulling at the hem of a dress, whatever, any strange, rude, beautiful and pitiful things. Not to mention emotions, motivations – all these powerful, destructive states. It deals with Time: it rushes forward or rolls back, blossoms, fades, reveals itself. She deals with people in Time. And, in my opinion, Time is completely at her disposal. She can, if she wants to, stretch out the action for a century, for the life of one generation or for one summer.

And I have a minute at my disposal.

I’m not talking about epic poems. We all know how long they can be. I’m talking about small, behind the scenes, ordinary poems.

How can I describe them? The door opens, the door closes. In between you see a fleeting picture: a garden, a man, a storm, a dragonfly, a heart, a city. I am reminded of the round glass Victorian paperweights, which, as far as I remember, are no longer to be found – nothing to do with the plastic products that flooded the Woolworth stores [19] . The old paperweight is a transparent ball, almost perfect, clean, with a forest, or a village, or a family group inside. You turn it up and down – it snows. Everything changes instantly. The old pictures will never appear in it – neither spruces, nor pediments, nor faces.

This is how a poem arises. It takes up so little space! And time too! The poet knows how to pack suitcases perfectly:


Sudden appearance in the crowd of these persons;
Petals on a branch black from moisture [20] .

Here it is – the beginning and the end on one exhalation. Is this possible for a novelist? In a paragraph? In a page? Maybe dilute with water, like paint, dilute, disperse?

This is how I become self-satisfied, I find advantages in poets.

If a poem is a tightly clenched fist, then a novel is a palm open and relaxed: it has roads, detours and destinations; there is a love line, there is an intellectual one; it also includes morals and money. Where the fist does not hesitate and stun with a blow, an open palm can grope and contain a lot on this journey.

There will never be a toothbrush in my poem. I am not interested in ordinary, useful and necessary things. I will never insert them into a poem. Once, however, she mentioned a yew tree. And with amazing selfishness it took possession of the whole poem. It was not a yew tree by a church on the road passing by a house in the city where a certain woman lived … and so on, as it would be in a novel. Not at all. He firmly reigned in the center of the poem, ruling over the ghostly shadows, the voices in the church garden, the clouds, the birds, the gentle melancholy in which I conceived him—everything! I couldn’t handle it. And in the end the poem became about the yew. This yew was too proud to be a pale shadow in the novel.

I may annoy some poets by suggesting that the poem is arrogant. They will object that a poem can also contain everything. And even with more precision and power than the baggy, disheveled, vague writings called novels. I give these poets the right to write about excavators and old trousers. Poems don’t have to be too chaste. I don’t even mind a toothbrush if the result is a beautiful poem. But cases like the poetic toothbrush are rare. And when they appear, they tend, like my indefatigable yew, to bulge and come to the fore.

It’s not like that in novels. There, the toothbrush returns to its cup with remarkable speed and is forgotten. Time flows, swirls, twists, and people have the opportunity to grow and change before our eyes. All the splendid rubbish of life revolves around: chests of drawers, thimbles, cats, a catalog of all sorts of things so beloved and read to the holes, with the contents of which the novelists want to acquaint us. I do not want to say that they do not have a system, insight, orderliness. I only assume that the form does not dominate them as much as it does the poets.

The door of the novel, like the door of the poem, also closes. But not so quickly, not so painfully, not with such undeniable completeness.

Fifteen dollar eagle

There are several tattoo parlors in Madigan Square, but none of them compare to Carmi’s. This is who the true artist of needle and paint is, a true artist of his craft. Teenagers, port bums, out-of-town couples visiting for a beer all stop and stick to Carmi’s window. Everyone has a dream, says Carmi, a rose on the heart, an eagle on the muscles, the sweetest Jesus in the soul, so come to me. In this life, you can wear a heart on your skin – I am the person who can do it. For animal lovers – dogs, wolves, horses and lions. For ladies – butterflies, birds of paradise, smiling or crying baby faces – take your pick. There are a variety of roses: large, small, in bud and blooming, roses with a name, roses with thorns, roses with heads of Dresden dolls, pierced in the center with arrows, with pink petals, green leaves, beautifully highlighted with a black stroke. Serpents and dragons for Frankenstein. Not to mention cowgirls, Hawaiian dancers, mermaids and movie stars with pink nipples or, if you prefer, completely naked. If you want a drawing on the back, I can suggest Christ on the cross, with thieves on either side and angels on top, stretching from left to right a scroll with the inscription “Mount Golgotha” in old English handwriting, similar to gilding, as yellow is similar to it.

Outside, people are pointing their fingers at floor-to-ceiling colored stucco. They share their impressions together, and something comes through the glass:

– Dear, just look at these peacocks!

– It’s crazy to spend money on tattoos. I only paid for one, a panther on my shoulder.

– Do you want a heart? I’ll tell him where to put it.

The first time I saw Carmi at work was through my longtime friend Ned Bean. Leaning against the wall with hearts and flowers, waiting for clients, Carmi spent time in the company of Mr. Tomolillo, a shabby little man in a woolen jacket thrown over non-existent shoulders and not able to either decorate or slightly correct his figure. The jacket is covered in brown squares, each the size of a cigarette pack and boldly outlined in black. It is quite possible to play tic-tac-toe on it. A brown felt hat pulled down to his eyebrows, sort of like a mushroom cap. The narrow, triangular, concentrated face of the male praying mantis. When Ned introduces me, Mr. Tomolillo bends into a bow as crisp as the string of his mustache above his upper lip. His bow delights me: after all, the cabin is so crowded that none of the four of us, at the slightest movement, can not hurt the others with a shoulder or knee.

The cabin smells of gunpowder and some kind of antiseptic. Along the back wall, from left to right, are Carmi’s worktable, electric needles attached to a rotating paint rack, the owner’s swivel chair opposite the window, a straight-backed client chair, an empty bucket, and an orange wooden box littered with scraps of paper and pencil stubs. In front of the salon, next to the glass door, there is another chair, against the back of which is leaned a large poster with the image of Golgotha, next to it on a shabby wooden table is a cardboard filing cabinet. Above Carmi’s chair, on the wall, among babies and daisies, hang two faded portraits of a young man: one shows his torso from the front, the other from behind. From a distance it seems that the young man is wearing a long-sleeved shirt – fitted, made of black lace. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there is nothing on the young man: these are tattoos with creeping ivy covering his body.

A yellowed clipping from some old magazine depicts Eastern men and women sitting cross-legged on fringed cushions with their backs to the camera, their robes embroidered with seven-headed dragons, mountain ranges, cherry trees and waterfalls. But the ad says, “These people don’t have any clothes on. Tattoos are a necessary sign of belonging to their community. Such work costs at least three hundred dollars. Next to the clipping is a photograph of a bald man, whose skull is wrapped around the back by the tentacles of an octopus.

“I think their skin is worth more than the drawings,” says Mr. Tomolillo. “Especially if you put it on a board.

But neither the tattooed youth nor the group of Oriental people can compare to Carmi, who himself is a living advertisement of his skill: on the right biceps – a schooner under sail in the ocean of rose and holly leaves, on the left – Gypsy Rose Lee [21] , the bending camp in the belly dance; hearts, stars and anchors, lucky numbers and names, daylilies are crowded on the forearms – all this mixes, blurs and looks like a comic book forgotten in the rain. According to rumors, Carmi, a fan of the Wild West, has a rearing wild mustang impaled from the navel to the collarbone with a stubborn as hell cowboy clinging to his back. However, this may be a legend due to the owner’s habit of wearing cowboy boots made of embossed leather with high heels and Bill Hickok’s belt [22] , trimmed with red stones, which he wears with black chinos. Carmi has blue eyes. Their blueness is in no way inferior to that which is sung in songs about the Texas sky.

“I have been doing this for sixteen years,” Carmi says, leaning against a painted wall, “and I assure you I am still learning. I got my first tattoo in Maine during the war. Hearing that I was an expert in this field, I was invited to the Women’s Army Corps…

– Should I give them tattoos? I was surprised.

– Stab numbers – that’s all.

– Perhaps some of you got scared?

– Of course, not without it. But someone came again. Once, two women from this building showed up on the same day to get a tattoo. They muttered something indistinct, stammered. “Listen,” I told them. “Better come another time when you know what you want.” What problems?” “It’s not that we don’t know what we want,” one squeaked. “We just haven’t decided where to put it.” “Well, if that’s the problem,” I say, “trust me. I’m like a doctor. So many women have passed through me that there will be no problems. “I would like three roses,” she then continued. “One on the stomach and one on each buttock.” Then the second one plucked up courage: you know how it happens, and asked me to draw a rose for her on …

– Large or small roses? “Mr. Tomolillo doesn’t want to miss a single detail.

“About the same,” Carmi points to a picture of roses, where each bud is the size of a Brussels sprout. – Large. Well, I completed the order and I tell them, “I’ll give you a ten dollar discount if you come back and show me how you healed.”

– Well, how did you come? Ned wants to know.

– Of course they did. Carmi lets out a ring of smoke that floats in the air thirty centimeters from his nose, the bluish, hazy outline of a rose. “Do you want to know what crazy law we have?” he continues. “I can cover the whole person in tattoos. He looks me over carefully from head to toe. – Back. Rear – Karmi closes his eyelids; one might think that he is praying. – Chest. Anything but the face, hands and feet.

Is this written in federal law ? asks Mr. Tomolillo.

Carmi nods.

– Yes, under federal law. There are curtains in the salon,” he points at the dusty blinds in the window. – I will lower them, and I can treat any part of the body. Except the face, hands and feet.

– This is probably because they are visible – I put in.

– Exactly. Take the army, drill. Guys with tattoos don’t look right. Their faces and hands will be conspicuous, they will not be able to hide.

“And yet,” Mr. Tomolillo counters, “this is an infringement of human rights. I think the law is totalitarian. In a democratic country, everyone can decorate themselves as they please. I mean, if a lady decides to put a rose on the back of her hand, then…

“…it’s her right,” Carmi finishes irritably. “People should get what they want, no matter what. A little lady came to me the other day. – Carmi raised his palm one and a half meters from the floor: – Like this. She wanted to have the whole Golgotha ​​on her back, and I did it for her. The work took eighteen hours.

I look doubtfully at the thieves and angels in the picture:

– Haven’t you shortened the plot a bit?

– No.

– Did you remove a single angel? Ned is surprised. – And the foreground is not reduced?

– Nothing, I tell you. Thirty-five dollars for a color work with thieves, angels, and Old English lettering. She left the salon proud as a swan. Not every shorty has all Calvary in full bloom on his back. I can make a tattoo from a photo. I can transfer an exact copy of a movie star to my skin. Anything the clients want. I have some drawings that I do not hang on the wall so as not to offend someone’s feelings. I’ll show you now. Carmi takes the filing cabinet from the table. “My wife needs to put things in order here,” he says, “everything is terribly neglected.

– Does your wife help you? I ask with interest.

– Ah, Laura… She’s in the salon most of the day. – For some unknown reason, Carmi’s voice begins to sound solemn, like a monk at a Sunday service.

What if he uses his wife as an advertisement? Laura, the Tattooed Lady, a living masterpiece, sixteen years in the business. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s not a single white spot on it. Watch and you will want the same.

“Come back often,” he tells us, “she loves company.”

Carmi rummages through the drawers of the file cabinet, but doesn’t get anything out of them… Then suddenly stops searching and freezes like a pointer in a rack.

A tough guy is standing at the door.

– What can I do for you? Carmi takes a step forward, showing who’s boss.

– I want to impale an eagle.

Ned, Mr. Tomolillo and I push against the side walls to let the guy into the middle of the cabin. Even without a uniform – a pea coat and a plaid woolen shirt – it is clear that he is a sailor. His diamond-shaped head with a wide part between the ears tapered upwards, where there was an island of short-cropped hair.

– For nine dollars or fifteen?

– For fifteen.

Mr. Tomolillo sighs in admiration.

The sailor sits down in a chair opposite Carmi’s swivel chair, shakes off his pea coat with a deft movement of his shoulders, unbuttons the left cuff of his shirt and slowly rolls up his sleeve.

“You should come closer,” Carmi tells me in a low, promising voice. “You can see better from here. You haven’t seen how tattoos are done before. Trying to shrink and become smaller, I sit on a box of papers to the left of Carmi in the corner, like a hen on eggs.

Carolyn helped take care my 10 months old baby girl while the daycare was closed that day. She came in with my daughter just got peanut allergy and she was able to help find ways to make my daughter calm down and stop coughing. Throughout the day I can hear my girl laughing with her while I workfrom home. Thanks for Carolyn to make my day easier that I can focus on work….

My husband and I hired Eliza for a trip down to LA for a music festival. We were both nervous to leave our son who is 9 months old, Within a few minutes of Eliza arriving we were so relaxed leaving him with her. Eliza was engaged and asking questions on how to better care for our son. She sent andresponded quickly with updates on him. She is amazing and I would hire her again!…

Elaina D.

Ms. Elaina has been working with our seven-month daughter for close to two months now. We can’t say enough good things about her. First, and foremost, Ms. Elaina is equal parts educator and childcare provider. She comes equipped with an activity plan everyday, and our daughter has benefitedtremendously. Every week, we have noticed clear signs of advancement (e.g. developing recognition of some sign language). Just as important, Ms. Elaina is always patient with our daughter and cares for her with love. It is obvious that our daughter looks forward to seeing Ms. Elaina every day. We are extremely grateful to be working with her. On a 10-point scale, we would give her 10 out of 10. Simply put, we have no complaints and could not recommend her more highly. Ms. Elaina has exceeded our expectations on every level….

Hi families! As the oldest daughter of 5 kids, childcare has been a huge part of my life. Taking care of and leading my siblings matured me at a young age, and I’m extremely grateful for the experience. Ivolunteered at Texas Children’s Hospital for 2 years (received a scholarship for my work), have been a three-time Summer Camp Counselor, worked in an after school care program, during Sunday services at churches and was even a soccer coach/referee for a youth sports league here in San Antonio!

Evening, Night, Weekend Professional Nanny Available, Babysitter

Description:

Hello, my name is Agnieszka (Nikki for short).
A little about myself, I came here to the United States from Poland 11 years ago as an au pair where I lived with a family and took care of their children (thenages 1 and 3 years old). I cared for them for 4 years going to school in the evenings working on my BBA degree. During this time, I met my husband. Since then, I worked with numerous other families, worked in the corporate world, had 2 children of my own, achieved my MBA, and now I’ve decided that being a stay-at-home mom to take care of my own children is a priority for me.
In the past 10 years, I have worked with numerous families and children caring for newborns, toddlers, school-aged children and teenagers. The variety of children and families I worked with give me a great advantage of understanding various situations that come with caring for children. I take my job very seriously. I always try to have fun with the children I care for but the safety and well-being of the children is always my priority.
In addition, my services extend to helping parents with problems and concerns they might have related to their children’s sleeping, eating, night waking up, bottle/pacifier handling, etc. I worked with families on putting children on schedules to establish evening routines. Also, I helped families with children who often wake up at night. For parents that want their child to change his/her behavior or pattern, this is something I have experience in and I can help.
Finally, my love for children extends to my own family. Both of my boys are a true joy in my life and I love spending time with them.
I already have many very positive reviews here on Care.com but I can provide more references upon request. I am most interested in jobs during evenings, weekends and/or overnights. Please, feel free to contact me and I promise I will get back to you within 24 hours.
Thank you….

I’d be happy to be your date night sitter! I’m very friendly, fun, trustworthy, and dependable. I work part-time, on call as needed (no steady weekly jobs, just whoever contacts me first for a particularnight), weekday & weekend evenings from 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. (a little later is ok, too). I ask for 15 – 20/hr, depending on the number of kids and their age, and I ask for 4 hrs minimum pay per job. I was a flight attendant for 28 yrs, and each yr I had to pass 2 days of emergency training, including CPR and first aid; I’m very safety-conscious, and I take very good care of the children I babysit. I love to play with them indoors and out, help them to learn, and read to them and help them to read; they have fun with me, and they get my full attention. I have 20 5-star reviews here and 3 on another site, as well as a really great reference from parents whose son I babysat from 1 – 4. 5 yrs old, and I’d be happy to send you the other reviews and reference.

What is an overnight babysitter?

An overnight babysitter is a sitter who stays at the house with the children overnight while they sleep. The family member or members responsible for the children may return very late at night, the next morning, or even a day or two later. Even if the babysitter is asleep, they’re technically on the clock and are responsible for the children until their adult family members return.

How much do you pay a babysitter to stay overnight?

Not sure how much to pay an overnight babysitter? Overnight babysitting rates start at $25.56, but the exact cost of hiring a babysitter to stay overnight can vary based on each sitter’s years of experience and qualifications.

What babysitter duties do overnight babysitters take on?

You can hire an overnight babysitter to tackle many different babysitter duties. Search Care.com profiles to find an overnight sitter who can help with tasks like cooking and meal prepping homework, laundry, and light housekeeping. Be sure to discuss your needs with potential babysitters and see which additional duties they’re happy to take on.

Overnight Babysitting Tips (What to Bring, Prepare, and Expect)

If parents need to get away for more than an evening, you may be asked to stay over until the next day.

How do you babysit overnight?

Babysitting overnight usually includes putting the kids to bed and also sleeping over at the family’s house yourself. You’ll need to bring additional items, like a spare change of clothes and bathroom supplies. How you bill for your babysitting services also changes a bit for overnight shifts.

In this article, you’ll learn what overnight babysitting involves, what items you should bring, how to prepare, and what questions to ask parents before they leave.

What is an Overnight Babysitter?

Babysitting can come in different forms. Sometimes you’ll need to act as a tutor and help kids with math homework. Other times, you’ll act as a means of transportation to get kids home from school safely. Babysitting overnight is just another request that parents might have, although not likely as frequent.

Babysitting overnight involves staying in the family’s house while the kids are asleep until the next day. Sometimes if the parents plan to get back very late, it’s just easier for you to sleep at the house instead of going home at 3 or 4 am.

Overnight babysitting is a bit more relaxed in terms of duties than a regular babysitting shift. For most of the time you’re at the house, the kids will hopefully be in bed asleep. That means fewer messes to clean up, fewer activities, and fewer arguments between siblings.

Take your babysitting service to the next level!

Once the kids are asleep, you’re pretty much free to relax a bit and do whatever you want, in most cases. It’s more housesitting than babysitting, usually! It’s not like you need to stay up to keep watch. You’re free to get a good night’s rest too. You’re mostly just there to keep the kids safe and help them out if they wake up and need a drink or have a nightmare.

How to Pack for an Overnight Babysitting Job

Whenever you go babysitting, it’s best to bring your babysitting binder or bag. Check out my article: How to create your own Babysitting Binder.

But besides your usual babysitting essentials, there are some extra things you’ll need to bring.

