What to Know About the Growing Popularity of Employer-Sponsored Child Care

What to Know About the Growing Popularity of Employer-Sponsored Child Care

TweetShare

The last several years have served as one prolonged watershed moment for the early care and education sector.

The pandemic and its many aftershocks — including a hit to labor force participation among women and a severe early childhood staffing shortage — helped many Americans unacquainted with these issues begin to understand the integral role that early care and education play in economic and social stability.

Many employers became more aware of the challenges of raising children in the United States, where child care and early childhood education are not guaranteed and, in many places and for many families, are prohibitively expensive and inaccessible.

The national annual average price of child care in 2022 was $10,853. In some parts of the country, it can cost more than double that. A federal solution to this widespread and well-documented scourge has not emerged, though Congress came close to passing transformative legislation around child care in 2021. While other efforts have been proposed — and some have even passed — at the state and local levels, many working families are still left in the lurch.

As a result, some employers have stepped in, offering a range of child care benefits in hopes of attracting and retaining qualified workers in a tight labor market — the idea being that, if employees are happy with their child care arrangements, they will show up to work more focused and satisfied.

In a recent Care.com survey administered to leaders from 500 companies, 46 percent said they are prioritizing child care benefits in 2023. That probably has something to do with the fact that nearly 80 percent said they’ve found that child care benefits boost their company’s productivity, recruitment and retention.

But as far as solutions to child care go, is employer involvement a good one? Not everyone thinks so.

The growing popularity of this approach — and the controversy surrounding it — was the subject of a recent in-depth story that EdSurge co-published with USA Today, following interviews with a dozen early care and education providers, policy experts, advocators and employers, as well as a visit to an on-site employer-sponsored child care program.

Here are the key takeaways from that reporting:

1. Employer participation in child care is gaining steam.

KinderCare, a large for-profit operator of early care and education programs across the country, has seen its employer-sponsored child care program grow from 400 employer clients in 2019 to 600 today — representing a 50 percent increase. Those clients include companies such as Cisco, Google and Walgreens. Meanwhile, WeeCare, a network of mostly in-home child care providers, launched a concierge-style child care benefit service in late 2021, that now has more than 100 corporate clients.

Even the federal government is warming to the idea of employer-sponsored child care: In February, the Biden administration announced a plan that makes federal subsidies for semiconductor manufacturers contingent on companies’ commitment to providing child care assistance to employees.

2. Child care benefits come in many shapes and sizes.

On-site child care centers are a popular and visible approach to employer-sponsored child care, in which employers typically partner with a third-party operator such as KinderCare or Bright Horizons to build and manage a child care program in or near the facility where employees are centrally located. However, this is one of many models. Employers can also partner with established child care programs in their communities to reserve “slots” for employees. They can offer “back-up care” for employees when child care needs arise unexpectedly. And they can provide financial assistance to employees, via pre-tax benefits such as dependent care flexible savings accounts or monthly stipends to offset the cost of child care for families.

3. Families want maximum flexibility.

“On-site child care used to be THE thing,” said Dan Figurski, president of the KinderCare division that helps employers build out child care benefits. “Now, people want more flexible arrangements.” Today, many of the employees who once reported in person every day to company offices are now working remotely some or all of the time. As a result, on-site child care has lost some of its convenience and appeal. KinderCare’s Tuition Benefit program, which allows families to use their workplace benefits at any of the 1,500 KinderCare centers across the country, has seen a 40 percent increase in participation since the pandemic began. Financial benefits such as stipends toward the cost of child care seem more likely to prosper in this new era.

4. Workers have unequal access to child care benefits.

One of the arguments against employer-provided child care is that, like other job-linked benefits such as health care, it is typically available to some — not all — employees. A part-time worker likely wouldn’t get to take advantage of their employer’s child care benefits. People who work nontraditional hours — say a construction or health care worker on the night shift — are also less likely to be offered child care that meets their needs. Historically, job-linked child care benefits have been available to white-collar employees, not shift workers.

Some people — employers and child care operators among them — would argue this is changing. The Dollywood Company, which runs a theme park and resort in eastern Tennessee with 3,800 employees, offers monthly financial assistance for child care in lieu of an on-site center so that the benefit could be available to all workers, from the ride operators to accountants, regardless of their hours.

Still, data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows employer-provided child care benefits remain rare among low earners.

5. This approach is not embraced by all.

Employer-sponsored child care is an idea that has split the early care and education sector in recent months. One faction of the field believes that it is an acceptable solution in the absence of a perfect one, and that it will suffice while they wait for the large public investment that many have been advocating for for years. The other feels that employer involvement could distract and detract from the push for a new, better system.