You’ll want to bring much of the same stuff that you’d bring if you were going to a sleepover at a friend’s house.

Your Bathroom Items

You’ll want all your necessary bathroom supplies to get ready for bed while you’re babysitting overnight. It’s not a good idea to use another family’s bathroom supplies while you’re staying over.

So—don’t forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant for sure.

You’ll also want to bring any things you’ll need to get ready in the morning, like your hairbrush or comb, and hair bands or clips if you’ve got long hair.

Pack any other personal things like lip balm that you might also want.

It makes sense to get a small toiletry bag that can keep all of your personal hygiene supplies organized and in one place.

Any Medications You Need

Bring any prescriptions or medications that you need to take on a daily basis.

If you have asthma, don’t forget to pack your inhaler if you might need it!

Remember your contact lenses case and solution, or eyeglasses, if you might need them overnight.

If you’re allergic to a pet the family has, it’s a good idea to pack some allergy medication. Otherwise, you might be in for a very rough and sniffly night. Bring an EpiPen if you have been prescribed one for allergies that are severe or life-threatening.

Your Clothing

When you’re sleeping over, you want to bring a comfy pair of pajamas to wear. A fleece onesie is a good choice, and the kids you’re babysitting will probably like it too. This should definitely be a modest pair that covers you up in case you need to get up with the kids. A robe would be helpful, too.

You’ll also want to pack an extra pair of clothes, socks, and underwear for the next day.

See our complete guide: What To Wear When Babysitting for some practical outfit ideas as well as things you should definitely avoid.

If the family has a pool or there’s any chance the kids might go swimming, bring a swimsuit and a towel as well. If they do have a pool, don’t take that as an opportunity to swim alone at any time. The only time you would expect to use it is in a supervisory babysitter role—with parent’s permission. See our guide to Babysitting at the Pool for a complete checklist.

Some Extra Money

It’s always good to have a little extra cash on hand, just in case there’s an emergency, or you decide to take the kids for an activity or outing that requires money.

You can always use it to order some pizza or another form of food delivery if you get hungry (and it is okay with the parents).

Your Phone, Chargers, and Other Electronics

These days pretty much everybody is carrying their cell phone on them at all times. But you might not think to bring your charger with you as well. Your phone is no good if the battery is dead, so having a way to charge it is a must.

Having a phone is important in case you need to get ahold of parents, or they need to get ahold of you. Or you will want to have in case there is any kind of emergency. Make sure that you’ve got numbers stored in your phone to reach the parents at, along with a doctor or any other important contact you may need.

You might want to bring a tablet to keep yourself entertained between the time kids go to bed and you decide to sleep yourself. If you have homework or a project to work on, you can bring a laptop and work on that during your downtime as well. It feels pretty good to get paid to do your homework!

Bring Some Snacks

It’s worth packing some snacks in your bag. Either for yourself or so you can share with the kids you’re babysitting.

Unwind and enjoy some potato chips, or some fresh fruit if you’re more health-conscious.

If you’re going to be sharing your snacks, make sure to ask the parents ahead of time to confirm that it’s okay with them. It’s their house, and you want to be respectful of any rules they might have about what their kids can or can’t eat, especially right before bed.

Some parents don’t allow candy in their house at all, and they might be a bit annoyed if they find questionable wrappers in the garbage the next day!

Bring Games and Toys

Younger kids will go to bed quite early. But if you’re babysitting older kids, you might want to bring some games and toys to keep them busy until bedtime.

Bring some board games, a video game console (but check with parents on this), or crafts for the kids to do. We have some excellent craft ideas for kids that you can try.

You could also bring an MP3 player to play some music. Get the kids dancing to burn off their extra energy, and then getting them to sleep afterward won’t be a problem!

If you’re not used to being away from home, you might even want to bring a favorite stuffed animal for yourself to sleep with.

Checking In With Parents Before They Leave (Things To Consider)

Parents deserve a chance to unwind and have a night away from the kids for themselves!

So try your best to check in with them and get all of your questions answered before they leave. Make a list ahead of time, so you can remember everything you need to ask them. That way, you won’t have to call and interrupt their plans during the night.

I strongly recommend writing down any important instructions. If you just get them verbally, it can be easy to forget. Print out our Parent Details Form; it’s perfect for this.

Ask If You’re Not Sure How To Do Things

This can include anything from child-related things to items around the house.

You can ask parents to demonstrate if there’s a special way that they rock their child to get them to go to sleep. Babies are used to having things done a certain way. So the closer you can get to copying the parents’ normal routine, the easier it will be for the child.

It’s important to discuss little details like how to use the oven or washing machine in case you need it. The appliances in everybody’s house are a bit different, and sometimes it can be hard to know which buttons to press.

Try to get parents to leave you a list of must-know items before they leave. This will include any special instructions, like favorite toys or activities kids like.

If the family has a burglar alarm system in their home, be sure to get a lesson on how to set it before you go to bed and how to disarm it when you wake up. Write down the code, so you don’t forget if you get busy or flustered. Ask them what to do if you accidentally set it off, whether it calls security, and how you would handle that.

Make sure to ask them where they would like you to sleep and which bathroom you should use. It’s important to respect their space and their privacy, and you don’t want any surprises when you are taking a shower in the morning!

Get the Parent’s Usual Schedule

Kids are all about routine. So get parents to let you know when their child eats, naps, and goes to bed.

Get them to explain the details of their usual bedtime routine, including if the child needs a bath (see our 21 bathtime tips), where their pajamas are, if you need to read them a story before bed, and what time they should be in bed. Ask about the drinks of water and snacks that kids often ask for after lights out and how they usually handle that in their home.

Keeping your babysitting schedule close to the family’s regular routine will keep things moving and help avoid conflicts and temper tantrums.

Still struggling to get kids to bed on time? Check out my article: How to Get Kids to Bed When Babysitting.

Learn Where Things Are Kept

You’ll want to know everything that the child needs for the night. If they have a specific toy that they love to sleep with, or if there’s particular music they listen to before bed, find out where they are.

Also, ask the parents if their children sometimes wet the bed, and if so, how they would like you to handle the situation.

If you’ll be changing diapers, get them to run you through the whole routine. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Particularly if the family uses cloth diapers and you’ve only changed diapers with disposables before, the process can be a bit different. You’ll want to have all the diapering supplies easily accessible for when you inevitably need to use them.

Refer to our Diaper Changing Guide for detailed instructions for babysitters.

If it’s your first time babysitting for a family, it’s a good idea to get a full tour of the house. You’ll want to know where they keep stuff like extra towels or toilet paper that you might need if you’re just babysitting for more than a couple of hours and somebody runs out.

Ask About any Quirks or Special Circumstances

All kids have their own little quirks. Some kids might poop a lot more than average. Some babies will cry for 5 minutes before they go to sleep. Some like the nightlight on in their rooms or the door left open. Other kids need their blankets pulled all the way up to their chin when you say goodnight!

Ask parents if there’s anything out of the ordinary or different from most kids so that you can be aware of it. That way, it won’t be a cause for alarm, and you know what’s normal or expected.

You also need to be aware of any health problems the child is having, such as if they’re just getting over the flu. Ask about any medication or special health requirements that the children you’re babysitting might have.

See our guide: How to Babysit a Sick Child for extra tips for kids not feeling well.

Get Familiar with the Pets

You may not have babysat at a time when pets had to be fed before. But if parents are going away overnight, that will most likely be the case.

Learn where food for dogs, cats, or other pets is kept. You’ll also need to know how much to give them at each meal and when you feed them. You will also need to know how often they might need to be let outside or if they come inside at night. Ask where they are supposed to sleep—and not supposed to sleep.

It’s a good idea to have some extra treats on hand. If a dog is outside and won’t seem to come back inside when you call them, a tasty snack will usually get them running back to you very quickly!

If their dog is anxious or scared of new people, you might want to arrive a little early to get to know the family pet. Treats come in handy here too. Give any pet a few treats, and you’ll quickly be transformed from a scary stranger into their best friend!

Get Feeding Instructions for the Kids Too!

In addition to feeding yourself and the pets, you might need to feed the kids if you arrive before dinner time. If the parents won’t be home right away, you may need to help them with breakfast as well.

Most parents will have specific meals laid out in advance for their kids to eat. All you may need to do is warm them up. But if not, be sure to ask what they can eat and what the parents don’t want them to eat.

For infants, you’ll need to have some bottled milk, formula, or baby food on hand. If you’re not sure how to prepare a bottle, see our Guide to Making Baby Formula for step-by-step instructions. I also recommend you read our Guide to Babysitting Babies for all other baby-related babysitting tips.

Kids under 4 years old shouldn’t eat raw carrots, popcorn, nuts, or other items that might cause them to choke.

It’s not just about what they eat, but how they eat it too! Kids might be old enough to eat grapes or hot dogs, but for younger kids, these should be cut up into small pieces instead of served whole. Otherwise, they may be a choking hazard, particularly if a child’s baby teeth haven’t come in yet.

Read our essential guide: Food Safety For Babysitters for more safety tips when feeding young children.

How To Price Your Overnight Babysitting Services

So what kind of rate should you charge when babysitting overnight? You’ll likely need to negotiate a special pay scale that’s different from your regular rate.

Normally you don’t pay someone as much while they’re sleeping compared to actively babysitting. But you should still get some compensation for being there, even if you’re asleep. You’re in someone else’s house instead of your own bed, so it will be harder to sleep. Plus, you are still responsible for the kids, whether or not they sleep through the night. You’re still on duty the entire time that you’re at the family’s home, even if it’s more of an on-call or as-needed basis.

There are a few different ways that you could price the job. It’s usually easiest to give a single flat rate that includes the entire time that you’ll be babysitting. It’s pretty typical to charge $50 or $75 for staying the night, on top of any regular babysitting hours that you worked while the kids were awake.

If you arrive around 7 or 8 pm and spend the night, plus get the kids ready for school the next day, then I think around $75 to $100 as a flat rate is fair.

Your rate will really go up if you need to babysit for several days in a row. For example, if you arrive on Friday afternoon and don’t leave until the following Monday afternoon, you’ll have spent 3 days and 3 nights babysitting. Depending on the prices you agree to for days and nights, you might make a flat amount like $400 to $600.

As a general rule, I would charge about half your regular rate for the additional overnight hours. As soon as you wake up in the morning to start taking care of the kids, I would go back to your normal rate.

I would also charge the normal rate for any planned time that you need to wake up and help kids during the night—like waking them to give medication or do an infant feeding.

Conclusion

Babysitting overnight is generally more laid back than it is during the day. There’s a lot less to worry about and take care of while the kids are asleep, and you even get paid to sleep there yourself!

It takes a bit more preparation, though. You should communicate with parents to learn any special things that you need to do overnight. That includes specific bedtime routines, and if you need to feed or take care of any pets.

You’ll also need to pack some extra items, including a change of clothes and any bathroom supplies you need before going to bed.

Is an Overnight Nanny or Child Care Provider Right for You?

According to the Economic Policy Institute, at least 17 percent of the U.S. workforce has non-standard schedules, which means not every parent has the luxury of working 9 to 5, or even 8 to 6. Doctors, military personnel, police officers, firefighters, retail and restaurant employees, and even IT professionals often face a childcare dilemma during hours that fall outside of typical daycare drop-off and pick-up times. But work schedules aren’t the only issue, and there plenty of other reasons families seek overnight childcare.

Is hiring an overnight nanny right for your family? Here’s what you should consider:

Non-standard Work Schedules
Routines are incredibly important for young children. Not only can irregular work schedules throw off mealtimes and bedtimes, but they also can mean parents are unable to regularly engage children in important developmental activities, like reading, singing songs and recalling the day’s events. For families who are employed or on-call at night, hiring an overnight nanny can mean a child’s routine stays the same, even if mom’s or dad’s doesn’t.

Business Trips
Business trips are a normal part of many jobs, and typically they happen with enough time to plan for a short interruption in a family’s schedule. Other jobs require extensive travel or travel that is less predictable. Either way, even if one parent is home to care for the kids, having an extra set of hands in the evenings and mornings can help families better manage during these periods.

 

Health and Wellness
Sleep is a huge concern for all new parents, but if mom is at higher risk for postpartum depression, had a complicated pregnancy or delivery, or has other health and wellness concerns, a nanny to help with the overnight needs of an infant may be well worth the investment. Even without a specific need, some families with newborns opt to have nighttime help for the added security of a knowledgeable professional who can support them as they navigate new parenthood.

Other Special Circumstances
There are plenty of special circumstances that can lead families to seek childcare at irregular hours. Overnight nannies can help parents manage multiples, children with special needs or newborns who spent time in neonatal care.

Space in Your Home
If you’re planning to hire a nanny to be in your home overnight, you’ll want to consider the space needs of an extra person. Overnight nannies require their own bedroom, and providing a nanny with use of a private bathroom, while not necessary, can go a long way toward making everyone in the house more comfortable.

The Budget
For many families, the accessibility of hiring an overnight nanny comes down to budget — and like all types of childcare, costs vary depending on the nanny’s experience and special qualifications as well as where you live. Keep in mind that despite the fact that overnight nannies are there while the children are sleeping, hourly rates are similar to nannies who work during the day.

Once you’ve decided that your family needs nighttime childcare, you’ll want to research the types of nannies available. Here’s a quick rundown of childcare professionals who provide overnight care:

Live-in Nanny
Rather than leaving at 6 p.m., a live-in nanny is exactly what it sounds like — a nanny who lives in your home. But just because the nanny lives with you doesn’t mean she is available at all hours. If you need care in the evening or during overnight hours, you’ll need to take that into consideration when determining her schedule.

What is the difference between a live-in nanny and an au pair?
When families begin looking for live-in childcare, the term “au pair” is often used interchangeably with “live-in nanny,” but they are actually very different. An au pair is a young woman who stays with a family as part of an international exchange program. While nannies are career childcare workers with significant experience, au pairs exchange childcare for a cultural experience and room and board. Au pairs also are regulated through government programs, meaning that the au pair is not employed by the family and is subject to the terms of a work visa.

Overnight Nanny
An overnight nanny helps with evening routines and overnight care, as well as in the morning to get children out of bed, fed, dressed and ready for the day. This type of nanny can be a huge asset to parents who work an overnight shift.

Temporary or Occasional Night Nanny
Not all families need a regular overnight nanny. Instead, when travel comes up or a particularly busy time at work prohibits the family from being on a normal schedule, temporary night nannies can be hired to lessen the burden of an unpredictable period of time. They can either live in your home or leave during the day, depending on the situation.

Newborn Care Specialist or Night Nurse
A newborn care specialist, also known as a night nurse, is a highly trained and certified childcare worker who can help parents care for infants, particularly during the overnight hours. Night nurses are common in metropolitan areas.

Regardless of which type of nanny is right for your family, remember that sharing your home at night can feel more intimate than during the day. If you decide overnight care is needed, take the time to find a nanny you feel comfortable having in your space during these hours.

How to Prep for Your Overnight Babysitter

In college and for a few years after, I did a lot of babysitting to supplement my (low) income.  Since I was over 22 and had my own vehicle, I quickly became a hot commodity in my sisters’ circles of friends, and had a fairly steady stream of overnights, weekends, and even a few weeks where I would watch kids while the parents were away. I learned a lot about what helped and didn’t as the sitter, and over time, kind of came into a few specific requests that seemed to really work out well. We’re going on a trip next week (first time without the kids) and one of my nieces will be staying with the kids- so the table has turned, so to speak.

1. Emergency Medical Information

Write a letter to whom it may concern and give the sitter permission to obtain medical treatment for your child(ren). Sign and date it.  Include a copy of both sides of their insurance card(s) and tuck them into an envelope.  Seal this envelope, label it “In case of medical need” and hang it in a conspicuous place on the fridge. Will they need it?  Likely not.  But if something were to happen, it’s right there, an easy grab on the way out the door.  No looking, no searching.  While I’m confident most facilities would treat a child with an emergency, if there’s any way it could be a smoother process, wouldn’t you want to have the info at hand?

2. Write down ALL allergies, sensitivities and food issues.

This can go into the letter with the medical consent, but it’s also to help remind your chosen caregiver what your kid(s) can/cannot eat, drink, etc.  Maybe you’re reading this thinking I’m crazy because who in their right mind would hire someone who doesn’t already know their kids well enough to know that information? But honestly? People forget.  We’re human. We have good friends and their daughter cannot have peas, she’s very allergic.  And yet every year I offer her sugar snap peas from my garden somehow (hoping this is the year I don’t…) and she laughs at me and reminds me she cannot have them.  It’s not really funny though, but I KNOW her and sometimes, when it’s not something you live with day to day, it’s easy to forget or have things slip your mind.  Better safe than sorry.

Plus, if you have a kid who really cannot have any sugar past 6pm because they’ll be bouncing off the walls for the next four hours, that’s probably something you want to make sure a caregiver is fully aware of.  They might think they’re being nice giving a special treat during a movie and end up not knowing what is going on!

3. Places to go

If your kids are of school age, or have activities at certain times or places, have them all written down for your sitter.  No one knows your routine like you do, and it’s just easier for all if you write it down. Even if they’ve been there once or twice with you on a previous occasion, give the address and name.

Example: 

Friday: Kids get up for school about 7.  All need breakfast, a snack to pack for school, and since it’s pizza on Fridays, they’ll all want to buy hot lunch (Make a note if they’ll need to send lunch money in). Kids need to be out the door waiting for the bus by 8:12.

Kids are done school at 3:25. Bus will drop them off between 3:40 and 3:50 and the bus driver needs to see you before she’ll let them off the bus.

Kid 1 has a baseball game at 5:30, his Coach will pick him up at 5:15. His cell number is 111-222-3333 and his name is Coach Lastname. Please be sure kid 1 has baseball gear, a full water bottle, and his hat.  The coach will bring him home after the game, and they usually last about 90 minutes.  (This way, they can know about when to expect your child to be dropped off, or know when to pick them up)

Saturday:

Kid 2 has tball from 10-1130 at the Grassy Park at 123 Street Name.  She’ll need her glove, hat, team shirt and water bottle.  Please be sure to put sunscreen on her as there’s no shade.  My friend Sue will pick her up at 9:45 and drop her off after the game ends. Her number is 234-567-8910.  She did mention she may have Kid 2 over for a playdate after practice but she will call and update you.

Monday: School day: up at 7, same as Friday morning schedule.  Kids are a pickup on Mondays, so you will need to arrive at the school parking lot by 3:15 and head in to sign them out.  The school address is (address here). You’ll head right over to gymnastics, which is at (gymnastics address).  Kid 2 has her class at 3:55 and Kid 1 has his at 4:30.  He can do homework before his class and she can work on hers when hers is finished. Kid 3 will work on homework or hang out with other siblings.