Elliot Haspel, author of “Crawling Behind: America’s Childcare Crisis and How to Fix It,” put it this way in a recent essay in the Atlantic: “As America learned with health care, if we get used to a service being tied to employment, that idea can become entrenched and very hard to change. Today’s stopgap measures become tomorrow’s status quo. Marching down such a path will make it even harder to gain the momentum needed to build and fund a child-care system that works for everyone.”

Cat sitter – Sir Cat

Cat sitter

09 July 2022

How often have you faced the problem that there is no one to leave your pet with when you leave. We are sure that this question is relevant for you, so we have devoted an article to the question of where to find a nanny for a cat.

If you have to leave, then a cat sitter is vital. Especially if you plan to be away for more than three or four days.

The thing is that cats, contrary to prejudices, are very attached to humans and love them no less than dogs. Therefore, prolonged loneliness is fraught for a pet with the development of depression, which can flow into various, both acute and chronic diseases.

If the absence of the owner is short – 3-4 days, then you can safely leave the animal. But, again, this is acceptable only if:

• The cat has no health problems
• The animal does not need daily medication
• The diet does not involve frequent fractional feeding, when food should be given in small portions 4-5 times a day. As a rule, this is indicated for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.
• The cat is not pregnant or, if pregnant, is not scheduled to give birth within the next 1-2 weeks.
• The nature and temperament of the cat, balanced and no behavioral problems.

Only if your pet does not have the above problems and signs, then it can be left alone. But take care to create optimal conditions for pastime.

• Sufficient food supply
• Pour purified water into a larger container
• Fill the tray with more filler or install a duplicate tray.
• Leave your pet’s favorite toys and bed freely.
• Just in case, leave the keys to the apartment to someone you know, so that in case of your longer absence, there will be someone to look after the animal.

But not every owner is able to go away and leave his pet alone, so the search for a nanny for a cat is very relevant. We’ll tell you where to find it.

Professional petsitters

The cat and dog sitter service is relatively new and is only available in big cities. But it is already quite popular. The bottom line is that agency employees select a person who, in your absence, will come to your home and take care of the pet.

If we are talking about a dog, then this is feeding, games and a mandatory walking of the animal 2-3 times a day.

With cats everything is easier and more difficult at the same time. At first glance, they do not need to be walked – just change the tray and add food. And if necessary, give the right medicine, if there are such prescriptions. But an animal needs human attention – it needs to be petted, played with, etc. But not all pets make contact, many simply hide or even attack the nanny. Therefore, make sure that the pet does not show aggression and that contact with the petsitter is established before you leave.

Service for finding a cat sitter is, of course, quite convenient, but has pitfalls:

• Not every pet owner will agree to let a stranger in. Many do not trust, fearing to fall into the clutches of thieves and scammers. It’s great if the house has security cameras that you can connect to online.
• Due to the novelty of the service, it is not always possible to establish cooperation with experienced employees who know how to deal with animals.
• Such a service may simply not be provided in your city.

Hotel for cats

Modern hotels for cats have a high level of service, so this is the best way to find a cat sitter.

The advantages of such organizations are undeniable:

• Qualified personnel with significant experience in interacting with animals or even specialized education. Such professional nannies for a cat know when the animal is in the mood to play or caress, and when it is not necessary to touch it and leave it alone.
• 24-hour video surveillance. The camera is installed in every room. The owner, using a smartphone, can connect to the camera in real time and make sure that everything is in order with the cat.
• Comfortable rooms made of tempered glass. The material was chosen for a reason – it does not absorb odors, glass numbers are easy to clean and, in addition, the animal has a perfect view.
• Each hotel for cats has a veterinarian on staff and a contract concluded with a veterinary clinic for medical support. Before being admitted to the hotel, the cat is examined. If you leave the animal for a long time, then the manipulations can be repeated.
• Affordable cost of maintenance.
• Strict compliance with all instructions for keeping the animal.

If you need to find a qualified nanny for a cat, then in the hotel Sir Kot you will find everything you need. Book and find out about available rooms on the site.

features of working in American families and tips for successful employment

The nanny profession in the USA is one of the most popular among Russian-speaking emigrants. Some do it because of their love for children, others because of the ease of employment, because for this, as a rule, you do not need to obtain a work permit or take special courses for nannies. People have different motives for such work, but almost everyone has one thing in common: usually nannies from the post-Soviet countries prefer to work in Russian-speaking families, where they can easily find a common language with both parents and children.

However, some women would like to try babysitting for an American family, all of whose members were born and raised in the United States. And in this case, they run the risk of encountering some unique features that are not found in working with Russian-speaking families. So in this article, let’s take a closer look at all these features so that they are not a surprise for future nannies.