 

It’s nice to also include the address of your school or activity so that just in case something changes, your sitter knows exactly where to be and when.

4. Comfort

If it’s your first time or your twentieth time, you being away for a few days or even a week can be upsetting for your kids, no matter what age they are. Give your caregiver some guidance as to what helps calm your child or comfort them… again, even if it’s a family member coming to stay, they likely haven’t lived in your home before, and may not know everything about your child(ren).  Taking a few minutes to get that down on paper could be the difference between a really tough day for your kid and for your sitter vs. a sort of rough day that may turn out ok.

5. Money.

Don’t leave a sitter with no funds.  It doesn’t mean they have to keep all of your money, but money for incidentals, take out, delivery or even just gas money is good to leave.  Also just in case of emergency money is nice….for a copay, etc.  I would not want to put someone in the position of having to pay out of their own pocket for something for my child like that, so I’d prefer to leave a caregiver with money.

What we are planning to do is to add funds to a  Kaiku prepaid card to leave for my niece. We can load it with, say, $300 and that way, we know that if anything comes up, or she is not wanting to cook or things get hectic (it happens!!) she has money to use. This way, there’s no risk of cash being misplaced, she can tuck it right into her wallet, and if need be, I can actually add more funds remotely if need be. It can also double as a way for her to manage funds.

With the Kaiku Prepaid card, there are no activation fees, usage fees, card declined fees and currency conversion fees. You sign up, choose your card color (I went as close to pink as I was able to) and once it arrives in your mailbox, you activate and add funds.  Easy, peasy. I can leave a sum of money that’s safe and secure for use while we’re away, and know that if something comes up that my caregiver has access to a way to pay for it. THERE ARE NO ACTIVATION FEES, NO CARD DECLINED FEES, AND NO CURRENCY CONVERSION FEES…so you know up front what will be covered and what won’t.

Plus, she can keep it to use afterwards, or we can continue to use it if we want for our own use. It’s a great tool for younger (and older) folks to learn a bit about money management and how credit cards work- although there’s not a credit limit, because you’ve prepaid. So if you try to overspend, your card won’t work- but you’re not building debt. It’s, in my opinion, a great way to start teaching about how to use a credit card and be mindful of spending. Snapping a photo of a paycheck and uploading to Kaiku’s app is how easy adding funds is to this card.

THE KAIKU CARD OFFERS SIMPLICITY. There are only two fees: a low monthly maintenance fee and an out-of-network ATM fee. If you avoid out-of-network ATMS then it’s just $3 a month – and that’s easy to do, since this card may be used at any of the 55,000 Allpoint surcharge-free ATMs worldwide. Kaiku was recently given the Visa Clear Prepaid Designation and secondly the $3 fee can be waived with a $750 deposit each month. Even more reason to go with a prepaid card!

Just a note- if you are using Kaiku to help teach your kids about how to manage money, there’s a cool new feature to the Kaiku mobile app the “Funds-ometer,” which simply tracks card users’ spending and compares it to their average over the past 60 days in non-essential categories, like eating out and entertainment. Over time, you can start to see your spending habits and learn from that information as the parent of a card user, or even for yourself (I wonder what would show for coffee stops while I’m doing errands…or maybe I’m better not knowing!!)

Leaving your kid(s) with an overnight babysitter isn’t for all of us. And that’s ok.  But for those of us who find that we need to or just want to (and that’s ok too!), taking some time to follow these steps can help you to make sure that everyone knows where and when they need to be, and that they have assistance should an emergency arise.
Thank you to Kaiku for inspiring this post with the fabulous Unicorn Pink card sent. Opinions are my own.

POLICIES for LABOR & DELIVERY OVERNIGHTS (care of older children while parent/s is in the hospital) 

​​

NOTE: because Colorado has an overtime law requiring overtime for any shift > 12 hours for non-exempt (protected) workers, L&D bookings may accrue overtime.  

 

PRICING

  • Agency Booking Charge $35.00/night (this covers the day your sitter arrives + the next morning after the overnight)​

  • overnight rate: $15.00/hour ages 1 year and up, covers 1 to 4 children for up to 8 hours (federal wage laws limit overnight rate to 8 hours)

  • overnight rate: $18.00/hour ages < 1 year (if qualified infant caregiver is available)

    • does not apply to night nanny care where worker will be awake/waking periodically for the majority of the shift 

    • does not apply for any hours that children wake and require care (bottle feed, nightmare, etc.)

    • waking hours are invoiced at the standard hourly rate and wake time is charged in one hour increments 

  • overnight stays in relation to federal and state overtime law:

    • With very few exceptions, domestic workers, including babysitters and nannies, are classified as “non-exempt” (protected) workers. There may be exceptions for casual babysitters, meaning “employment which is irregular or intermittent, and which is not performed by an individual whose vocation is babysitting.” Read the Federal Code of Regulation § 552.5 here. The agency typically categorizes occasional overnight sitting as casual sitting if the provider is not your nanny, however, we cannot professionally advise you regarding this. We recommend that you consult with your own legal counsel or tax service for wage and overtime questions. If you pay an overnight babysitter as a non-exempt (protected worker), then: 

    • Non-exempt workers are entitled to pay for every hour worked at a rate that may not be less than the federal, state and, if applicable, local minimum wage rate.

    • Overtime (time-and-a-half) is paid for each hour over 40 in a 7-day workweek. Under Colorado state wage law, non-exempt domestic workers must be paid overtime (time-and-a-half) for hours worked in excess of 12 hours in one workday, or 12 consecutive hours regardless of the day. per federal law, sitters and nannies are classified as domestic workers, must be paid hourly for all hours/minutes worked, and cannot be paid salary, a flat rate or a lump sum

    • per federal law, any time worked > 40 hours in a 7 day week must be paid a rate of 1.5x the standard hourly rate

    • per Colorado law, time worked > 12 in a single day, or worked consecutively regardless of day, must be paid a rate of 1.5x the standard hourly rate.​

FAQs

1. Do I need to pay a sitter while they are sleeping and my child is sleeping? Yes, and our standard rate is $15.00/hour for 8 sleeping hours (typically 10:00 pm to 6:00 am).

 

2. How do I calculate overtime? Start by tallying up the total consecutive hours in each shift (i.e. 5:00 pm nanny arrival to 11:00 am parent return home = 18 hours in the sitter’s shift). In this case you pay overtime for hours 13 to 18. Federal law requires that overtime pay be calculated from the standard hourly daytime rate, not the reduced $15. 00 overnight rate. 

 

3. My child might wake up at night ( bad dream etc.) and want to get in bed with the sitter. Is this ok?  Children cannot share a bed with a babysitter. Sitters should be compassionate and comfort your child of course, however they must place your child back in their own bed. If your child does not get back to sleep yet without getting into bed with a grownup, it’s not time yet to book our overnight sitters. It will be soon! 

4. My child has night terrors. Can we book an overnight sitter? We cannot book for overnights but would love to help your family during the day.  

5. My child sleepwalks. Can we book an overnight sitter? Possibly. In general we don’t advise overnights for a child in a sleepwalking phase but contact us. We will ask about the safety items (door locks, baby gates etc.) in place to protect your child and what they typically do while sleepwalking.

Dec. 2006

I would like to know what is a reasonable price to pay someone who will sleep at my house while my kids are asleep. My kids are 5 and will be asleep when the childcare person arrives & will not wake up until about 7 a.m. The childcare person will then take care of them for 2 – 3 hours. I am not sure if there is a flat rate for staying overnight ( and what is that) & then I pay by the hour or if I should offer a flat rate for the whole thing & if so what is a fair amount. Thanks ginny


We pay our sitter a flat fee of $50 for the ”core sleeping time” of 9 pm to 7 am. For any time she is there before or after that, we pay her usual hourly rate (happens to be $15). I am curious to know how others reply since I have no idea what ”market rates” are.
Linda


Jan 2006

I’m looking for advice on what to pay for overnight childcare. We have a 2-year old, whom we’re considering leaving at home with her nanny for a few days (24 hrs x 3-4 days) while we travel. I’ve checked the archives and haven’t seen any recent postings (and the rates suggested seemed incredibly low). I’d like to make a fair offer. Any guidance will be appreciated. — Ann


I pay her regular rate for all awake hours (between 6 am and 8 pm, in our house), plus $50 a night, plus extra so that she can buy food (or I buy food for her to eat, like frozen pizzas, etc.). It’s a hard job to stay for the weekend, especially if they worked for you all week, and I think they should be well compensated. anon


Jan 2005

I am wondering how much people are now (2004/2005) paying for both overnight and/or weekend childcare. I pay my occasional babysitter $15 per hour which I think is on the high end but she is reliable. However, I can’t afford to pay that much for a weekend and an overnight especially when a lot of that time she doesn’t really need to do much. The youngest child is 91/2. Has anyone had recent experience with this – the listings are from 2003 and I know the going rate now must be higher. Anon


Our babysitter charges $100 a day for weekend/overnight care, i.e. leaving Saturday and coming home Sunday is $200 regardless of how late we leave or arrive.


I am a local nanny and I used to do overnights a lot with my last family. They paid me my full hourly wage until 8pm (or whatever time the kids went down) and half my hourly wage through the night until whatever time the kids woke. That worked for me and they seemed happy with the arrangement too. I think if you ask her to do other household stuff like putting laundry through, tidying the kitchen, cleaning up the nursery, etc. after the kids go to sleep you should pay her her full wage until shes all through with those tasks. berkeley governess


Babysitting fees varies on how experienced a babysitter is,referral etc. I AGREE with you that $15.00 is on the high end. I have a reliable sitter who charges me a rate of $9.00 per hour, for 2 kids. She is a newcomer and speaks little english but is very sweet with my kids and takes good care of them. (She will even feed them dinner for us!). She lives in Albany, Ca. if you care for her number just write me an email.


Jan 2003

My husband and I are taking a four day trip and leaving our 2 yr. old at home with her part-time nanny while we’re gone. I’d like to get some input on what people are paying child care providers for overnight/24 hr. care. What’s the going rate? (The 4 days we’ll be gone are not days our nanny would normally watch our daughter, if that makes a difference.) Thanks.


For overnights, I pay the regular hourly rate for the hours that the nanny is awake, and half the hourly rate for hours she’s asleep. You could also ask the nanny what she thinks is fair (which may be less than this). Fran


May 2002

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions of what to pay an overnight babysitter. We usually pay her $12 an hour. What would be a fair rate to pay her for a 24 hour shift? Thank you very much for your feedback! Madeleine


We only did it once (when our second child was being born) and we paid $75 for the time from 8 pm to 6am (when our daughter sleeps) and the babysitter’s usual rate of $12 an hour for the awake hours. Recently our son’s former nanny offered to take both of our children to her house overnight for free as a mother’s day gift to me. I was delighted and relieved since the per/hour cost seems to me prohibitive. I got the sense that she was happy to give away the service as a favor if it could be at her house. C.G.


Feb 2001

We are considering asking our current sitter to stay overnight with our then almost 3 year old son when our baby is born in late October. It would most likely entail a couple hours each in the evening and the morning with our son awake, but the rest of the time he would be sleeping. I am wondering if there are going rates for this kind of sitting. Lucy


I currently pay my babysitter $50 for a 24-hour period. I leave my daughter with her. I pay her this amount because my daughter is 4 and can take care of herself in most situations. The babysitter is licensed for daycare in her home and has two children of her own (one is 6, the other 8 months) so I feel comfortable leaving her there. Also, she is more like a companion for the older child. I think this is fair.


The woman I use for occasional child care (formerly known as baby sitting) has loads of experience and I pay her $100/night. this includes picking up my son from day care by 5:30, doing all of the nightly chores (dinner, bed time, etc.), doing the morning chores (breakfast, dressing, etc.) and taking him to day care at about 9 a. m. I suggest setting the hours for the over night slot, and anything outside of that will be paid at the hourly rate. My person came up with the $100 after talking with other folks. I didn’t think it was too expensive because I completely trust this person and that is worth a lot to me. Good luck. Mona


When I was working as a nanny and was asked to stay overnight, I charged my regular hourly rate for anytime the children were awake, plus a set fee for the overnight. It was awhile ago and the hourly was $5/hr and the overnight fee was $10/night. But, it was a number of nights not just one, so it added up and seemed fair to me as the worker. Lynn


Oct 2000

As a nanny who has done overnights on several occasions here is how I charged the families I stayed with. My normal rate is $10.00 per hour. I charge that from the time the kids woke up (7:00am) -their bed time (9:00pm)…then the over night was a flat fee of $50.00. I hope that is helpful to any and everyone. Melissa

How to find a nanny for a child

Some time ago, young mothers did not even think about a quick return to work – they calmly sat on three-year maternity leave and took care of their children. Today, the situation has changed dramatically: some mothers lack full-fledged communication, others (they are the majority) lack financial resources. As a result, many mothers are looking for nannies for their babies, who have barely reached the age of two or three months. But nannies are different, and the baby is the only one, dear and beloved.

Nanny at home, visiting nanny, live-in nanny

This can be a person from an agency or a “friend of friends”. The schedule is negotiated in advance, child care is carried out right at your home.
Pros:

  • No need to take the baby anywhere
  • The child is in a familiar environment.
  • The rhythm of his life does not change.

Cons:

  • Expenses for the nanny’s salary, her travel to your house and meals.
  • The presence of a stranger in the house in your absence.

Home to the nanny

Usually such a nanny raises the child herself and wants to combine upbringing with replenishment of the budget.
Pros:

  • A nanny’s salary will cost less money than professional nannies.
  • No need to pay for food and babysitting.
  • The baby will not be bored if the nanny has her own child.

Cons:

  • The road to the nanny and back will be burdensome for both you and the baby.
  • Being with someone else’s aunt, and even in a strange place, is stressful for a child.
  • A nanny who has her own children will not be able to pay due attention to your baby.
  • As far as legal and medical aspects, you are in a losing position.
  • Pedagogical and medical education for such a home-based nanny is a rarity.

This nanny differs from the previous home nanny in that she has the appropriate license to provide educational services.

Pros:

  • Finding a child among his peers.
  • Easier learning of the right skills.
  • The absence of a mother affects the child less severely.

Cons:

  • The risk for the child to “pick up” any infection from other children (starting with SARS and ending with measles, rubella, etc.).
  • From a psychological point of view: the presence of a child under three years old in kindergarten is not recommended.
  • A nanny who takes care of several children at once will not be able to give the necessary attention to your child.

Nanny-governess

The duties of such a nanny, in addition to the complex of traditional services, also include teaching your child a foreign language, as well as vocational preparation for school. Such a nanny will cost more than others. The only negative is the cost of services.

Babysitter

Your good friend or friend acts as a babysitter.
Pluses:

  • It is easier to entrust a child to a friend than to a stranger.
  • There is no doubt that the child will be treated well and fed on time.
  • As a rule, the payment of such a nanny is not even implied.

Cons:

  • It will be very difficult to make a claim to a friend in case of a force majeure situation.

Nanny-grandmother by advertisement

Such a nanny is usually found through advertisements that you submit (post) or through acquaintances.

Pros:

  • Nanny life experience.
  • Increased level of responsibility and care.
  • Lower fees compared to professional nannies.

Cons:

  • It is very difficult for an elderly person to keep track of a moving child.
  • If something happens to an elderly nanny (and health problems in old age, of course, are not ruled out), this can cause serious stress for the child. Not to mention the fact that in this case he remains left to himself.

Nanny – young neighbor, nanny teenager, nanny neighbor

Such nannies are popular abroad (baby-sitters). They work for two or three hours, looking after the baby in the absence of mom and dad. It is believed that the development of a child with such a young nanny is more active. One of the advantages is the low cost of services. As for the cons, the most important is the lack of proper experience. That is, a young nanny can do a lot, adore your child (and, as a rule, this adoration is mutual), understand household appliances and other necessary things, but may not notice that the baby fell unsuccessfully, that he had a fever, etc.

Where and how to find a nanny?

No matter how urgently you need a nanny, take your time. Patiently choose until you understand – this is it. Still, you entrust the nanny not with the protection of your belongings, but with the most precious creature on earth – your baby. So where to look for it?

  • As advertised.
    There are several options: post ads on poles and entrances of nearby houses, buy a newspaper or place them on the Internet. The cost of babysitting services will be inexpensive, and the agency will not have to pay. Minus: a stranger from the street in your house. That is, this nanny may turn out to be just a thief, a gunner, a lover of other people’s husbands, or even worse (we will not even consider this terrible option). Of course, you might get lucky. And according to your ad, a real modern Mary Poppins will call (sometimes strangers are closer than relatives), but it’s better not to risk it.
  • Relatives, acquaintances and acquaintances of acquaintances.
    This “cry” is the fastest way to find a nanny. And the person who responds will most likely be old enough, experienced, and won’t take much money (or even won’t take it at all). Cons: whether you like it or not, but you will have to regularly listen to the “correct” opinion about the upbringing of your “bloon”, and all information about what is happening in your house will be available to all relatives and friends.
  • Nanny from the agency.
    Fashionable, fast, reliable and expensive way. There is nowhere easier: one call to the agency, formulating your wishes, and … the nanny is already ringing at your door. There are many pluses: experience as a nanny, the ability to choose from hair color to the education and age of the nanny, and you can also choose prices for a nanny that suits you. But the most important thing is a thorough check of the staff in the agency. That is, you can be sure that they will not send you a person without education, a medical book and with a criminal record.

Interviewing a nanny – what questions to ask

Psychologists say that the first impression is the most important. In many ways, yes, although one can argue. What questions to ask a potential nanny:

  1. So, for starters, you should pay attention to the clock . Punctuality is one of the indicators of human responsibility. Late even for an interview? Feel free to cross her off the list of candidates.
  2. Appearance. High heels, miniskirts and war paint are just as unacceptable as slovenliness. In addition, you should pay attention to the expression of the nanny’s face at the meeting. Negative facial expressions, grimaces and obvious insincerity are a reason to say goodbye.
  3. Experience and education. Looking for a babysitter? Medical education is required. Experience is the same. There is no need to talk about personal qualities, such as love for children.
  4. Nanny’s health. Of course, the nanny must be healthy. A medical book is required. As well as the absence of such diseases as AIDS, HIV, psychiatric and skin-venereological diseases (require a certificate, test results). As for age and general physical condition, the nanny should have enough strength to care for an active mobile baby.
  5. Former employers. It would not be superfluous to inquire about the reasons for parting with previous employers. Better yet, get their coordinates and talk in person.
  6. Presence of children. If your nanny’s children have already grown up (and even better – they have grown up), then you will not have such problems as sudden sick leave and days off, as well as short absences during the day.
  7. Nanny’s place of residence. The ideal situation is if the nanny lives close to you.
  8. Spending time with a child. Ask how she usually spends time with her child. It is clear that the answer should not be limited to walking and feeding.
  9. Bad habits. A nanny who has bad habits should not be allowed to take care of a child.