What you need to know about the specifics of working as a nanny in English-speaking families in the USA?

Working as a nanny in American families has its own characteristics compared to working in Russian-speaking families in the United States. If you want to start working with English-speaking people, then you need to know about these features in advance. Below we will look at some of them.

English

And you need to start, of course, with knowledge of the English language. When studying with a child, spending a lot of time with him, you will simply need to find contact, and it will be impossible to do this without a language. In addition, parents are unlikely to want to hire a person who can only speak one language that is completely incomprehensible to them.

To better understand the situation, imagine yourself in the shoes of the child’s parents. Would you like to hire a nanny for your child, say, from Pakistan, who not only will not be able to understand you or the child normally, but also, God forbid, the child itself, due to spending a long time with such a nanny, will eventually begin to better understand someone else’s speech than native?

So you need to remember: knowledge of English at least at an intermediate level is the basis when you are trying to get a job with an American family. Exceptions may be in very rare cases. This is either if the parents save a lot and are ready to take any candidate, just to pay as little as possible, but it is unlikely that you yourself would like to work with such people. Or if one of the parents is ethnically Russian, Ukrainian, whom he himself moved with his parents to the United States, as a child, does not know his native language, but really wants to attach his child to his native roots. In theory, this situation is possible, but still unlikely.

Cultural Traditions and Traditions

Understand what is and is not customary to do and say in the American environment. I will give a banal, but quite probable example: in Russian-speaking countries, in ordinary life we ​​can use the word “negro” in relation to black people, not trying to offend anyone with this word, but simply because many were taught from the school bench that this is how to call black people – This is fine. In the United States, this word cannot have a neutral character, since it is firmly glued to the country’s slaveholding period.

Now imagine that you accidentally used this word in front of a child who, due to his very young age, may later start using this word on the street or at school, considering this to be the norm. And in the end, this will create problems for both him and his parents.

Of course, you will probably not know all the cultural and linguistic features of Americans before you start working with English-speaking families, but this is quite normal. It is important to have a basic understanding of US language and culture, and the rest will come with experience.

And to make it a little easier for you at the very beginning, I dare to recommend that you do a few things that will give you some minimal understanding of American culture:

1. Read American literature. The United States has given the world a huge amount of great works that everyone should read, and even more so a person who is going to work closely with the Americans. The compositions of the American classic John Steinbeck are ideal for this. If we draw parallels, then Steinbeck is the American Tolstoy or Sholokhov, who wrote mainly about the plight of the American working class. Reading Steinbeck is very easy and insanely interesting. Of all his works, I would like to single out the novel “Grapes of Wrath”, the story “About Mice and Men”, as well as “Russian Diary” – non-fiction, which Steinbeck wrote while on a trip to the post-war Soviet Union. This book will be of particular interest because in it the writer often compares the American and Soviet ways of life.

2. Watch original American movies and TV series. It is better to choose not action movies or science fiction, but ordinary comedies, sitcoms or dramas. So you will begin to understand American life a little better, and also begin to understand how Americans communicate with each other, what slang expressions they use. I always recommend watching Friends. First, because you definitely won’t get bored. Secondly, all the characters on the show are young people who discuss the same problems that we all face – looking for work, washing clothes, building relationships, going on vacation. Watching how they communicate with each other, you will understand how you can communicate with the Americans. However, perhaps today it is already a little outdated, so you can choose something more modern.

Job Requirements

When looking for a job as a nanny for English-speaking families, you may find that the requirements of Americans are somewhat different from those of Russian-speaking residents of the United States. Let’s take a look at some of these differences.

First difference

The experience of their potential nanny is very important for Americans. While Russian-speaking families do not always require the candidate to have experience, limiting themselves only to the fact that the woman is hardworking and pleasant in communication, Americans almost always require the nanny to already have at least two, and preferably three years of work experience in the profession.

The good news is that you can lie or somehow “embellish” your resume with this experience by saying that you worked as a nanny in your home country. American employers will not be able to check this. Your main task then will be not to lose face at the interview and charm your future employers.

Second difference

Americans are more likely than Russian-speaking families to want a nanny to have a pet. For them, this, firstly, is a living example of the fact that you already constantly care about someone. And secondly, Americans themselves often get dogs or cats at home, and it is important for them that you know how to find contact with an animal and sometimes help them walk with a pet or feed it.

Third difference

For American families, sometimes it’s not enough just to see and talk to you at the interview. Sometimes they want to see a background check that would confirm your responsibility and the absence of violations of the law in the past. Therefore, sometimes babysitting agencies ask for SSN to do this check. However, this does not always happen, so you should not worry too much if you are going to work without documents.