Tricky Questions – How to Test a Nanny

Make no mistake when choosing a nanny!

  • “How do you see the ideal child?”. In this case, calmness and obedience of the child is not the best answer. The kid should smile and enjoy life.
  • “What is your favorite everyday meal?” . Fast food and dumplings – definitely not suitable. Fricasse of rabbit in wine sauce – too.
  • “What will you do if the baby falls (hits, burns, etc.)?” . The answer should contain not only information about the provision of first aid, but also the assurance of the nanny that she will notify the parents of the injury.
  • “Were there any mistakes in your practice?” . Everyone is wrong. The reaction to the answer depends on the sincerity of the nanny.
  • “Which cartoons did your previous pupil like? “. The ideal nanny knows everything about the children being brought up.

Don’t forget to ask for your child’s opinion. If the baby, at the sight of the nanny, hides in horror in a corner and refuses to even greet her, then you can immediately say goodbye to the nanny.

How to behave with a nanny?

After you have decided on the choice of a nanny, the next step is to conclude an agreement. The contract stipulates all points, details and features of cooperation – from duties and work schedule to solving force majeure situations. Even if your nanny is not from the agency, and you found her yourself through an ad, you should conclude this contract.

  • The first few days – the time of “grinding” to each other mother, nanny and baby. During this period of time, you can understand how the baby treats the nanny, how the nanny treats him, what methods the nanny uses in upbringing, whether he takes his duties responsibly.
  • Teach your babysitter how to use your home appliances . Make a list of all the important little things that she needs to know about (malfunctions in the equipment, bad wiring, etc.).
  • Leave all your contact information for the babysitter – phone numbers, work address, necessary emergency numbers, etc.
  • Do not treat your nanny as a member of your family, and do not discuss your family matters in front of her and problems.

Nanny for a child. How to play it safe?

Unfortunately, even the most thorough check may not protect against human dishonesty. How to “lay straws” in order to feel more or less calm for your baby, left with a stranger?

  • Periodically come home “suddenly” , and not after work, at the usual time. So you can see what exactly the nanny is doing, whether the child is left unattended in another room, whether he is cleanly dressed, whether his hands are washed, etc.
  • Ask neighbors to watch your babysitter and baby if possible (this is usually possible during babysitting and baby walks). That is, to see how the nanny behaves with the child, how the baby reacts, what exactly they do on a walk.
  • The child is the main “indicator” of the nanny’s conscientiousness. If the baby is happy, tidy, full, cheerful, rejoices at the nanny’s arrival, then everything is fine. If the baby becomes capricious, his condition and mood change, and in the morning he parted with you with a tantrum, you should understand the situation.
  • Even if you completely trust the nanny, hidden camera and voice recorder will not interfere with you. From work, you can watch the actions of the nanny via the Internet (when installing a webcam). This equipment does not require serious financial investments, and you can install it yourself. To warn the nanny that she is “removed by a hidden camera”, or not, is a master’s business. But usually nannies who know about video control are more disciplined in their behavior.

And remember that a nanny is a mother’s helper, and nothing more. She will not be able to replace your baby’s mother .

Where to turn if there is no one to leave the child with during hospitalization – Moscow 24, 03/31/2020

The coronavirus epidemic continues to sweep across Russia. As of March 31, there are 2,337 infected people in the country, with the vast majority of them in Moscow. Some patients have mild COVID-19 and are allowed to be treated at home. However, most of the infected have to be sent to the hospital. And it may well happen that due to emergency hospitalization, minor family members will be left at home alone – without food, water and support. We tell how Moscow helps families where children, due to a number of circumstances, are left at home unattended.

Who needs help

A memo on what to do if children are left unattended while parents are in the hospital was developed by lawyers from family centers in the capital. The algorithm of actions is not suitable for all cases: social services and law enforcement agencies will work with the “cuckoo mothers”.

The information published by the Department of Labor and Social Protection is intended primarily for single parent families who need emergency assistance with child care. And it applies not only to cases of hospitalization precisely because of COVID-19., the mechanism works with any hospitalization, even planned.

It may happen that a mother, father or guardian, raising a child alone, ends up in a hospital, which is especially important in modern realities. The child will need supervision and company – in the form of grandparents, other relatives or close friends of the family. This would be the best and least stressful option for the child.

However, help may not arrive immediately or may not be available at all due to various circumstances. You should not worry: social services will do everything possible not to leave the baby in trouble.

In case of emergency hospitalization

If a child is left without a parent or guardian, he will not only be checked and fed: the baby will be provided with a temporary place of residence – in a family center, a center for promoting family education or a rehabilitation center. But it’s impossible to predict an emergency, and if the ambulance is already picking up a parent or guardian, you should do the following.

Notify the doctor

In case of an emergency admission, the parent or guardian must tell the primary care physician of the outpatient clinic or the attending physician of the hospital where they are being sent – the name, number and address of the facility. He must also notify that a minor child remains at the specified address.

Psychologists advise negotiating a password with a small child, under which he will not be afraid and will open the door to the appropriate services for assistance.

Notice to Guardians

This will no longer be a parent. After the call, the doctor himself must contact the territorial bodies of guardianship and guardianship, specialists from the department of social protection and tell about the situation in the family.

The further stay of the child will be determined by social security

After receiving the notification, social protection, together with the police, immediately arrives at the place so that the child does not remain alone for a long time. Already in the apartment, they determine the subsequent whereabouts of the minor for the time that his parent or guardian will be treated in the hospital. There are different options for referral:

  • to a medical organization to the parent (if possible) or another, if the child himself also needs help;
  • to a temporary residence institution – a family center, a family education support center or a rehabilitation center;
  • to relatives for temporary care.

The current epidemiological situation is making its own adjustments. As part of preventing the spread of coronavirus, as well as providing timely assistance, today the child will first be admitted to the hospital and will undergo an appropriate examination, and only then, if everything is in order, will he go to a family center with an inpatient department – for constant supervision.

No one takes the child away

The intervention of social services in these circumstances does not mean that the child has been taken away from the parent. The guardian and the child can keep in touch by phone at all times. The parent will also be required to report on all movements of the minor. And as soon as he undergoes treatment and is discharged from the hospital, he will immediately be able to take the child home.

What to do during a planned hospitalization

During a planned hospitalization, the mechanism for providing care for a child is slightly different. Notify the relevant authorities in advance and independently.

Contact the nearest family center

There are 30 family centers in Moscow – in each district of the capital. If you understand that you are going to be hospitalized or have a long trip on which you cannot take your child with you, and there is no one to leave him with, then contact one of the organizations. It is advisable to choose the nearest center.

You can also contact the hospital or the guardianship authorities with a request. They will help you find the right solution for your situation.

List of documents

Of course, the child will not be taken to the family center just like that. It will be necessary to provide his passport or birth certificate, the parent’s own passport. If we are talking about a guardian, he will need to show a document that allows him to represent the interests of the child.

You will also be asked for an application for the provision of social services, as well as a document confirming their need: a referral for hospitalization, a certificate from a doctor, a travel document, and so on.

Time for confirmation

Specialists will also need time to check all submitted documents, find out the situation in the family, confirm the reasons and circumstances for applying to the family center. Then they will set the time for which the child needs to go to the institution. And only after that the child will be able to move to the family center.

As in the case of emergency hospitalization, the parent will be able to safely communicate with his child. And as soon as the opportunity arises, take him home.

During the stay of a child in a family center, he/she is on state support, which includes six meals a day, clothes and shoes according to the season and age. Schoolchildren continue to attend classes, children have the opportunity to meet and communicate with their relatives. The institutions also organize a leisure program, and, if necessary, provide medical and psychological assistance.

Openness and constant communication

Psychologist Pavel Zhavnerov, in an interview with Moscow 24, noted that for children, time apart from a parent, especially in case of emergency hospitalization, can become a serious stress – even if he remains under the care of relatives or close friends of the family. However, a parent can help the child survive this time without unnecessary nerves.

“To smooth the situation, first of all, make sure that everything is transparent and understandable. Explain to the child why you have to go to the hospital, how things are going with your health. He must clearly understand what is happening and how. And if in family center will confirm this information, the child will be calm: everything is fine,” the psychologist said.

Be sure to maintain constant contact with the child so that he knows: firstly, he was not abandoned, and secondly, everything is fine with the parent. If communication is constant, the child will trust the parent and be more calm about the situation.

In addition, the specialist advised to discuss the moment of separation with the child in advance if the hospitalization is planned. Then the parent will be able to respond in advance to the largest number of questions that arise. And the child will be more calm about separation, as he will know everything about the reasons and the place where he will have to go.

“And then everything will depend on the child himself: how communicative and open he is, the easier it will be for him to survive this time,” the psychologist concluded.

On March 11, WHO officially declared the novel coronavirus a global pandemic. Europe has become the center of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 697 thousand people have already been infected in the world, more than 33 thousand have died. There are more than 2,000 cases of coronavirus in Russia so far.

What to do if the husband does not help with the child?

Parental forums are full of women’s complaints about their husbands: he does not help with the child, does not get up at night, divides household chores into “men’s” and “women’s” and keeps waiting until the baby grows up to play football with him. We decided to talk about this with family counselor Nina Hoffman and found out that the situation needs to be considered from two sides. Many fathers simply do not write on the Internet about how they feel after the birth of a child. How to distribute responsibilities and make sure that there is peace and mutual assistance in the family, says the specialist.

What do you think: is the problem of “husband not helping with children” a global one or can such complaints be heard only from Russian mothers?

Of course, this problem exists not only in Russia. But in countries where a patriarchal approach to family relations is preserved, it is more tangible. Although the point here is not only in patriarchy, but in principle in the difference between the concepts of motherhood and fatherhood. Globally, motherhood and fatherhood are completely different things, no matter how we try to equate them today.

Functionally they can be compared. For example, in Israel, fathers are actively involved in childcare. But profoundly, motherhood and fatherhood are different. It is impossible to determine what is more important or less important. They are at different poles, it is not very correct to compare them, in my opinion.

The child grows for 9 months inside the mother: knows the timbre of her voice, smell, feels her nervous vibrations. The connection with the mother during the first few months is more significant. Mom is the first guide of the child into the world. And although the baby also knows the father, especially if the father was present at the birth and took the newborn in his arms, at first all this cannot be compared with contact with the mother.

At the first stage, the mother needs the father more than the child. Mom needs his support: feed, create good conditions. For the first months, a woman is immersed in feeding, caring for a baby. At this time, she needs her husband’s help more in everyday life and less in the context of communication with the child. Such care strengthens the bond between a man and a woman.

But it is precisely at this moment that most often a mother or mother-in-law comes to help a woman who has recently given birth, pushing her father aside. Maybe this is where all the problems begin?

There is nothing wrong with one woman helping another, it is a natural part of life. A mother or sister who has herself gone through childbearing may be better at caring for a new mother than a man. Nevertheless, during this period, it is important that it is the husband who is there, providing everything necessary for the mother and child.

It is best if, at least for the first 10 days after the birth of a baby, a man can take a vacation and stay at home with just the three of us, in order to understand how the life of the family has changed and get used to the new situation.

It is also important to prepare in advance: everyone should state their expectations from a partner for the first period after childbirth, it is even worth trying to write them down.

Fathers of newborns do this very often now. But why, after the first weeks spent together, do not all husbands get involved in caring for the child?

It is very important to understand what generally happens in a couple during this period. First, having a baby is a lot of stress. For all. There were two family members and suddenly there were three. And the third is a person with a huge number of needs. All habitual ways are collapsing, logistics is changing, responsibility and guilt for one’s parental inexperience appears.

Isn’t it at this moment that a man also begins to be jealous, demanding special attention from a woman and moving away from a child?

Each member of the family during this period should be tried to understand. The woman is completely immersed in caring for the baby. Husband and wife are deprived of intimacy for some time. And even after physical contact becomes possible, many women have a severe decrease in sexual desire due to fatigue, lack of sleep, sometimes due to an overabundance of tactile sensations. Kinesthetic women experience this especially painfully: when the child finally goes to bed, they want no one to touch them at all. And the man stays away.

Or, for example, in a co-sleeping situation, dad moves into another room on the sofa. A husband and wife do not have the opportunity not only to have sex, but simply to hug and stroke each other. This reinforces the emotional gap. Glances disappear, special words understandable only to two. Violated intimate space, which is an important basis for partnerships. It’s getting harder for people to get along.

Instead of two loving people, a couple “mother and child” appears, and somewhere on the side – dad. Men can interpret everything that happens as “they don’t need me anymore.”

Of course, I will make a reservation that we are talking about the average variant. Everything happens differently for everyone.

In such a situation, it is also very important to talk about your feelings – both for a man and a woman. Set aside time for this and talk about what points get in the way, what you would like to change, and come to an agreement. For example, if co-sleeping “expels” dad from the bed or even from the bedroom, this voice is also worth hearing, finding a compromise that suits everyone.

Of course, it is difficult for everyone, and everyone has different expectations, but the fundamental question remains: should a man and a woman be equally involved in the process of caring for a child?

I don’t really like the word “should”. “Must – must not” – does not work. Mom and dad each give their own – this is the key point. I believe that the role of a father in a child’s life is exceptional. The father is the gender model for boys and the opposite sex for girls. The role of the father is exclusive. She is mega-important, while being different from the role of a mother. The father cannot breastfeed the baby, and it may be more difficult for him to calm the baby at first, but the father is very important in the separation process. It is easier for him to let go of a child than for a mother.

I’m not just talking about the fact that children go to kindergarten easier with dads. I mean separation in the early stages. Mom not only has to feed the baby, she must begin to slowly let him go. Let’s take self-sleeping as an example. Mom knows that the child already knows how to do something, but it is more difficult for her to let him go. One thinks: “What if she starts crying? What if he can’t?” All these things are easier for dad. He can do it if given the opportunity. It is very important. And this gives the child self-confidence. Teaches him how to deal with difficulties. Dads often rage with children, throw them up, they, as a rule, react more calmly to falls and injuries.

Here it is important that mom trusts dad: try not to think that he does not care about the child’s feelings or that the child will fall and break his neck. Dad cares about the health and safety of the child, he just reacts to many things differently.

These are just examples, but if in general, it is not the same involvement that is important, but that everyone is involved in the process in their own way, so that both parents are always present in the life of the child and each gives him something of his own.

Good. But can dads change diapers at the same time? Here is a typical situation: the baby is crying, the mother says to her husband: “Change the diaper, please!”, the father replies: “Oh, I can’t, I can’t do it, you are doing everything better!” And what to do?

Of course it can. At first, mom also doesn’t always change diapers well, but since she has already changed dozens, she is more deft at it. Need practice. If dad says, “You’re better at this, I can’t,” and mom says, “Well, okay!”, she “cooperates” with her husband’s uncertainty and continues to do everything herself.

And if a mother hears “I’m not doing well” and tries to understand what is behind it, there are chances to change everything. For example, it may be behind this: “I’m scared, I’m afraid to hurt him!”. With this phrase, dad shows that he is waiting for approval and permission to try after all. And if at this moment a woman says: “Darling, you are so tender sometimes, I know. I am absolutely sure that you will not do anything bad to our child! And I need to take a shower, ”dad will do everything right, although not the first time.

Very often problems start when dad is not heard. Hearing a husband does not mean starting to study like a small child (second or eldest), but understanding that a man also has difficulties and needs that need to be accepted. And you need to do this at least so that the husband can also hear his wife.

That is, each of the parents still has their own area of ​​responsibility, but a woman does not need to fully take care of the child?

Skewed responsibility is not good for either side: neither mother nor father. The main thing here is interaction and trust. For example, mom went to the shower and hears – the child is yelling. She jumps out of the shower and rushes to “protect” the baby, turning to her father: “What are you doing? He cries all the time! Why can’t you do everything neater?” At this moment, it is important for a woman to realize that nothing terrible has happened to the child.

If a baby cries because of something that is unusual for him or because right now he wants to be with his mother, and not with his father, he will not have a psychological trauma from this. And there is no need to save from dad. Such a reaction of the mother will lead to the fact that the father will be even more insecure in his actions and will even more want to withdraw himself.

What can mom do? Firstly, to understand that she has hormones and not always adequate reactions to the crying of a child (and this is normal!). Well, if the husband understands this too. It is imperative to talk about this. Secondly, try not to criticize your husband, because next time he will have less desire to try to do the same. Thirdly, it is worth involving the husband even before the birth in preparation.

For example, you can reconsider the distribution of responsibilities, make lists of who wants to and can do what. You can also agree on the age at which the child’s father is ready to stay alone with him so that the mother can “breathe” a little (then by this time it is necessary to accustom the baby to a bottle or express milk if the child is only breastfed). If mom wants to go out in the evenings, then it is necessary that by this time the baby can fall asleep not only at the breast, then dad will also have the opportunity to put him down. You need to go through specific examples and make specific decisions. But the main thing is to remove criticism.

Criticism is generally not constructive in relationships, especially if the older generation also joins in.

Yes, there should be no criticism from relatives either. It is important to discuss this moment with grandmothers. For example: “Mom, I am very glad for your help, but please do not force your husband out. It is important for me that he learns to do everything himself! In no case, please, do not take the child from his hands when he takes it. Dads have an initiative, but sometimes they just stop it. A father with a child must be given time together. Show and emphasize that the child is common.

But something will help to establish intra-family communication?

Most problems can be solved with words. For example, a mother is alone with her baby all day. She just dreams that someone will replace her. Maybe she thinks about it all day. She is tired, she has no more strength.

But dad, who comes home from work in the evening, is also tired. He enters the house and without warning receives the child in his arms. Without dinner and minimal rest. This is where the complete misunderstanding begins on both sides. The problem can be solved with words. Everything needs to be negotiated.

For example, when a husband is driving home from work, a wife might say how she feels and what she expects from him: “Today was a hard day! I am waiting for you to hand over the child. Get ready: you will come, wash your hands and I will give it to you!”. A man, at least internally, will be ready for what awaits him. Or he will tell his wife why he is not ready to take the baby right away (perhaps he also had a hard day). It is important that parents can agree, discuss what is happening and understand each other.

To the question of what needs to be discussed in advance. What do you think it is necessary to say before the birth of children?

First of all, you need to say the fundamental points: who and how sees his contribution to the upbringing and care of children. People generally don’t talk much about it, but in vain! It is important to talk about approaches to education, what kind of parent does each of the couple see themselves as? Does the future husband want to participate in the preparation for childbirth, will he be present at the birth? How he sees the life and financial support of the family after the birth of children. This is not a questionnaire, but an agreement on expectations, an attempt to understand what will happen next.

It seems to a man and a woman that love will solve all problems, but this is not so. In such conversations, you can also voice your fears and concerns. In general, before the birth of children, you need to talk as much as possible about what awaits a married couple. And try to understand what everyone can count on.

Why do you think it is difficult for women to say, “Help me with the baby!” and ask for something specific?

It is important to learn how to talk about your feelings. We are all bad at this, but it is important. Understand what you want. Dialogue works best in any pair. At the first stages, it is best for a mother to deal only with a child and understand that help from loved ones is most needed in everyday life. But the point is that we keep our expectations to ourselves and wait for everything to resolve itself. Many women get offended if they have to beg. But we still don’t have telepathy, so it’s okay to ask. I wish it was not necessary to ask, but there is nothing wrong with asking. Universal way: speak. Nothing better has come up yet.

The family is a system in which every part of it is important. Everyone is responsible for making sure their part of the system works well. The main thing is to see the situation through the eyes of a loved one. Understand what is behind “I don’t want, I won’t.” It is important to hear the motives of actions, to understand why a person behaves this way and not otherwise. Behind the cliche “a man should not take care of a child, because this is a woman’s business” can be both a personal story and problems coming from childhood. All this can be learned by talking to each other. And at the same time, everyone can and should take their share of responsibility without blaming each other. If a man is afraid to approach a child, it is his responsibility to declare this. And if a woman feels that she is already on the verge, her responsibility is to say it out loud.

To be honest, I get the feeling that everything has come down on women again. It is also quite difficult for a tired, tortured mother to figure out exactly how she should turn to her husband for help so as not to hurt him. What could you say to mothers?

It is very important to understand: I do not mean that the responsibility for everything that happens lies only with the woman. I emphasize that everyone is responsible for their part. Yes, the period is very difficult for the whole family, and especially for young mothers. Therefore, it is especially important to listen to yourself, understand and articulate your needs and be able to voice them to your husband. Often we are so absorbed in the child that we do not see ourselves or our husband behind the worries. I strongly advise all young mothers to take care of themselves and their needs first of all: the child first of all needs a mother, and the better she feels emotionally and physically, the child will be calmer. If mom does well, everyone will win, and first of all, the closest people – the family!

JSC “Medical Initiative” – ​​Caring for a sick child

What to do when the temperature rises?

The most important thing is bed and drinking modes. With a high temperature (above 38.5), it is important to limit the activity of the child, as running, cycling and other physical activities lead to an increase in temperature. First of all, the baby should be undressed to a T-shirt and underpants, while it is advisable to use cotton clothes, cover with a light sheet, and in case of chills, with a warm blanket until the chills, reddening of the skin or warming stop.

To keep the baby in bed, you need to spend time with him in an interesting way, for example, tell a story or turn on music. It should be remembered that at a high temperature, visual load is undesirable for a child (watching TV, playing on a console or computer, drawing, etc.).

As a rule, strict bed rest, in which only the kitchen and the toilet can be visited, is prescribed to children extremely rarely and for a short time, for example, with tonsillitis, scarlet fever, severe pneumonia.

From the moment of normalization of temperature or subfebrile (37.5-38) bed rest can be canceled, but it is desirable that the child rest or sleep during the day.

High temperatures require drinking regime . A child should be given 1-1. 5-2 liters of liquid per day (depending on age), mainly water or tea (it doesn’t matter if it’s black, green or herbal, with sugar or lemon). It is better to exclude juice in the first days of the illness, since appetite disappears at a temperature, and juice stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, thereby irritating the digestive tract mucosa, which can cause heartburn and discomfort. In addition, juices can stimulate motility and cause diarrhea, some of them (citrus, multifruit, pomegranate, carrot) can provoke allergies, which manifests itself in the form of various rashes. If the child asks for juice, then you should limit yourself to one glass a day after meals. Dried fruit compote (apples, pears, cherries, dried apricots, raisins), mono or a mixture, will be useful at high temperatures, but it should be borne in mind that prunes and dried apricots cause loosening of the stool, and the pear fixes this process. During the period of illness, some prepare fruit drinks from cranberries and (or) lingonberries. Remember that when using them, you should limit yourself to 1-2 glasses a day so as not to lose a lot of fluid, because fruit drinks have a diuretic effect, which in turn can lead to intensive elimination of antibiotics or other important drugs, as well as reduce them concentration in the blood and, as a result, reduce the effect of treatment. In addition, fruit drinks can contribute to increased formation of salts in the urine.

Drinking plenty of water helps to lower the temperature. With it, sweating increases, urination becomes more frequent (viruses, microbes, toxins and toxins are excreted in the urine). By the way, antipyretics “do not work well”, because as a result of their use the temperature does not decrease (or only a short-term effect can be achieved), most often due to the fact that the child refuses to drink water during illness. This is extremely important, because the body does not give up the water that it needs at a high temperature.

How to take an antipyretic correctly?

Antipyretic drugs , mainly paracetamol (efferalgan, paracet, panadol, cefecon, Tylenol) and ibufen (ibuprofen, nurofen, MIG 400), have both anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, but have a number of side effects (in including toxic). This should be remembered and applied correctly: no more than 4 times a day, after 6 hours, if possible after a meal, while drinking enough water. It is best to alternate antipyretic drugs (if you used paracetamol this month, then it is better to use ibufen next month, or change medicines every other day). Many believe that paracetamol does not help. This is primarily due to the dosage, which must be checked with the doctor. In addition, antipyretic should be taken only at temperatures above 38.5-39in the first three days of ARI illness, since taking these drugs at a lower temperature stops the production of its own interferon, lysozyme and turns off other immunity mechanisms, which sometimes contributes to the development of complications. Children under one year of age who are under the supervision of a neurologist and who have a history of seizures or recent traumatic brain injury should be given antipyretic at a temperature of 37.5. In addition, the antipyretic can also be taken at a low temperature, if the child does not tolerate it well (severe lethargy, headache), then in this case it is better to reduce the dose.

Can I take aspirin?

Do not give aspirin against the background of fever to children under 12 years of age with influenza, measles, chicken pox, as Reye’s syndrome (acute toxic damage to the liver and brain, sometimes fatal) may develop.

What about Coldrex, Fervex, ORVIcold?

These are combined preparations containing paracetamol, most of which can be used in children from 6-7 years of age, preferably in cases where high fever is combined with severe catarrhal symptoms (for example, runny nose, nasal congestion). Children are better off using a single drug due to the low risk of developing allergies and less likely to stress the liver.

It is necessary to remember and know about physical methods of cooling

They can only be used for pink fever (skin is pink, moist, hot to the touch). The room should be cool, the air temperature should be 20-22 degrees for the best heat transfer process. You can use a fan, but you should act carefully, as in children, cold air currents cause discomfort, crying. It is easier and more convenient to wipe the body with a napkin moistened with cool water, or apply a vinegar wrap (1 tablespoon 9% vinegar per 1 liter of warm water), in children of school age – wiping with vodka or alcohol diluted with water 1: 1. These procedures must be carried out 4-5 times, which usually leads to a decrease in temperature by 0.5-1 degrees. The use of a general bath (10-15 minutes) with warm water is very effective. The water temperature should be 2-3 degrees lower than body temperature (for example, 38 at 40). The well-being and mood of the child after such a procedure improves before our eyes.

In case of white fever, physical cooling methods are contraindicated. The patient should be wrapped up, a heating pad can be applied to the legs and a hot drink and papaverine or no-shpu should be given (the dose depends on age), and at a temperature of 39and above – make a lytic mixture or call an ambulance. .

Memo for parents with children of the first year of life • GBUZ SK “City clinic No. 5” City of Stavropol

1. In order to prevent accidents with the threat of child breathing (inhalation of food contents of the stomach (aspiration), foreign body and ingestion of a foreign body, suffocation, drowning, etc.):
• Never leave a child alone in the house.
• Feed the baby in a sitting position. Make sure that the child’s nasal breathing is not difficult due to strong pressing against the mammary gland. If the baby is formula-fed, feed him in your arms, make sure that the baby does not swallow air.
• After feeding, hold the baby upright to burp air before placing it on its side in the crib.
• Do not give bread crusts, bagels, bagels, pieces of fruit and vegetables, seeds, nuts, or other foods to your baby as they may cause food to be inhaled.
• It is necessary to supervise the child during feeding. Coughing, noisy rapid breathing, or an inability to make sounds are signs of breathing problems and possibly choking, which can lead to death.
• Choose a crib with a space between the bars so small that the child cannot stick his head between them.
• Do not use pillows in a crib, on a changing table. Never put your baby to sleep on a pillow, he may roll over, which will lead to the closing of the baby’s airways and suffocation.
• There should be no foreign objects in the crib (pillows, blankets, diapers, plastic bags, toys, cords, ribbons, bows, etc.), they can tangle or suffocate.
• To sleep, the baby should be placed in the crib on its side.
• Never put an infant to bed with you. You can fall asleep and, if you involuntarily turn, crush the child and cut off his air supply, which will lead to tragedy.
• When laying out the baby on the tummy, be sure to be close to him, remove all items that can block the baby’s air supply (diapers, toys, pillows), lay the baby out only on a flat, hard surface. Don’t put your baby on your tummy to sleep.
• In the child’s field of activity there should be no small objects (toy parts, batteries, buttons, coins, balls, sweets, etc.) that the child can put in his mouth, risking choking.
• Soothers with strings, ropes, hanging toys, rope swings can cause suffocation to a child.
• Never leave your baby alone in the tub while bathing, even for a second, babies can drown in less than two minutes even in a small amount of water.

2. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY A CHILD FALLING
• Never leave a child alone in the house, even if you put him to bed.
• Don’t trust older children to take care of your child.
• When placing your baby in the crib, check that the sides of the crib are well secured.
• Choose a crib with high sides to prevent falls.
• Do not leave the baby alone on the changing table or other furnishings (bed, sofa, chair, etc.), as the baby may fall to the floor.
• Do not put the baby to sleep anywhere other than a cot (avoid sleeping on a bed, sofa, etc. ).
• In the stroller, the child must be secured with special fasteners.
• Make sure that access to the window, the window sill for the child is not possible.
• When using a walker, keep a close eye on the child (avoid obstacles: thresholds, steps, stairs, etc.). The walker could tip over and the baby could be seriously injured.

3. TO PREVENT HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS WITH CHILDREN (poisoning, burns, cuts, etc.)
• Always measure the temperature of the water with a thermometer (not your elbow!) before placing your child in the bath tub – the child may get burned .
• Do not add hot water to a tub containing a child.
• A small child can also get burned when using a heating pad if the temperature of the water in it exceeds 40-60°C;
• Protect your child from sunburn, sunstroke, and heatstroke.
• Baby toys must be made of safe, non-breakable materials (risk of injury or choking on small pieces).
• Remove tablecloths, napkins hanging from tables – they can contain heavy, sharp, hot objects and drinks (the child can pull the edge of the tablecloth, tip over objects, injure or burn themselves).
• Do not allow pets to sleep in a crib or stroller.
• Keep children away from electrical appliances, electrical outlets, cords, and extension cords.
• Keep piercing and cutting objects, such as needles, scissors, knives, out of reach of the child. This can cause big trouble.
• Keep medicines and household chemicals, acids and alkalis, rat and insect poisons, and other toxic substances out of the reach of children. Poisons are dangerous not only when swallowed, but also when inhaled, in contact with the skin, eyes and even clothing, they can cause severe poisoning and death.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning – extremely dangerous for children and fatal in 80-85% of cases – strictly follow fire safety rules in all places where children are, especially where there is open fire (stoves, fireplaces, baths, etc.). ).

Dear parents, remember –
accidents with children of the first year of life (sometimes fatal) – occur through the fault of adults.

Babysitting schedule: employment options, payment methods, permanent job or part-time job

All families differ in their way of life and needs. Someone needs a nanny only for 2-3 hours a day, others need an assistant who will be with the children all day. To determine the amount of payment for staff services, you need to set the desired work schedule for the nanny and the range of her duties.

Types of employment

It depends on how many hours a day the helper will be with the children. Different job options have their own characteristics that affect the load and salary. Below you can see the various work schedule options, which will allow you to choose the most suitable one.

Full day accommodation

With this option, the nanny stays with the child all day. Employers provide her with the opportunity to live in the house, access to all amenities, and also pay for services as if they were full-time.

In fact, with such a work schedule, a woman becomes practically a member of the family. The advantage for the employer is the reduced cost of services – the assistant gets the opportunity to live in his house, she does not have forced breaks, therefore she works at reduced rates compared to specialists who are hired temporarily.

Full day without accommodation

This is the classic option where an employee looks after the child on weekdays. The number of working hours is 8-10 daily. Parents supervise the children on Saturday and Sunday. This option is popular among employed parents who work full time.

This also includes going to work as a nanny on schedule 2 through 2. In this case, two workers are often hired at once, who look after the child in shifts.

For example, the first one, who knows a foreign language, can teach English to a child on her working days, and the second one does additional housework on her shift.

Part-time

This option provides for 2-4 working days weekly, 4-6 hours a day. Weekend floating or determined by agreement with the employee.

Part-time work is usually chosen by people who have many other things to do in their spare time (study, look after their own child, care for elderly parents, frequent visits to the doctor due to poor health).

Combined

In this case, a person goes to a shift at the request or depending on the health of the child attending an educational institution or kindergarten.

For example, 5 days a week from 13:00 to 19:00 on weekdays, and to care for a sick child from 9:00 to 19:00. Saturday and Sunday are days off. This option is optimal under mutually beneficial payment terms.

Watch

In this case, you need to look after the child around the clock. Babies need 24/7 supervision. Also, people who care for children who live in the countryside, away from large settlements, work on a rotational basis.

Such a schedule involves hiring several people in shifts, in a 3 through 3, 5 through 5 or 7 through 7 mode. Parents turn to the nanny for help only as needed. For example, you can hire a person to accompany the child to clubs and extracurricular activities, cook meals for children, and clean their rooms. Babysitting for individual, one-time tasks can be found on our website.

Separately, it is necessary to note the exits on non-standard days and hours. Non-standard days include holidays, Saturday, Sunday. A woman works on such days at an increased rate. The same goes for night work.

What to consider when drawing up a schedule?

When choosing your nanny’s work schedule, keep these nuances in mind.

  1. Summer. If you need childcare during the summer season, determine in advance how the staff will work, how much you will pay them in the summer. If you plan to travel abroad with your family and governess, immediately notify the worker about the period for which you are leaving the country.

  2. Saturday, Sunday, holidays and overtime. It happens that the working day ends at 19 o’clock, and the parents are late. In this case, you need to be sure that the person is ready for overtime work. And he must be sure of increased overtime pay.

  3. Vacation. Vacation lasts 28 calendar days, can be divided into several time periods – it all depends on the agreed conditions. It is advisable to discuss the period of rest at the stage of hiring. The amount of vacation pay is equal to the average monthly salary.

  4. Plain. Be sure to notify the girl if you plan to go somewhere during the holiday period, for example, for the New Year. A woman relies on her employment and wages, so you need to pay for the time that the employee does not work through your fault. It is customary to pay for a simple at least half of the standard payment.

When negotiating the conditions, be sure to specify when she should begin her duties. Record how much time she can spend changing clothes, washing hands, and other mandatory procedures.

It should be noted that the salary directly depends on its schedule. Of course, round-the-clock work with children costs more than the services of an employee who comes for 2-3 hours.

According to HR specialists, the most difficult thing is to find an experienced person who will work several hours a day.

Usually such activities are needed by those who are already employed elsewhere or simply live nearby. There are not so many professionals who are ready for part-time employment.

The ideal work schedule for a caregiver is 5 days a week, no more than 6 hours a day. The mode of employment with accommodation is discussed on an individual basis, since the employee will monitor the children almost around the clock. Remember that the work schedule and salary must be fixed in an agreement with her.

Accompanying nanny

This is the best assistant to parents. Usually she is hired when it is necessary to pick up children from school, kindergarten, escort them to sections, feed them, help with homework and check lessons while waiting for their parents to return. She can take the kids to the clinic for check-ups, vaccinations. Most often, accompanying women are under 50 years old, who live near the child’s parents.

Employment – 2-5 hours daily, usually from 15:00 to 20:00. The exact working hours depend on the time of the parents.

An important advantage for an escort nanny is the availability of their own car. If the employee plans to use public transport, you should immediately discuss reimbursement for travel expenses with her. You can find an accompanying nanny at 7hands.

Trial period

So you have chosen a helper, but you cannot understand how the child will perceive significant changes in his own life. The best option is to spend a few days / weeks together (child, nanny, one of the parents).

This way you will get the opportunity to check the quality of the employee’s work, and the child will get used to a new person in the apartment, will not be afraid to be alone with him. If you can’t arrange a trial period, watch the baby: how he looks when you return, if he is tired, if he feels depressed.

Also keep an eye on the teacher. Look at her behavior at the end of the working day, find out if she is tired. Ask questions about the child’s achievements, find out how he behaved. If you do not doubt the professionalism of the employee, you can draw up an agreement for a long time.

She needs your instructions first. Provide her with information about the habits and character of the child, how you usually calm him down, distract him, and occupy him.

Tell me where the child’s household items and change items are located. Instruct on formula preparation, baby’s allergic reactions, taste preferences. Be sure to leave in a conspicuous place a list of emergency phone numbers for parents, the police, and doctors.

Discuss in advance the conditions under which friends and children of the employee can come to your house. Tell the employee where you can walk with the child, show the places for games in the house. She must check that the child, when playing, is not near sharp corners, sharp objects, household appliances, open sockets, electric lamps, and heating equipment.

Explain to the worker how to use the household devices that you have in your apartment (if it is a complex technique).

The caregiver must ensure that all chemicals used for washing dishes and stoves are put away in a safe place. In addition, she must understand where the first-aid kit is located, be able to provide medical care.

At the same time, she should not treat the baby on her own. Parents and family doctor should be informed about any seizures and signs of illness. If the child needs regular medications or vitamins, show where they are, dosages and how to take them.

Is it necessary to build close relationships?

If you and your assistant are “on a short footing”, it will be difficult to tell her what to do, demand discipline, and resolve conflict situations.

It is always required to maintain a distance, to address an employee as “you”. You do not need to talk about your own life and problems in order to avoid negative consequences if the employee is too talkative. For security reasons, you should not brag about expensive things, discuss plans for a vacation.

Provide a reward system for monitoring. It can be additional days off with pay, bonuses, gifts. Discuss the size of fines for being late, penalties for non-attendance.

If you don’t want the governess to just not come on the same day, be polite, honest in your calculations, punctual. These are the main requirements put forward by almost all home-based workers.

The work of an educator is a complex activity tied to human relationships. The better your relationship with the nanny, the easier it is for her to work with your baby. Do not forget that parents should provide children with the best conditions in which they can grow and develop.