Nanny in the USA: advantages and disadvantages of working in an American family

Of course, any job has its advantages and disadvantages. The babysitting profession is no exception. Below, let’s take a look at the positive and negative aspects of working with American families.

Nanny for a child: advantages of the profession

The first and most important thing is a reliable salary

In fact, although there is a myth that Americans usually pay nannies more than Russian speakers, this is actually not true. The average salary for a nanny in America ranges between $15 and $25 an hour. It doesn’t matter what language your employers speak.

Everything depends on the wealth of a particular family, as well as their willingness to adequately pay for your work. But the plus is something else. Americans are less likely to deceive their employees. This is not due to the fact that they are morally better than Russian-speaking people. Not at all. It’s just that among the Russian-speaking families there are many who once upon a time, just like you, moved to the United States, were in your place and understand that you are new in the country, do not yet know many local laws, do not know how to properly defend your rights, do not know where to complain, how to hire a lawyer. And some dishonest Russian speakers may want to take advantage of your ignorance.

Americans, on the other hand, have not experienced such hardships of moving, do not have such experience, and it often does not even occur to them that you may not know how to protect your rights. That is why working with Americans can sometimes be more reliable than with people from Eastern Europe.

The second is cultural integration

Another very significant advantage of working as a nanny in an English-speaking American family is the daily contact with the culture and traditions of the people of America.

Working and communicating with Russian speakers, you are unlikely to learn the peculiarities of American slang, as well as how they really celebrate in the USA, for example, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas or Halloween. However, all this and much more will be available to you when working with the Americans.

Disadvantages of working as a Russian-speaking nanny in an English-speaking family

Of course, the disadvantages of working as a nanny in an American family for someone can be all the features that I have already written about above. Someone does not know English, someone is not ready to put up with the American way of life in everyday life. I will not list all this again, so as not to waste your time.

At this point, perhaps, it is worth noting just one important drawback, which in any case will accompany you in such work – this is the distance from your own culture.

The fact is that by constantly working for Americans, communicating mainly with them, living everyday with the affairs and problems of people from a different culture, you will gradually become more and more like them: adopt their habits, sometimes even use various English words in their native speech, stop being interested in news from their homeland, becoming more and more interested in the life of Americans.

Of course, this doesn’t have to happen to you. It is possible that you will be in constant contact with fellow immigrants in the US, but maybe not. And here you need to ask yourself the question: do you want to penetrate so deeply into American culture that you eventually forget yours? Perhaps you still would like to live in the USA more, but continue to communicate with people from your own country? Maybe you want to read Pushkin’s fairy tales or Shevchenko’s poems to your child before bedtime more than the stories of Mark Twain?

Try to ask yourself this question in advance, even before you look for babysitting jobs and get a job with the Americans. And this, frankly, applies not only to those who would like to work as a nanny in an American family, but also to many others who get a job in some American company, go to study at an American university or start a family with an American or an American.

How to write a resume for a nanny job in the US?

Let’s say that you weighed all the pros and cons of working as a nanny for the Americans, and came to the conclusion that at least you want to get such an experience. Then it’s time to start writing your resume. It must be remembered that this is the first and, perhaps, the most important step in finding such a job, which must be done correctly.

Here is a list of what you need to include in your resume:

1. General information. Please provide your full name, contact details (phone and email) and residential address.

2. Professional experience. Describe your experience as a nanny, starting with your most recent job. List the dates, family name, and ages of the children you have worked with. Describe your responsibilities and accomplishments. If you do not have such work experience, then it is better to lie and write that you have already worked as a nanny in your native country. The employer cannot verify this. Or, if you are too young to have had a similar experience, write that you cared for younger siblings. Anything will do. The main thing is to show that you already have a positive experience with children.

3. Education and courses. List your education, including high school, college, or university, and any courses or training related to child care or development, if you have taken any. In order to be a nanny even without work experience in the USA, you do not need any education, but it is necessary to show that you are capable of learning, that you are a versatile and interesting person.

4. Skills and qualities. List the skills and qualities that make you a good nanny candidate. These may include skills in caring for children of a certain age, the ability to play and interact with them, organizational skills and responsibility.

5. Recommendations. Attach references from previous employers or parents you have worked with. Recommendations can confirm your professionalism and reliability in work.

This is how a babysitter resume looks like. Source: myperfectresume.com Also on this site you can find even more examples and make your own resume according to a specific template.

In addition to all of the above, I would recommend that you attach a cover letter that details your work experience, motivation, and why you are a good fit for an American family job. Below is an example of such a letter in English.

Where can I find a job as a nanny?