It is best to search for personnel through special online services, which provide a system of ratings and reviews, tools for selecting and checking assistants, taking into account the specifics of the activity. On 7hands you can find a home worker according to the selected criteria, contact her directly and agree on cooperation without intermediaries and commissions.

What Purchasing Managers, Buyers, and Purchasing Agents Do

About this section

Purchasing agents and buyers consider price, quality, availability, reliability, and technical support when choosing suppliers and merchandise.

Buyers and purchasing agents buy products and services for organizations to use or resell. They evaluate suppliers, negotiate contracts, and review the quality of products. Purchasing managers oversee the work of buyers and purchasing agents and typically handle more complex procurement tasks.

Duties

Purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents typically do the following:

  • Evaluate suppliers on the basis of the price, quality, and speed of delivery of their products and services
  • Interview vendors and visit suppliers’ plants and distribution centers to examine and learn about products, services, and prices
  • Attend meetings, trade shows, and conferences to learn about new industry trends and make contacts with suppliers
  • Analyze price proposals, financial reports, and other information to determine reasonable prices
  • Negotiate contracts on behalf of their organization
  • Work out agreements with suppliers, such as when products will be delivered
  • Meet with staff and vendors to discuss defective or unacceptable goods or services and determine corrective action
  • Evaluate and monitor contracts to be sure that vendors and suppliers comply with the terms and conditions of the contract and to determine the need for changes
  • Maintain and review records of items bought, costs, deliveries, product performance, and inventories

In addition to these tasks, purchasing managers also plan and coordinate the work of buyers and purchasing agents and hire and train new staff.

Purchasing managers are also responsible for developing their organization’s procurement policies and procedures. These policies help ensure that procurement professionals are meeting ethical standards to avoid potential conflicts of interest or inappropriate supplier and customer relations.

Buyers and purchasing agents buy farm products, durable and nondurable goods, and services for organizations and institutions. They try to get the best deal for their organization: the highest quality goods and services at the lowest cost. They do this by studying sales records and inventory levels of current stock, identifying foreign and domestic suppliers, and keeping up to date with changes affecting both the supply of, and demand for, products and materials.

Purchasing agents and buyers consider price, quality, availability, reliability, and technical support when choosing suppliers and merchandise. To be effective, purchasing agents and buyers must have a working technical knowledge of the goods or services they are purchasing.

Evaluating suppliers is one of the most critical functions of a buyer or purchasing agent. They ensure the supplies are ordered in time so that any delays in the supply chain does not shut down production and cause the organization to lose customers.

Buyers and purchasing agents use many resources to find out all they can about potential suppliers. They attend meetings, trade shows, and conferences to learn about new industry trends and make contacts with suppliers.

They often interview prospective suppliers and visit their plants and distribution centers to assess their capabilities. For example, they may discuss the design of products with design engineers, quality concerns with production supervisors, or shipping issues with managers in the receiving department.

Buyers and purchasing agents must make certain that the supplier can deliver the desired goods or services on time, in the correct quantities, and without sacrificing quality. Once they have gathered information on suppliers, they sign contracts with suppliers who meet the organization’s needs and they place orders.

Buyers who purchase items to resell to customers may determine which products their organization will sell. They need to be able to predict what will appeal to their customers. If they are wrong, they could jeopardize the profits and reputation of their organization.

Buyers who work for large organizations often specialize in purchasing one or two categories of products or services. Buyers who work for smaller businesses or government agencies may be responsible for making a greater variety of purchases.

The following are examples of types of buyers and purchasing agents:

Purchasing agents and buyers of farm products buy agricultural products for further processing or resale. Examples of these products are grain, cotton, and tobacco.

Purchasing agents, except wholesale, retail, and farm products buy items for the operation of an organization. Examples of these items are chemicals and industrial equipment needed for a manufacturing establishment, and office supplies.

Wholesale and retail buyers purchase goods for resale to consumers. Examples of these goods are clothing and electronics. Purchasing specialists who buy finished goods for resale are commonly known as buyers or merchandise managers.


Purchasing managers plan and coordinate the work of buyers and purchasing agents.

Educational requirements for buyers and purchasing agents usually vary with the size of the organization.

For positions as a buyer or purchasing agent of farm products, a degree in agriculture, agriculture production, or animal science may be beneficial.

Training

Buyers and purchasing agents typically get on-the-job training for a few months. During this time, they learn how to perform their basic duties, including monitoring inventory levels and negotiating with suppliers.

Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations

There are several certifications available for buyers and purchasing agents. Although some employers may require certification, many do not.

Most of these certifications involve oral or written exams and have education and work experience requirements.

The American Purchasing Society offers the Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP) certification. The CPP certification is valid for 5 years. Candidates must earn a certain number of professional development “points” to renew their certification. Candidates initially become eligible and can renew their certification through a combination of purchasing-related experience, education, and professional contributions (such as published articles or delivered speeches).

The Association for Supply Chain Management offers the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) credential. Applicants must have 3 years of relevant business experience or a bachelor’s degree in order to be eligible for the CSCP credential. The credential is valid for 5 years.

Candidates must complete 32 continuing education hours in procurement-related topics to recertify for an additional 4-year period.

The Universal Public Procurement Certification Council (UPPCC) offers two certifications for workers in federal, state, and local government. The Certified Professional Public Buyer (CPPB) credential requires applicants to have earned at least an associate’s degree, possess at least 3 years of public procurement experience, and complete relevant training courses. The Certified Public Purchasing Officer (CPPO) requires applicants to have earned a bachelor’s degree, possess at least 5 years of public procurement experience, and complete additional training courses.

Those with the CPPB or the CPPO designation must renew their certification every 5 years by completing continuing education courses or attending procurement-related conferences or events.

The National Institute of Government Purchasing (NIGP) and the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) offer preparation courses for the UPPCC certification exams.

Work Experience in a Related Occupation

Purchasing managers typically must have at least 5 years of experience as a buyer or purchasing agent. At the top levels, purchasing manager duties may overlap with other management functions, such as production, planning, logistics, and marketing.

Advancement

Purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents with extensive work experience can also advance to become the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) for an organization.

Important Qualities

Analytical skills. When evaluating suppliers, purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents must analyze their options and choose a supplier with the best combination of price, quality, delivery, or service.

Decisionmaking skills. Purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents must have the ability to make informed and timely decisions, choosing products that they think will sell.

Math skills. Purchasing managers and buyers and purchasing agents must possess math skills. They must be able to compare prices from different suppliers to ensure that their organization is getting the best deal.

Employment



Projected employment of purchasing managers, buyers, and purchasing agents varies by occupation (see table). Employment of buyers and purchasing agents is projected to decline due to increased automation and outsourcing of some procurement tasks. Organizations will likely adopt automation for simple procurement functions, such as finding suppliers or processing purchase orders. In addition, some organizations may rely on third parties to handle other tasks, such as market research or supplier risk assessments.

In the public sector, employment demand may be impacted by the increasing use of cooperative purchasing agreements. These agreements allow state and local governments to share resources to buy supplies and make other general purchases. Because standard contracts may be used multiple times by multiple government agencies, the rise of purchasing cooperatives may limit the need to hire additional procurement officers.

Employment of purchasing managers is projected to increase because these workers will continue to be needed to help procure goods and services for business operations or for resale to customers.

If I make $50K a year, can I buy a house? 2022 Loan options

Here’s how you can buy a house with a $50K salary

It’s definitely possible to buy a house on a $50K salary. For many borrowers, low-down-payment loans and down payment assistance programs are putting homeownership within reach.

But everyone’s budget is different. Even people who make the same annual salary can have different price ranges when they shop for a new home.

That’s because your budget doesn’t just depend on your annual salary, but also on your mortgage rate, down payment, loan term, and more. Here’s how to find out what you can afford.

If I make $50K a year, how much house can I afford?

As a rule of thumb, a person who makes $50,000 a year might be able to afford a house worth anywhere from $180,000 to nearly $300,000.

That’s because annual salary isn’t the only variable that determines your home buying budget. You also have to consider your credit score, current debts, mortgage rates, and many other factors.

Just to show you how much these different variables can affect your home buying power, take a look at a few examples below.

Home affordability by interest rate

Regardless of your annual salary, the mortgage interest rate you qualify for will affect how much house you can afford.

For those with a low or moderate income, timing your home purchase when interest rates are low is a great way to increase your home buying budget.

Annual Income  Desired Monthly Payment Interest Rate (30-Year Fixed)  How Much House You Can Afford
$50,000 $1,300 4.5% $217,900
$50,000 $1,300 4. 0% $228,800
$50,000 $1,300 3.5% $240,500
$50,000 $1,300 3.25% $246,600

The example above assumes a 3% down payment and $200 in monthly debts outside the mortgage. Rates shown for sample purposes only. Your own interest rate and payment will vary. 

Remember, the interest rate a lender will offer you depends on your credit score and down payment, among other factors.

So getting the lowest interest rate isn’t just a matter of timing the market; it’s also important to present a strong application and shop around for the best deal.

Home affordability by down payment

Your down payment amount also has a big impact on what you can afford. Most low-down-payment mortgage loans require putting at least 3% of the home value down. As an example, if the home value is $180,000, then a 3% down payment would be $5,400.

But the more you pay up front, the more you’re allowed to borrow.

For example, here’s how much a home buyer making $50,000 a year might afford depending on their down payment savings:

Annual Income  Desired Monthly Payment  Down Payment How Much House You Can Afford
$50,000 $1,300 $7,300 (3%) $234,800
$50,000 $1,300 $13,200 (5%) $263,268
$50,000 $1,300 $28,500 (10%) $285,680

The examples above assume a 3.75% fixed interest rate on a 30-year loan, and $200 in monthly debts outside the mortgage. Your own rate and monthly payment will vary. 

Home affordability by debt-to-income ratio

Your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) measures your total monthly debts against your gross monthly income.

In this context, debt includes items like minimum credit card payments, auto loans, student loans, and even your estimated mortgage payment. However, monthly bills for utilities and streaming services are not considered monthly debt payments.

Mortgage lenders use DTI to determine how much of a monthly housing payment a borrower can afford.

The higher your existing monthly debt payments, the less you’ll be able to spend on your mortgage to maintain a good DTI.

Ideally, you want a debt-to-income ratio in the 30-40% range to qualify for a mortgage loan.

While DTI requirements will vary by lender, the percentages below are a good rule of thumb. (We discuss the importance of DTI for borrowers on a $50K salary in more detail below.)

  • Conventional loan: Up to 43% allowed, but 36% to 41% is preferred
  • FHA loan: Generally, 41% to 43% (up to 50% is possible)
  • VA loan: 41% is typical for most lenders
  • USDA loan: 41% is typical for most lenders

For example, say you make $50,000 a year and want to stay at a 36% DTI.

In that case, your total debts can’t exceed $1,500. Here’s how that affects your home buying budget:

Annual Income  Monthly Debts Desired Mortgage Payment How Much House You Can Afford
$50,000 $0 $1,500 $270,600
$50,000 $200 $1,300 $234,500
$50,000 $500 $1,000 $180,406

The examples above assume a 3.75% fixed interest rate and 3% down on a 30-year mortgage. Your own rate and monthly payment will vary. 

How to calculate your home buying budget on a $50K salary

As you can see in the examples above, two different borrowers who both earn $50,000 a year could have very different home buying budgets.

To figure out how much house you can afford, you need to factor in your own income, debts, down payment savings, and projected housing costs like homeowners insurance and property taxes.

Remember, principal and interest on the mortgage aren’t the only costs you’ll pay each month as a homeowner.

Luckily, you don’t have to do all that math on your own. You can use an online mortgage calculator — one that includes property taxes and homeowners insurance — to estimate your monthly mortgage payment.

Why your debt-to-income ratio is key

While many factors impact the amount you can borrow, your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is essential to the equation.

DTI compares your monthly gross household income to the monthly payments you owe on all your debts, including housing expenses. The standard maximum DTI for most mortgage lenders is 41%.

To achieve a 41% DTI with a $50,000 annual income ($4,167 per month), you couldn’t exceed $1,700 a month in housing and other debt payments.

The less you spend on existing debt payments, the more home you can afford — and vice-versa.

$50K salary and $400 in monthly debt payments: 

  • Say $400 of your monthly debt payments go to a car loan, a student loan, and minimum payments on your credit card debt. In this case, you would have $1,300 to spend on housing
  • With a $10,000 down payment and 4% interest rate, you could probably buy a home for a maximum price of around $200,000 and still have a $1,300 monthly payment

$50K salary and no monthly debt payments:

  • If you had no existing monthly debts, you could spend $1,700 a month on your mortgage payment and still keep a 41% DTI
  • In this case, your home buying budget would increase to about $300,000 — even with the same $10,000 down and 4% interest rate

The above scenario adds an additional $100K in home buying power all because of a reduction in your existing monthly expenses — not an increase in your annual salary.

This is why paying off as much debt as possible should be a part of your homeownership journey.

Front-end ratios vs. back-end ratios

As you shop around between mortgage lenders, you may come across the terms front-end ratio and back-end ratio.

Both are versions of the debt-to-income ratio, and they’re just another way to measure how your income and cash flow affects your monthly housing payment.

  • Back-end ratio: Works like your debt-to-income ratio which we discussed above — it compares your existing monthly debt payments, including your mortgage, to your monthly gross income.
  • Front-end ratio: Measures your housing costs alone as a percentage of your gross income. If you were aiming for a front-end ratio of 28%, and you earned $50,000 a year, you could spend no more than $14,000 a year on housing. (That’s about $1,167 a month)

As you make your own calculations, remember that your gross monthly income is the amount you earn before income tax or medical insurance deductions. For most people, gross income is a bigger number than take-home pay.

Home affordability and your PITI percentage

Lenders use all of these percentages, along with your debts and income, to form a picture of your home buying budget that they call PITI.

PITI is an acronym that describes:

  • Principal: How much of your loan’s principal you can pay each month
  • Interest: How much interest will pay to borrow each month
  • Taxes: Property taxes you will pay to own a home
  • Insurance: Monthly costs to insure your home (and mortgage, when applicable)

Read more about PITI and how it affects how much home you can afford on $50K a year.

8 Tips to increase your home buying budget on $50K a year

In today’s competitive real estate market, home prices are rising quickly. That means you might need to make a higher offer and increase your loan amount in order to afford the home you want.

There are several steps you can take to increase your home buying power.

1. Increase your down payment

If you have the cash, you may want to up your down payment to 10% or 20%. A down payment raises your maximum home price, which may be enough to buy a home that you want.

If you don’t have the cash, keep in mind that you can ask relatives for gift money.

You can also apply for homebuyer assistance programs from state and local government programs that provide down payment and closing cost funds. Your eligibility for these programs may vary based on your personal finances.

2. Pay down some of your existing debt

The minimum payment on your credit accounts determines your debt-to-income ratio. By paying down your credit card debt or eliminating a car payment, you can qualify for a bigger home loan.

For example, in the scenario above, reducing your monthly obligations by $200 could increase your maximum price from $234,000 to $270,600.

3. Use a piggyback loan to put 20% down

Another strategy that could help increase your budget is to finance your home with two different home loans simultaneously. This strategy is known as an ‘80-10-10 loan’ or ‘piggyback loan.’.

An 80-10-10 mortgage means you’d get:

  • A first mortgage for 80% of the home’s cost
  • A second mortgage for 10% (usually a home equity line of credit)
  • A cash down payment of 10%

This gives you the benefit of having a bigger home buying budget (thanks to the larger down payment). It also eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is usually required on conventional loans with less than 20% down.

4. Try a 3%-down conventional loan

It’s possible to get a conventional loan — one backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac — with a down payment as low as 3% of the purchase price. What’s more, that down payment can often be covered with a down payment assistance grant or gift funds from a family member.

Just note that to qualify for a 3%-down conventional loan, most lenders require a credit score of at least 620 or 640. For those with lower credit, an FHA loan might be more appealing.

5. Try a 3.5%-down FHA loan

FHA-insured loans allow a 3.5% down payment as long as the applicant has a FICO score of 580 or higher. Those with FICOs between 500 and 579 must put 10% down.

FHA mortgage insurance can make these loans more expensive. They require both an upfront premium and a monthly addition to your loan payment.

Still, FHA allows for much higher debt-to-income ratios compared to conventional loans. Sometimes, you can use up to 50% of your before-tax income or more toward your FHA loan payment.

Plus, you could always refinance out of the FHA loan later to eliminate these mortgage insurance fees.

6. Increase your credit score

Conventional (non-government) loans often come with risk-based pricing, which means if your credit score is lower than 740, you’ll pay a higher interest rate on your loan.

Mortgage insurance costs also increase as your credit score decreases. These rising costs chip away at your housing price range.

Take steps to raise your score. It could mean you can lower your interest rate and therefore your monthly mortgage payments. And it could mean you qualify for a larger loan amount.

You’ll also have a better chance of qualifying for a loan program with a higher debt-to-income ratio if your score is higher.

7. Negotiate with the seller

There is no reason you can’t ask for seller contributions instead of negotiating for a lower purchase price. Depending on the type of mortgage you choose, the seller can contribute 3% to 6% of the home price in closing costs.

This can make all the difference when you want to buy a new home and stop renting. Seller contributions can cover closing costs, buy your interest rate down to a more affordable level, or make a one-time payment to cover your mortgage insurance.

8. Consider buying a multi-family home

One strategy first-time homebuyers often don’t consider is buying a multi-family home instead of a single-family one.

By purchasing a duplex, tri-plex or four-plex, you can live in one unit and rent the others out. This gives you access to primary residence loan programs with low rates and costs, but you also get the advantage of rental income to pay your mortgage.

You can even use a low-rate VA loan or FHA mortgage as long as you live in one of the units.

Getting preapproved can tell you your home buying budget

One of the easiest ways to find your price range is to get a preapproval from a mortgage lender.

Preapproval is kind of like a dress rehearsal for your actual mortgage application. A lender will assess your financial situation — as shown by your annual salary, existing debt load, credit score, and down payment size — without making you go through the full loan application.

This can tell you whether you’re qualified for a mortgage and how much home you might be able to afford.

You could also learn whether you can afford a 15-year loan term or whether you should stick with a 30-year mortgage. And, a pre-approval can show whether you’d be better off with an FHA loan or a conventional loan.

Finally, your preapproval letter shows you the added monthly costs of homeownership such as home insurance, real estate taxes, HOA fees, and mortgage insurance if necessary.

Home buying on a $50K salary: FAQ

How much do I need to make to buy a $300K house?

To purchase a $300K house, you may need to make between $50,000 and $74,500 a year. This is a rule of thumb, and the specific salary will vary depending on your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, the type of home loan, loan term, and mortgage rate. Still, with a 3.5% down payment on a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 4.5 percent, you should be able to afford a $300,000 house with an annual salary of $74,500.

What are the monthly payments on a $300K house?

The monthly payments on a $300,000 house is in the ballpark of $1,900 a month. Your specific housing payment will depend on your credit score, loan type, loan amount and the size of your down payment. But with $10,000 down on a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 4.5 percent, you can estimate a $300K house costing you about $1,900 each month.

How much house can I afford on $50K a year?

You can generally afford a home between $180,000 to $250,000 (perhaps nearly $300,000) on a $50K salary. But your specific home buying budget will depend on your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and the size of your down payment. As an example, if you make $50K, have less than $200 in monthly debt payments, and have $7,300 down — you can afford a $234,800 home with a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 3.75 percent.

How much does a house cost?

According to data from the Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the average home sale price in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $477,900.

What are today’s mortgage rates?

Today’s low mortgage rates go a long way toward making houses affordable to those with moderate incomes. Check out available programs and see how much home you can buy.

Food prices in Malta

Food costs in Malta depend on where you buy food. In ordinary supermarkets, food prices do not differ much from prices in other European countries.

There are other shops in Malta – food stalls that focus exclusively on tourists. Their prices are high. In ordinary stores, products can be 1.5-3 times cheaper.

People who are just moving to Malta often unknowingly buy food from tourist shops. As a result, they pay three times more money for products than they would spend in ordinary stores.

Lunch or dinner in a cafe costs an average of 10-15 €. Of course, the average check depends on the institution, and in Malta there are plenty to choose from. The Michelin Guide to Malta provides information on 26 restaurants. Three of them received Michelin stars.

Locals shop for groceries at the large chain supermarkets Lidl or Carrefour, where prices are reasonable and quality products are standard. Farm products are sold in grocery stores. I do not recommend buying food there – everything is much more expensive, and the quality is not much different from what is sold in supermarkets.

a taxi costs per kilometer in Malta

It is easier to buy a private car in Malta than to transport it from Russia or another country. In addition, car rental services are common in Malta.

I advise you to choose small cars, because the streets in Maltese cities are narrow. I bought a new Corolla as soon as I moved to Malta. Here it cost 22,000 €. Budget car rental — from 30 € per day. Business class will cost 50–80 €. Gasoline here costs an average of 1.3 €. The usual taxi fare in Malta is 2 € per kilometer.

Business in Malta: benefits and tax benefits

Malta attracts investors in another way, namely ample business opportunities. The most promising and profitable companies in Malta are concentrated in the following areas:

  • Tourism sector – car and real estate rental, organization of excursions, hotel business.
  • Beauty and health – beauty salons, fitness clubs, massage parlors are popular.
  • Medical services — resorts of Malta are popular with Europeans who come to undergo a course of recovery and cleansing of the body.
  • Education – Malta has many private schools, branches of international and European universities. People often come here to learn English.

(introduced by Federal Law No. 54-FZ of April 20, 2007)

Prospects and risks of disputes in a court of general jurisdiction. Situations related to Art. 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

– An employee (prosecutor) requires a salary not lower than the minimum wage

Consultant Plus: note.

On the identification of the constitutional and legal meaning of Parts 1 – 4 of Art. 133.1 see Resolutions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 17-P of April 11, 2019, and No. 40-P of December 16, 2019.

In a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a regional agreement on minimum wages may establish the amount of the minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The amount of the minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation may be established for employees working in the territory of the corresponding constituent entity of the Russian Federation, with the exception of employees of organizations financed from the federal budget.

The size of the minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation is established taking into account the socio-economic conditions and the subsistence level of the able-bodied population in the corresponding constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation may not be lower than the minimum wage established by federal law.

The amount of the minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation is ensured by:

organizations financed from the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation – at the expense of the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, extra-budgetary funds, as well as funds received from entrepreneurial and other income-generating activities;

organizations financed from local budgets – at the expense of local budgets, extra-budgetary funds, as well as funds received from entrepreneurial and other income-generating activities;

other employers – at their own expense.

The development of a draft regional agreement on minimum wages and the conclusion of this agreement are carried out by the tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations of the relevant subject of the Russian Federation in the manner prescribed by Article 47 of this Code.

After the conclusion of a regional agreement on minimum wages, the head of the authorized executive body of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation invites employers operating in the territory of this constituent entity of the Russian Federation and who did not participate in the conclusion of this agreement to join it. This proposal is subject to official publication along with the text of this agreement. The head of the authorized executive body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation notifies the federal executive body responsible for the development of state policy and legal regulation in the field of labor of the publication of the said proposal and agreement.

If, within 30 calendar days from the date of the official publication of the proposal to join the regional agreement on minimum wages, employers operating in the territory of the relevant subject of the Russian Federation have not submitted to the authorized executive body of the subject of the Russian Federation a reasoned written refusal to join it, then the specified agreement is considered extended to these employers from the date of the official publication of this proposal and is subject to mandatory execution by them. This refusal must be accompanied by a protocol of consultations between the employer and the elected body of the primary trade union organization uniting employees of this employer, and proposals on the timing of raising the minimum wage of employees to the amount provided for by the specified agreement.

If the employer refuses to join the regional agreement on minimum wages, the head of the authorized executive body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation has the right to invite representatives of this employer and representatives of the elected body of the primary trade union organization uniting employees of this employer to conduct consultations with the participation of representatives of the parties to the tripartite commission on the regulation of social and labor relations of the corresponding subject of the Russian Federation. Representatives of the employer, representatives of the elected body of the primary trade union organization and representatives of the specified tripartite commission are obliged to take part in these consultations.

Copies of written refusals of employers to join the regional agreement on minimum wages are sent by the authorized executive body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation to the appropriate territorial body of the federal executive body authorized to exercise federal state control (supervision) over compliance with labor laws and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms.

13 ways to get a pay rise

Personal archive

Who doesn’t dream of a pay rise? But dreams are one thing, reality is another. No one will give you an increase as a gift by February 23 or March 8, because even a fair financial incentive sometimes needs to be not only earned, but also achieved. Here are some tips to help you manage your salary on your own.

1. First, learn to look at yourself through the eyes of an employer. No one will increase your salary just out of pity. It’s simple: you bring benefits to the company, the company rewards you for it. Think about what you have changed in your work lately, how it has affected the quality and efficiency of your work (learned to use a new task management system, mastered and applied especially cunning time management techniques in your work, etc.). And tell your boss about this in order to substantiate your requirements.

2. Show the numbers. Measure the growth in the level of your workload or the volume of tasks that are assigned to you. For example, if you are in charge of working with the company’s clients, whose number has increased several times over the past year, you have a clear explanation of the reasons why the employer should increase your salary.

3. Probe the soil. If you cannot independently assess the situation in the company (for example, if you have been working in it not so long ago), carefully ask your colleagues exactly how the internal processes regarding salary increases are organized. It is possible that no requests and justifications will affect your salary if in a company its increase depends on the results of regular appraisal of each employee. In this case, you have no choice but to clarify on what parameters the assessment will be carried out and try to meet the requirements.

4. Ask about the growth rate of your future salary and the factors that affect it in advance. When applying for a job, take an interest not only in the amount of material compensation, but also in all the features of its change in the future. Perhaps you are hired for a job that does not imply career growth and a change in workload.

5. Try to understand the balance of power and answer the question of who makes the decision to raise your salary specifically for you (your immediate supervisor, senior management, HR officer, HR director). If the decision depends on several of your colleagues at once, think about which of them is more likely to support your idea, who doesn’t care, and who will definitely be against it. Bet on the first and second.

But: if your boss is in the third category, don’t try to ask for a pay raise bypassing him. It is likely that after that he will be even more negative, and his opinion will in any case affect the decision on the amount of your salary.

6. The threat “if you don’t give me a raise, I’ll quit”, as a rule, works once, and even then not always. Next time, it will be easier for the manager to let the employee go than to allow the “arm twisting”. Moreover, there are companies that perceive such behavior of an employee as a sign of blatant disloyalty and, even if they agree to increase the salary of a specialist, they immediately begin to look for a replacement. Although – we admit honestly – there are a number of companies in which, in principle, it is impossible to raise your salary by another method. In any case, going to the head with an ultimatum demand, be prepared for failure. Therefore, it is better to set conditions for your own company only when you already have a counter offer with a large salary from another employer.

7. Doubtful statements from the category “specialists in my profile are worth more”. If it comes to that, you need, again, either to refer to objective data (detailed studies of labor markets with information on the salaries of various specialists, which take into account not only the specialty, but also the level of qualification, experience, length of service, the industry in which the specialist is involved, etc.), or indicate specific and relevant offers you have from other employers.

8. The long term of your work in the company will not be an argument for the employer. Such justifications make sense if they are supported by specific information about professional development, gaining new experience and skills that you did not originally possess. For example, successful experience in a large-scale project or a distributed team (if you didn’t have one before), interacting with a new type of customer, teaching colleagues and newcomers your existing skills. If, after several years of work in one place, you continue to solve the same volume of the same tasks and have not grown in any way from a professional point of view, your salary will occasionally be indexed on a par with inflation. Or not at all.

9. Feel free to self-PR. As a specialist, you are essentially selling your services to the company. And in order to sell, you must first advertise and bring to the attention of the buyer all the advantages of your product (in this case, your work and your expertise and qualifications). Let your manager know if you are doing something that you think makes you a valuable employee. He does not always have time to monitor all your exploits, and he may not always be aware of how wonderful you are. If you receive praise from colleagues or company clients, share it with your superiors.

10. Don’t try to pressure pity. Not one of you has a wife who gave birth to twins, a mortgage and two loans for a car and a garage. You will most likely show your boss that you are not very good at personal finance planning. The conclusions that he will draw may affect the credibility of you and professionally. And again, do not forget that this is a business where you are a contractor, and your boss is a customer. If your ISP asks you to pay him more because he decided to rent a more expensive office and buy a car for his CEO, how would you react?

11. Never refer to the fact that one of your colleagues has recently received a pay raise. First, such data is not always reliable. Secondly, in many companies, employees are in principle forbidden to talk about the size of their salary. Thirdly, it is simply unethical. And, fourthly, perhaps a colleague really deserves a promotion – maybe while you were doing your main job, he managed to get additional qualifications, solved a difficult task or worked overtime and earned the trust of management. In any case, remember: the size of your salary does not depend on the size of his salary.

12. If you yourself understand that your salary is adequate to your qualifications, workload and the list of tasks to be solved, and you really want to raise it, then tell your manager. And ask him about the existing options and conditions for increasing it: increase the load, set additional tasks, learn something new. This way you show that you are soberly assessing yourself, but at the same time you are ready to grow and develop.

13. Quit your job. Yes, you didn’t hear. Sometimes it is worth leaving the company for a while and returning – in another organization you will gain valuable experience that will allow you to become a more expensive specialist in the labor market. And, for example, in a year you will be able to return to your favorite place to your former employer, but earn more. For example, we are happy to receive our employees who temporarily left the company, and their experience is important to us. Such people are also valuable because the management has no doubts about their loyalty to the employer. And this is also worth a lot. Just do not forget to explain to the employer that you are leaving specifically to gain new experience, which you simply do not have the opportunity to get inside the company.

Opening analytics for vacancies

Competitive analysis is one of the ways to predict the fate of a vacancy before it is published. When you know the conditions in other companies and the number of suitable candidates, you understand in advance what difficulties you will face in the selection. The new service is one of the most important steps in the development of analytics on hh.ru, and we have opened this project to all employers registered on hh.ru.

Analytical reports are built individually for each vacancy. To receive a report, we ask you to fill out the form and indicate the main conditions of the vacancy: position, professional area, salary range, search city and the candidate’s required experience. After that, the report is built automatically based on hh.ru data. For each employer and vacancy, the data will be unique.

The report includes:

  • competitor analytics: links to similar vacancies and competitors, average salaries offered by employee level;
  • analytics for applicants: gender, age, work experience, education, key skills, salary expectations, top employers and universities;
  • general recommendations: how to simplify the search for an employee.

Recommendations will help you understand how effective the search will be under given conditions and the situation on the labor market. Changes happen all the time, and the “Competitive Job Analysis” each time re-refers to the site’s current database of vacancies and candidates.

Small business and small companies rarely open new vacancies and spend time researching competitors. With the help of new reports, it will be easy for them to assess their disadvantages and advantages.

Large companies , in which recruitment is on a stream, face difficulties in finding rare specialists. The service will help you find similar vacancies and collect data for a reliable assessment of the market.

Jobs with difficult requirements or low pay is another reason to check the situation among competitors and applicants. The service will help you figure out what to counter unfavorable conditions.

Competitive analysis will tell you the causes of problems when selection is too long and hard . It will also help to convince the customer that it is necessary to revise the conditions in order to fill the vacancy faster.

The Competitive Job Analysis page is located in the All Services tab.

1. Enter the data for your vacancy in the form. It is similar to the job posting form. To build a report, you must specify the salary fork, the name of the vacancy, the professional area, the experience of the candidate and the city.

Please complete all fields in the form – this is required so that we can analyze and compare your data. Professional areas are affixed automatically, but they can be changed manually or removed altogether.

2. Click Generate Report.

You will receive an individual report on your vacancy: all competitors and vacancies are selected personally for your company.

The first tab is “Recommendations” .

Here is a summary of the results of the analysis:

  • level of competition in the market;
  • salary level;
  • general recommendations on the vacancy and its promotion.

Second tab – Competitors .

Competitors with similar vacancies are collected here, and a link is provided to a selection of such publications.

From the report, you can go to the page of each vacancy and see its description and conditions, or you can click on “See all similar vacancies” and go to the search with an individual selection.

Competitors are followed by salaries .

The salary range you entered for the vacancy is marked with a blue box. In comparison with it, you can look at the average salary for a similar vacancy from competitors: it is highlighted in blue and green.

The gray vertical line in the diagram indicates the median salaries.

Third tab – “Applicants” .

The first total figure is all applicants who fit the vacancy parameters. Further in the table, the analysis is given only for applicants who indicated the desired salary in the resume.

The middle column contains statistics on applicants who match your salary level. On the right and left in the columns are those who indicated a salary below or above the range you specified.

The “Job Seekers” tab contains statistics on almost all lines in the resume available for analysis.

Make the most of job analysis: this is a service that replaces many hours of manual database analysis and the purchase of expensive HR analytics tools. Don’t be afraid to change your recruiting tactics depending on the situation:

– Reduce requirements if there are few candidates in the market and high salaries. Sometimes it’s easier to train an employee in the right skills in the process than to lure a ready-made “star” with high demands to work with you.

– Raise your salary if you understand that the job has many competitors. So the selection will go faster, and the candidates will definitely correspond to the required level;

– Offer unique deals to stand out from other companies. For example, a rest room for those who work the night shift, transport to the metro if the office is located much further than competitors;

— Spend less on recruitment: in each report, we recommend the type of vacancy that suits your case and additional promotion opportunities on hh. ru;

— Explore site features that allow you to stand out from competitors: branded vacancies, employer pages that detail the company’s advantages, advertising promotion of ads, development of an HR brand. Research the needs of your employees and work on working conditions – and the market situation will affect you much less!

Average Salary in Germany – What are the Income in Germany

The average level of wages in Germany for 2019. How much do representatives of different professions earn on average in Germany.

Salary in Germany

The average monthly salary of a German full-time worker in 2019 is 3880€ gross, excluding bonuses and additional payments for overtime.

Let’s define that for comparison of incomes the monthly or annual payment for work on hire is accepted as a basis. Hourly wages or profits of legal entities are not included in the statistics.

German salary – Gehalt – remuneration received by employees on a monthly basis.

The main problem of finding out the level of wages in Germany – Germans are extremely reluctant to share this information . In private conversations, asking colleagues about income is expressly prohibited by contracts in many firms. It is unlikely that acquaintances will be able to talk about this topic. Even when vacancies are published, the salary is usually not indicated, but is negotiated separately at the interview. As a result, those sitting at neighboring tables in the office, with almost the same indicators, can earn differently, and significantly.

It’s good that there are data from the labor exchange, which are regularly published on the official website.

These are average values. In each case, the salary differs in one direction or another.

The next source is websites that collect income information anonymously. People share information on the condition of anonymity, everything is entered into a common database, which makes it possible to calculate certain average values ​​for various parameters. Relying on such data is not particularly worth it. No one checks the accuracy of the information entered.

For those who work in Germany (or plan to work here), there is a good way to find out the approximate salary level for their situation. The service is in German, but the main thing is to know the name of the profession – in order to choose the right specialty from the list. The service is free, but it requires you to leave an email and subscribe to the newsletter, from which you can unsubscribe immediately after receiving the result. So, follow the link
Gehalt-Check
Next, step by step, enter your age, gender, level of education, whether you work now, profession, managerial position, index of the city in Germany to which the check belongs – and email. You receive a letter containing a link to a page with results and, interestingly, with vacancies that match the specified conditions.

Separately, for migrants, I note: often the earnings of foreigners are lower than those of German colleagues , simply because otherwise why hire a foreigner? The reason is not only differences in qualifications or more working hours per week. Large differences in wages are noticeable even among professionals who are at the same level in experience and education.

When comparing German salaries, for example, with Russian ones, keep in mind that in Germany the amount before taxes is indicated in the contract . First of all, it is interesting how many people get their hands on it. For a complete understanding of wages in Germany, it is necessary to understand how the net is calculated from the German gross salary, as well as get more statistics.

In the countries of the former USSR, as a rule, the employer names the amount that the employee receives in his hands, and pays taxes and social contributions additionally. If you mentally add to Russian earnings the costs incurred by the employer, the contrast with German incomes will not be so striking.

In Germany, a person is considered to be below the poverty line if the income is 60% of the average monthly income in the country.

Dependence of income on specialty

Profession – the main criterion for the level of remuneration.

Higher education in Germany does not guarantee a high salary. But in general, in comparison with other groups of workers, on average, university graduates earn more.

If German students chose their future profession solely on the basis of income, the choice would be obvious – engineer, doctor or lawyer.

Doctors in Germany receive more than 5700 per month

The statistics do not give an accurate idea of ​​incomes above 5700€, as they are collected by the amount of pension contributions, which grow only up to a certain limit, and then remain fixed.

In addition to the above professions, management companies and other managers could have come to the first lines, but there the connection with the specialty in the diploma is not so obvious.

Worse than other holders of higher education in Germany, linguists and sociologists earn. Linguists have a problem with a large number of applicants: there are 25 unemployed for one open vacancy.

Wage does not always determine supply and demand. Yes, in the industrial sector, the lack of specialists has a positive effect on the income of workers, but the situation is different in the civil service.