You have sorted out your resume, and now you are faced with the question of where to find a job as a nanny in the USA and publish your CV. And with this, the Internet will help you, first of all, and the classic offline search second (note: in English it sounds like “searching” and is translated into Russian as “search”). Here are some of these ways to find a job as a nanny in the United States.

Bulletin boards and specialized web resources

There are job sites where you can find vacancies for nannies. Some of them include:

• Care – This website is suitable for anyone who is looking for any job related to caring for someone. Through it, you can get a job as a nanny, a nurse for the elderly, an animal walker and many others. The main thing is that the work should be connected with looking after someone.

• Sittercity – This resource is designed primarily for babysitters. The difference between such a person and a nanny lies in the fact that the babysitter does not constantly raise children most of the time of the day, but only looks after the child when the parents need to go somewhere or leave for several hours or days. Such work can be an excellent additional income, but also through this resource they are looking for nannies to take care of raising a child on an ongoing basis, so you can get a full-time job.

• Nanny Lane is another site designed for those who are looking for a job as a nanny in major American cities. Very convenient and clear portal. You can choose in advance how you want to work: full-time or look after children only on certain days or hours.

• BAZAR. club section “Nanny jobs in the USA” – on our resource you can mainly find jobs as a nanny in Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking families, but sometimes vacancies are posted by people from mixed marriages, in which one of the parents speaks only English. These families need a bilingual nanny to help parents raise a bilingual child.

US Families Babysitting Agencies

These agencies typically provide services to parents who are looking for qualified and reliable nannies for their children. You, as a nanny, can use the services of one of these agencies to put you in touch with future employers. Here’s how nanny agencies work:

1. Parents apply to the agency with a request to find a nanny. They may specify criteria such as the child’s age, work schedule, experience, language skills, and other requirements.

2. The agency selects and matches parents with appropriate candidates. They can use their database, contact existing nannies, or search new platforms.

3. The agency conducts interviews with potential nannies, checks their work experience, education, past jobs and certificates. Some agencies, as I wrote earlier, may do criminal background checks or other security checks.

4. After evaluating candidates, the agency provides information about potential nannies to parents. They can provide resumes, background checks, letters of recommendation, and other information to help parents make their final hiring decision.

5. If the parents are interested in one of the candidates, the agency helps to establish contact between the parents and the nanny. Parents can conduct a personal interview or meeting with the candidate to evaluate them in person.

6. After the nanny gets a job, some agencies provide support and support to both the parents and the nanny. They can help with pay, contract, work schedules, and possible issues.

These agencies are usually paid by parents who are looking for a nanny for their child, so you don’t have to worry about spending anything and end up with nothing. () You should not contact those agencies that take money from the nannies themselves, and even in advance, before they find a job for them. It is highly likely that you have stumbled upon a scammer. Or you can wait a very long time for a suitable vacancy for you, since the agency has already received money from you and is no longer interested in prompt assistance to you.

Most reliable agencies either take a one-time fee from the parents or take a percentage of the nanny’s salary over a set period of time. I advise you to work only with such agencies. Below I will give examples of some of them.

• TINY Treasures NYC is an agency based in New York but operates in all major US cities.

• Westside Nannies is an agency from Los Angeles that, in addition to finding nannies, also helps with adoption and even with the search for surrogate mothers for future parents.

• Chicago Nannies – Nanny agency in Chicago. Help with work on a permanent and temporary basis. They are also looking for jobs for housekeepers, home assistants and carers for the elderly.

Classic media

Some families seek out a nanny directly through advertisements in local newspapers or on bulletin boards in shops and schools. Pay attention to such announcements and contact the parents if you are interested in the offer.

Recommendations from relatives and friends

Ask your friends, colleagues and parents with whom you have worked in the past about possible babysitting vacancies. Recommendations can be very helpful when looking for a similar job in the US.

Real stories about babysitting in the US in American families

Also, before you go to work as a babysitter in an American family, I recommend that you look and read the maximum number of stories of people who already have experience in such work. This will help you understand that all families are different and the situations that you can find yourself in can also be just an infinite number (both positive and negative). Fortunately, today social networks and video platforms allow each person to freely share their unique experience with other people.

For example, the girl Polina, who moved to New York from Belarus several years ago, spoke in a Youtube video about her personal pros and cons of working as a nanny in an American family:

I highly recommend that you watch as many of these videos as possible to better understand the real experience of people who are already working or have worked as a nanny.

Mistakes in work that nannies often make

A Russian-speaking nanny working in American families can make some common mistakes. I have already mentioned some of them in one way or another, but it will not be superfluous to do it again:

1. Misunderstanding of cultural differences.

Lack of understanding of American culture and certain customs can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts with parents. It is important to study and adapt to the mentality as well as the accepted way of life in the American family. This is especially important if you combine work with living in a family home.

2. Insufficient knowledge of English.

Limited English proficiency can make it difficult to communicate with parents and children. Strive to constantly improve your language skills.

3. Failure to set boundaries.

Some nannies may have trouble setting boundaries and following the rules set by their parents. It is important to follow their instructions and be flexible in working with the family.

4. Insufficient communication.

Incorrect or insufficient communication with parents can lead to dissatisfaction and misunderstanding. Try to be open, considerate and honest in your communication.

5. Expectations not met.

It is important to discuss and clarify employers’ expectations of you as a nanny in order to avoid disagreement and frustration in the process. Sometimes parents think that they hire not only a nanny, but also a housekeeper all rolled into one. You, in turn, may not want to clean the house every day and work in the kitchen, cooking for the whole family. You planned only to provide babysitting services, but no more. This point must be discussed in advance, clearly outlining your responsibilities.

Answers to frequently asked questions about babysitting

How much does a babysitter cost per hour?

Average salary is $15-25 per hour. It all depends on the state, city, your experience and the wealth of the particular family you work for.

Do I need to take additional training for nannies to work in an American family?

No, nannies are not required by US law to take any courses or special education for the job.

Do I need to have any document to become a nanny in the USA?

Desirable, but not required. The presence of SSN and Work Permit will never be a minus, but you can work from the first days of moving to the USA without having any documents with you.

And finally

Babysitting can be a very interesting and lucrative job for many immigrant women in the US. Working in an American family, you can get a stable and good income for living in America. You will also be able to plunge into the life of a real American family, find out how they live, establish good trusting relationships with family members and their friends.

Higher education – About Anatoly Fedorovich Koni

• ha and theater critic Fyodor Alekseevich Koni and actress Irina Semyonovna Yuryeva (on the stage of Sandunova). Until the age of twelve, he was brought up at home, then he graduated from the three-year German school of St. Anna (Annenschule), after which he studied at the gymnasium for three years. In the penultimate class of the gymnasium, he took advantage of the opportunity and passed the entrance exams to the university, along with those who received home education, without completing the gymnasium course. Anatoly Koni became a student of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. He decided to refuse the help of his parents and earned a living by studying with students. Moreover, he gave lessons in a variety of disciplines: from literature and history to botany and zoology. When St. Petersburg University was closed in the winter of 1861 due to student unrest, Koni transferred to Moscow University, but already to the Faculty of Law. He prepared a dissertation for the degree of candidate “On the right of necessary defense.” In June 1865, Koni graduated from the university course with a degree in law, and in December of the same year, his dissertation was published as an appendix to the Moscow University Gazette.

  During all the years of studying at the Faculty of Law, Anatoly Koni had only one B out of 69 examination grades – in the history of Roman law.

  The rector of the university offered Koni to start reading a course in criminal law, but he refused, as he considered himself insufficiently prepared. The trip of the young scientist to a foreign internship accepted at that time could not take place, since after the assassination attempt on Alexander II in April 1866, the government stopped this practice.

  Anatoly Koni joined the civil service, becoming a lawyer in the Military Ministry. The beginning of his work coincided with a serious reform of the Russian court (“Basic Provisions” 1862, “Judicial Charters” 1864). For the first time in the country, a public court appeared with debates of the parties before a panel of elected jurors, and the independence of the courts from the administration was proclaimed. Anatoly Koni enthusiastically accepted the reform and decided to go to work in the judiciary. He began working in the St. Petersburg Court of Justice as an assistant secretary, in 1867 he became the secretary of the prosecutor of the Moscow Court of Justice. In the same year, he was appointed deputy prosecutor, first of the Sumy, then the Kharkov district court. In 1869was transferred to the same position in the St. Petersburg District Court. Participated in the implementation of judicial reform in the Kazan district, as a district court prosecutor. In 1871 he was appointed prosecutor of the St. Petersburg District Court, four years later he was appointed vice director of the department of the Ministry of Justice.

  Anatoly Koni became famous as a court speaker. A large audience gathered to listen to his speeches. Koni was the chairman of the court in the case of Vera Zasulich. Anatoly Koni also participated in other high-profile lawsuits. He was the accuser in the case of Abbess Mitrofania of the Serpukhov Monastery, guilty of fraud and forgery of bills. In 1881, at the request of the new Minister of Justice, Dmitry Nabokov, the father of the famous writer V.D. Nabokov, Koni took over as chairman of the department of the St. Petersburg Court of Justice for civil cases. In 1888, he was the head of the investigation into the crash of the royal train at Borki station. At 1892 year Koni became a senator. In 1907 he was a member of the State Council, and in 1910 he received the rank of real privy councillor. After the revolution of 1917, Koni’s main occupation was teaching. He lectured at St. Petersburg Universities, at the Cooperative Institute, at the Living Word Institute, as well as at various cultural and educational organizations. His studies concern not only criminal proceedings and the history of the Russian court, but also Russian literature, theory and history of oratory.