For example, the situation with social workers. They can often only find a job in the civil service, averaging €3,750 gross. At the same time, due to the influx of refugees in Germany, for every 100 unemployed with a degree in social sciences, there are 92 vacancies.

Professions not requiring higher education

To get a decent salary in Germany, it is not necessary to have a university degree. Statistics show that among professions requiring secondary education, there are enough of those that allow you to earn at the level of higher education holders.

And here there are clear leaders – this applies primarily to aviation.

A clerk in a bank or an important account manager in a German trading company in the first 3 years after graduation receives an average of bachelor’s level.

Dependence of payment on activity

Wages in Germany are highly dependent on the German industry branch in which the firm does business. There are traditionally more “rich” money directions, where the mere belonging to the labor market forces you to pay more, because otherwise good specialists will be taken away by competitors.

Monthly pay Field of activity
5338€ Finance and insurance
5126€ Information technology
5041€ Energy
4900€ Freelancers
4367€ Education and teaching
4128€ Real Estate
4092€ Mining
4024€ Arts, entertainment, recreation
4012€ Industry
3893€ Medicine
3636€ Trade
3444€ Water supply
3219€ Construction
3055€ Transport, logistics
2425€ Hotel business

Firm size has a significant impact on the average income of workers in Germany.

  • 1-20 persons – 36165€
  • 21-50 – 40867€
  • 51-100 – 43204€
  • 101-1000 – 49451€
  • >1000 – 61108€

Therefore, when looking for a job in Germany, keep in mind that in large companies, a potential candidate has the right to hope for a higher pay.

Comparison of wages for men and women

Anyone who is at least a little interested in Germany probably knows that feminism is firmly on its feet here and politicians are fighting for gender equality as if the onset of a brighter future depends on it. However, the fact remains that women earn on average 21% less per hour than men. The wage gap between German men and women is one of the largest in the European Union.

The gap between the wages of women and men in Germany is narrowing very slowly.

Over the years, this difference is gradually decreasing, but the rate is extremely low. The problem here is not so much in inequality as in the fact that women usually work part-time . Without being present 40 hours a week at work, it will be extremely difficult to talk about a promotion with your boss. In addition, the accumulation of experience is slower. Well, women themselves are often more interested in the availability of a job than in the growth of their wages, so they do not particularly apply for an increase. There are also enough careerists among German women, but in general the picture is this.

In 2017, Germany passed a law allowing employees of enterprises with more than 200 employees to request information on the salaries of colleagues in comparable positions. And firms with more than 500 employees are required to regularly publish data on the average salary for all positions. According to the government, these measures will allow women to gain more arguments in a conversation with the boss about wage increases. In turn, the authorities, by publishing such data, can slow down the growth of incomes for men.

In Germany, men earn higher wages on average

Dependence of wages on age

Intuitively, the older a person gets, the more experience he accumulates and the higher the income. It makes no sense to draw a direct dependence of wages on age in Germany – no one pays workers more, just because they are older. But an indirect relationship between experience and income can be traced.

Age In the age group
20 30025€
25 36956€
30 42170€
35 46542€
40 48424€
45 48958€
50 49660€
55 49823€
60 50064€

Dependence of German wages on the region

Looking at the place of residence, the highest wages in Germany are paid in Hessen, which is not surprising. There is Frankfurt am Main – the European financial center. Slightly less on average earn in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Hamburg. The lowest level of earnings in the states of eastern Germany. Capital Berlin is in this plan approximately in the middle.

Earth As a percentage of the average German
Hesse 114.1%
Baden-Württemberg 108.6%
Hamburg 105.9%
Bavaria 105.1%
North Rhine-Westphalia 100.8%

Dynamics of salary growth in Germany

On average, incomes of Germans grow by 2-3% annually. Such growth covers inflation, because prices also rise by about this amount, which is completely normal for the capitalist model of the world.

Examples of German salaries for specific occupations

Civil servants

Policeman – 2800-4059€

Police service (Polizist) in Germany takes place in various types of police, from service at the city station to the criminal department. The salary of a German policeman is highly dependent on the specific position and class.

Depending on the direction of service (Laufbahn), the requirements for those wishing to become police officers are different, but in general, the absence of offenses, an impeccable reputation, good physical shape and psychological stability are required. School grades play a big role when you want to become an investigator or forensic scientist.

Policemen in Germany are paid decent salaries up to €4000 gross per month.

Soldier – 2210-3486€

Germany has a professional army, therefore, any soldier (Soldat) has a salary, like other professionals.

Physically healthy, psychologically stable young people are chosen to replenish the ranks of the Bundeswehr. However, the army also requires other specialists, ranging from plumbers to programmers, so in principle anyone can become a military man in Germany if he can fulfill the admission standards.

The salary of the military depends on the length of service, position, rank and availability of military specialties.

White Collar – Office Workers

Judge – 4187-6449€

In order to work as a judge in Germany (Richter), you must graduate from a university, pass a state exam, then go through two or three years of training, pass two more exams, and then you can start working with a probationary period of two years, during which you are constantly threatened with removal from office at any time and without explanation.

It goes without saying that judges must be independent, including in financial terms, so the salary of the arbiter in Germany is much higher than the average.

Lawyer – 2248-4444€

To work as a lawyer in Germany (Anwalt), you will have to get a higher education in the field of law and pass a state exam. Then you need to pass the practice (Referendar), which ends with the second state exam.

A lawyer is most often employed in a lawyer’s office until he starts his own business as a self-employed person. It is also possible to get a job in various companies that provide legal services, checks of contracts and other documents. It will not be superfluous to have a lawyer in a company earning in the field of production or trade.

Work of a lawyer – consultations in the field of legislation, preparation of lawsuits, protection of the client’s interests in court.

Tax consultant – 4552-7206€

Tax consultants (Steuerberater) are one of the most prestigious professions in Germany. The process of learning in the field of taxes is complex – endless study of laws, rules, filling out forms will require attentiveness, concentration and perseverance.

Tax consultants work as private entrepreneurs, in tax consultations, or as employees in large companies.

The main activity of tax consultants in Germany is assistance in filling out tax returns for individuals and financial reporting for companies.

Accountant – 2977-4064€

Accounting (Buchhalter) is not a separate profession in Germany. The specialty is obtained in courses or as part of another educational process, for example, in the course of training as a tax consultant.

In German companies, bookkeeping is rarely done by a single employee. The person who is engaged in maintaining financial statements has a lot of other responsibilities.

Small firms do not have an accountant on staff, but resort to the services of external consultants, hiring them on an hourly basis when necessary. In Germany, accountants are often entrepreneurs serving several firms at once.

Interior designer – 2350-3419€

Interior designers (Innenarchitekt) – a profession at the intersection of architecture, materials science and art. The task is to design the room in such a way that it is practical, safe and beautiful.

Very often it is the latter that influences the salaries of interior designers the most. The ability to create beauty without forgetting about reliability and practicality will allow you to accumulate an impressive portfolio.

There are two ways to obtain the title of Innenarchitekt – through direct study at a university, or as an additional title for sculptors or artists, acquired through practice and theoretical studies.

Musician – 2479-5017€

A musician in Germany (Musiker) often works as a self-employed person. The basis of income is teaching children to play musical instruments, performing in orchestras or groups.

For thousands of hours of study at a music school or university, a professional gets the opportunity to work on the special status of Freiberufler – as a free worker, which leads to significant tax benefits.

It is clear that the size of a musician’s earnings depends on personal professional qualities and the ability to devote himself to his work.

The earnings of a musician in Germany are unstable and rarely tied to employment.

Notary – 1919-3035€

Notary (Notar) acts as an intermediary in the conclusion of serious transactions, certifies copies and translations of documents.

In Germany, this work is combined with other legal activities. Of the 6,000 notaries in Germany, 75% are simultaneously practicing law.

Training for the profession of a notary lasts 3 years and allows you to work only in this specialty. But you can get permission to conduct notarial activities to any lawyer who meets the required conditions: legal education, 5 years of work experience, an exam.

Secretary – 2003-3071€

The secretary (Sekretär), or more often the secretary (Sekretärin), is responsible for supporting the boss in organizing work activities. Papers, planning meetings and business trips, other “turnover” – this is the responsibility of the secretaries.

There is no separate education for the profession, usually specialists in the organization of office work – Bürokaufmann / -frau work in positions.

Excellent knowledge of the language, and not only German, is practically necessary.

Social worker – 2490-3300€

Social workers (Sozialarbeiter) work in Germany in orphanages and nursing homes, care centers for the helpless and shelters for the homeless, support the disabled and the elderly.

Social workers can find employment in government agencies, medical facilities, legal clinics, and emergency services.

Vocational training in the specialty takes 3 years, after which it is necessary to pass the state exam. Candidates will need excellent knowledge of German, resistance to stressful situations, as well as the ability and desire to communicate with people.

Occupations related to medicine

Nurse – 2309-3146€

There are several names for the nursing profession in Germany – Krankenpflegerin, Krankenschwester or Pflegefachkraft.

The essence is the same – after three years of training in basic medical skills and nursing, you can go to look for work in a hospital, clinic, nursing home and other places where hard work is required for those in need of help.

Although the profession is responsible and very difficult, nurses and brothers earn not so much. There are not enough people who want to earn a living in this specialty in Germany, so there is an acute shortage of workers in the field of patient care.

There are many foreigners among the medical staff in Germany. Earnings do not inspire Germans, but attract immigrants.

Head of Care Service – 3072-4204€

Germany has a well-developed network of special services that support people in difficult times of life when they become helpless due to illness or accidents (Pflegedienst). Orderlies work in this service, and managers – Pflegedienstleitung manage.

The task of the head of the service is to organize the work of subordinates.

Due to a shortage of workers, managers often have to act as orderlies themselves and look after the wards. This position is mainly filled by experienced workers who have spent thousands of hours in the role of a nurse or assistant.

Nurse – 2380-3688€

Nurse (Pfleger) is one of the most sought-after professions in Germany. Caring for the helpless sick, the disabled, and the elderly requires special qualities that not everyone possesses.

You need to be physically strong and healthy, as you will have to lift and carry a lot of those who are unable to walk themselves. Possess a lot of knowledge of a medical and domestic nature, so as not to harm the wards. We must not forget about human qualities in order to take care of people in the most difficult periods of life. Moral stability is a must!

To work as a nurse in Germany, you need to get a vocational education and pass a state exam. This is one of the few professions that a migrant without a higher education, but with a medical secondary education, can take, although this will require at least a year of work as a trainee.

Physiotherapist – 1907-2507€

Physiotherapist (Physiotherapeut) in Germany is educated in 3 years. Its task is to help people recover from injuries or develop the physical abilities of the disabled through exercise, gymnastics and massage.

This specialty allows you to work in clinics and rehabilitation centers. Also, the services of a physiotherapist may be needed in a hotel with a SPA service, in a sports club or fitness center.

The highest earners are good physiotherapists who open their own private offices where they see patients on prescription and carry out prescribed procedures.

Ergotherapist – 1979-2706€

Ergotherapeut (Ergotherapeut) – a specialist in the rehabilitation of sensory motility, reaction, sense of touch. His job is to help recover from severe injuries associated with partial or complete loss of coordination. Occupational therapists also work with people with disabilities, trying to develop their weaknesses through games and exercises.

Usually a profession is obtained through a three-year training process in vocational schools. There is also an opportunity to get higher education in this specialty.

Occupational therapists usually work in their clinics, as private entrepreneurs or assistants, as well as in large rehabilitation centers, as employees.

Pharmacist – 2520-2998€

A pharmacist (Pharmazeut) in Germany works in the development, research and production of medicines. Also, pharmacists often take a place at the counters of pharmacies, as workers well versed in medical preparations.

You can also find a place in government agencies involved in the admission of drugs to the market and conducting testing.

In terms of education, this is usually a 3-year secondary vocational education, but there is also a higher education that allows you to work in research areas.

Apothecary – 2518-2984€

Pharmacist (Apotheker) in Germany is not the one who sells drugs in a pharmacy, but the owner of the pharmacy itself. Although nothing prevents pharmacists from working in other areas of pharmaceuticals, from the production of medicines to marketing.

After graduating as a pharmacist, one needs to complete another year of practice – Approbation – to obtain the status of a pharmacist. You can then choose whether to open your own business or join an existing one.

Blue collar workers – blue collar workers

Confectioner – 1510-2264€

Confectioners work in bakeries, cafes and restaurants, sometimes in hotels with a large number of guests, as well as in enterprises producing sweet pastries.

It’s a pretty hard job with the need for night shifts, but the salaries of confectioners in Germany are not the highest.

Confectioner is one of the lowest paid professions in Germany.

Painter – 2044-2694€

The painter (Maler) is engaged in exterior and interior painting of buildings. It sounds very simple, but in fact, the correct high-quality interior decoration is a whole science!

The painter’s training lasts three years, most of the time is spent on practical activities. You will have to master the painting and varnishing of various materials, study the impact of the external environment and many other aspects of work.

We must not forget about the creative component of the profession, because in the end the goal of the painter is to make it beautiful!

Carpenter – 1929-2615€

Carpenter (Zimmerer or Zimmermann) – a profession so ancient that now it even seems outdated. But if you think about it, woodworking is still relevant!

Roof frames, doors, wooden furniture, fences, interior decoration and many other things require the processing of wooden materials, which means that the carpenter’s hands are still valuable.

Profession training lasts 3 years. A funny detail – they prefer to take physically strong guys with strong backs as students, since in work they often have to lift and carry weights.

Plumber – 2130-3330€

Plumber (Installateur) in Germany is engaged in the installation and maintenance of various sanitary equipment: plumbing, sewerage, gas supply, and the like.

Training does not last 3 years and includes a large number of practical exercises.

Mechanical engineer – 3280-4859€

Mechanical engineer (Maschinenbauer) can work in Germany in the production, adjustment and repair of machine tools, robots and other industrial machines. There are many specializations for the profession.

Often, in addition to theoretical knowledge of mechanical engineering, mechanics also have quite practical skills, such as plumbing or welding.

A specific specialization in mechanics in Germany can be achieved in three years through a vocational education.

Specialties related to auto and transport

Car dealer – 2394-3934€

Car dealers in Germany (Automobilverkäufer) help customers choose the make and model of the car, advise on various issues of operation, place an order.

To become a car dealer in a German car dealership, you need a secondary education in the field of trade. Other technical automotive specialists can also retrain in the field of sales of automotive equipment. Autohouses first train salespeople for six months, of which at least 3 weeks are devoted to theory. To gain specialization in certain types of models or in various brands, employees undergo seminars.

The most important component of the work of a car salesman is the ability to communicate with customers, inspire confidence and positive emotions.

Bus driver – 1901-2549€

In addition to holding the relevant German license categories, a bus driver (Busfahrer) in Germany must complete a vocational training course that lasts 3 years.

Just being able to turn the steering wheel is not enough! The driver must provide services to passengers, sell tickets, monitor the condition of the bus.

Bus driver’s job is urban transport, intercity flights or school routes.

Subway driver – 1978-2719€

The task of the subway driver is to drive the train according to the schedule, control the disembarkation and embarkation of passengers, monitor the state of the train.

Work in the German underground is a prestigious, highly paid occupation that does not require a long process of obtaining an education.

The main advantage of working as a subway driver in Germany is the fast learning process.

Pilot – 4386-11139€

The profession of a pilot in Germany is in demand on passenger airlines, in the military and transport sectors.

Pilot training is linked to a specific company or organization in professional schools. Training is paid. To obtain a license to fly, you must listen to the theory, pass the practice and pass the exams. This will take two or three years. A pilot’s license for a small motorized aircraft will cost around 20,000€.

Then you need to look for a job and not lose your skills – a simple pilot leads to the loss of a license. Whoever is lucky will be able to get a job in a big company, where they will pay for retraining. However, in Germany there is no shortage of pilots, many licensed do not progress beyond amateur flying at the air clubs.

Unskilled work

Maid – 1461-1699€

Cleaning women in hotels (Zimmermädchen) in Germany is one of the low-paid professions that do not require high qualifications. Anyone can work as a maid.

However, hotel directors and recruiters started out as Roomboys. Having gained experience in the hotel business, seeing everything from the very bottom of the career ladder, it is easier to comprehend many details of hotel organization.

Hotel Administrator – 1748-2409€

The visiting card of the hotel is the person at the reception (Rezeptionist). In Russian, the name of the profession can most adequately be translated as “hotel administrator”.

Read what parents are saying about Childtime

When my son was 3, we traveled all around the area looking for a daycare. As educators, it becomes difficult not to look at details beyond a regular daycare. Many of the childcares we toured were good and would have been fine, but CHILDTIME was far above what we expected. There was such a welcoming atmosphere and the providers above all were so thoughtful and dedicated. The facilities at the Santa Ana site were also above the norm. It has been quite a few years since we first arrived and we continue to strongly believe in the care and first educational experiences that started there at CHILDTIME.

    my kids started in Kindergarten. At the time the school was great. since the introduction of the Mandarin Immersion Program (MIP), my kids have all expressed how they feel like they are not getting the same attention to their needs as the MIP program students are. This has been expressed to me from quite a few other parents. The test scores have really dropped for the school as well over the years.

    Teachers and staff are all great. The principal is always looking for ways to help students grow. It would be of great help to see more parent volunteers. My son has been going to here since Kinder and every teacher every year takes the time to help my son whenever he is falling behind. This year my son joined the robotics club and really enjoyed it.

    We love Salem Lutheran School. We currently have three kids attending Salem and they have never had a teacher they didn’t like. My husband and I are both educators and we are very pleased with the academics at Salem. They even offer 3-D printing and robotics classes in their junior high. The teachers are excellent on communication with the parents and we know that our kids are loved and cared for when they are at school. They have an AMAZING art program for an elementary school. Our kids have made friends for life at Salem. I would recommend this school in a heartbeat to anyone.

    My children are not Hispanic. The teachers and administrators did nothing when my children experienced bullying. There are no activities for children to experience diversity. There is such minimal parent teacher contact. There is no challenge here for students, unless children are only spanish speaking. There is such minimal college encouragement.

    GreatSchools Rating

    Parent Rating Average

    The Principal, teachers and most parents are highly involved in the student’s education. They have great programs like Meet the Masters where students learn about famous artists and do similar artwork. That program was funded by their own PTA program. They also have wind class, my oldest is playing the clarinet and loves it! They also have a lot of educational field trips where kids get to see what they are learning about. Best school, Best teachers and Best Principal and Vice Principal!!! The Ranking is low only because it’s an overall score that they get for all grades. Taking it into consideration that there is a lot of English learner students starting kinder that did not previously attend school. Once you attend the monthly meetings the Principal discusses the growth of each grade level and that’s where you see the students improvement by their grade. Highly recommend this school!