  Anatoly Koni is also known as a writer and publicist. In 1881 he wrote his first literary work, Dostoevsky as a Criminologist. In addition to court speeches, four volumes of his memoirs “On the Path of Life”, stories about old Petersburg, essays about Pushkin, Lermontov, Nekrasov, Tolstoy, Korolenko, Turgenev, Chekhov were published. On January 8, 1900, Anatoly Koni was elected an honorary academician of the Academy of Sciences in the category of fine literature. Anatoly Koni was personally acquainted with Leo Tolstoy and corresponded with him for many years. He told the writer, in particular, about two cases from his legal practice. In the first, in order to escape from an unloved wife, the husband faked suicide. In the second, a prostitute was tried on charges of poisoning a merchant who visited a brothel, and the man who had once seduced this girl was included in the jury. From these stories, the plots of Tolstoy’s works “The Living Corpse” and “Resurrection” were born. The novel “Resurrection” Tolstoy even called in his letters “Konev’s story”.

  On January 10, 1918, he was elected professor of the department of criminal law at Petrograd University. From 1917 to 1920 he delivered over a thousand lectures. September 17, 1927 Anatoly Fedorovich Koni died in Leningrad.

  The highest departmental medal of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation was named after Anatoly Koni.

Cat sitter – Sir Cat

Cat sitter

09 July 2022

How often have you faced the problem that there is no one to leave your pet with when you leave. We are sure that this question is relevant for you, so we have devoted an article to the question of where to find a nanny for a cat.

If you have to leave, then a cat sitter is vital. Especially if you plan to be away for more than three or four days.

The thing is that cats, contrary to prejudices, are very attached to humans and love them no less than dogs. Therefore, prolonged loneliness is fraught for a pet with the development of depression, which can flow into various, both acute and chronic diseases.

If the absence of the owner is short – 3-4 days, then you can safely leave the animal. But, again, this is acceptable only if:

• The cat has no health problems
• The animal does not need daily medication
• The diet does not involve frequent fractional feeding, when food should be given in small portions 4-5 times a day. As a rule, this is indicated for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.
• The cat is not pregnant or, if pregnant, is not scheduled to give birth within the next 1-2 weeks.
• The nature and temperament of the cat, balanced and no behavioral problems.

Only if your pet does not have the above problems and signs, then it can be left alone. But take care to create optimal conditions for pastime.

• Sufficient food supply
• Pour purified water into a larger container
• Fill the tray with more filler or install a duplicate tray.
• Leave your pet’s favorite toys and bed freely.
• Just in case, leave the keys to the apartment to someone you know, so that in case of your longer absence, there will be someone to look after the animal.

But not every owner is able to go away and leave his pet alone, so the search for a nanny for a cat is very relevant. We’ll tell you where to find it.

Professional petsitters

The cat and dog sitter service is relatively new and is only available in big cities. But it is already quite popular. The bottom line is that agency employees select a person who, in your absence, will come to your home and take care of the pet.

If we are talking about a dog, then this is feeding, games and a mandatory walking of the animal 2-3 times a day.

With cats everything is easier and more difficult at the same time. At first glance, they do not need to be walked – just change the tray and add food. And if necessary, give the right medicine, if there are such prescriptions. But an animal needs human attention – it needs to be petted, played with, etc. But not all pets make contact, many simply hide or even attack the nanny. Therefore, make sure that the pet does not show aggression and that contact with the petsitter is established before you leave.

Service for finding a cat sitter is, of course, quite convenient, but has pitfalls:

• Not every pet owner will agree to let a stranger in. Many do not trust, fearing to fall into the clutches of thieves and scammers. It’s great if the house has security cameras that you can connect to online.
• Due to the novelty of the service, it is not always possible to establish cooperation with experienced employees who know how to deal with animals.
• Such a service may simply not be provided in your city.

Hotel for cats

Modern hotels for cats have a high level of service, so this is the best way to find a cat sitter.

The advantages of such organizations are undeniable:

• Qualified personnel with significant experience in interacting with animals or even specialized education. Such professional nannies for a cat know when the animal is in the mood to play or caress, and when it is not necessary to touch it and leave it alone.
• 24-hour video surveillance. The camera is installed in every room. The owner, using a smartphone, can connect to the camera in real time and make sure that everything is in order with the cat.
• Comfortable rooms made of tempered glass. The material was chosen for a reason – it does not absorb odors, glass numbers are easy to clean and, in addition, the animal has a perfect view.
• Each hotel for cats has a veterinarian on staff and a contract concluded with a veterinary clinic for medical support. Before being admitted to the hotel, the cat is examined. If you leave the animal for a long time, then the manipulations can be repeated.
• Affordable cost of maintenance.
• Strict compliance with all instructions for keeping the animal.

If you need to find a qualified nanny for a cat, then in the hotel Sir Kot you will find everything you need. Book and find out about available rooms on the site.

features of working in American families and tips for successful employment

The nanny profession in the USA is one of the most popular among Russian-speaking emigrants. Some do it because of their love for children, others because of the ease of employment, because for this, as a rule, you do not need to obtain a work permit or take special courses for nannies. People have different motives for such work, but almost everyone has one thing in common: usually nannies from the post-Soviet countries prefer to work in Russian-speaking families, where they can easily find a common language with both parents and children.

However, some women would like to try babysitting for an American family, all of whose members were born and raised in the United States. And in this case, they run the risk of encountering some unique features that are not found in working with Russian-speaking families. So in this article, let’s take a closer look at all these features so that they are not a surprise for future nannies.

Article content:

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of babysitting in America?

• How to write a resume for a nanny for a job search?

• Where can I find a job as a nanny?

• And finally

What you need to know about the specifics of working as a nanny in English-speaking families in the USA?

Working as a nanny in American families has its own characteristics compared to working in Russian-speaking families in the United States. If you want to start working with English-speaking people, then you need to know about these features in advance. Below we will look at some of them.

English

And you need to start, of course, with knowledge of the English language. When studying with a child, spending a lot of time with him, you will simply need to find contact, and it will be impossible to do this without a language. In addition, parents are unlikely to want to hire a person who can only speak one language that is completely incomprehensible to them.

To better understand the situation, imagine yourself in the shoes of the child’s parents. Would you like to hire a nanny for your child, say, from Pakistan, who not only will not be able to understand you or the child normally, but also, God forbid, the child itself, due to spending a long time with such a nanny, will eventually begin to better understand someone else’s speech than native?

So you need to remember: knowledge of English at least at an intermediate level is the basis when you are trying to get a job with an American family. Exceptions may be in very rare cases. This is either if the parents save a lot and are ready to take any candidate, just to pay as little as possible, but it is unlikely that you yourself would like to work with such people. Or if one of the parents is ethnically Russian, Ukrainian, whom he himself moved with his parents to the United States, as a child, does not know his native language, but really wants to attach his child to his native roots. In theory, this situation is possible, but still unlikely.

Cultural Traditions and Traditions

Understand what is and is not customary to do and say in the American environment. I will give a banal, but quite probable example: in Russian-speaking countries, in ordinary life we ​​can use the word “negro” in relation to black people, not trying to offend anyone with this word, but simply because many were taught from the school bench that this is how to call black people – This is fine. In the United States, this word cannot have a neutral character, since it is firmly glued to the country’s slaveholding period.

Now imagine that you accidentally used this word in front of a child who, due to his very young age, may later start using this word on the street or at school, considering this to be the norm. And in the end, this will create problems for both him and his parents.

Of course, you will probably not know all the cultural and linguistic features of Americans before you start working with English-speaking families, but this is quite normal. It is important to have a basic understanding of US language and culture, and the rest will come with experience.

And to make it a little easier for you at the very beginning, I dare to recommend that you do a few things that will give you some minimal understanding of American culture:

1. Read American literature. The United States has given the world a huge amount of great works that everyone should read, and even more so a person who is going to work closely with the Americans. The compositions of the American classic John Steinbeck are ideal for this. If we draw parallels, then Steinbeck is the American Tolstoy or Sholokhov, who wrote mainly about the plight of the American working class. Reading Steinbeck is very easy and insanely interesting. Of all his works, I would like to single out the novel “Grapes of Wrath”, the story “About Mice and Men”, as well as “Russian Diary” – non-fiction, which Steinbeck wrote while on a trip to the post-war Soviet Union. This book will be of particular interest because in it the writer often compares the American and Soviet ways of life.

2. Watch original American movies and TV series. It is better to choose not action movies or science fiction, but ordinary comedies, sitcoms or dramas. So you will begin to understand American life a little better, and also begin to understand how Americans communicate with each other, what slang expressions they use. I always recommend watching Friends. First, because you definitely won’t get bored. Secondly, all the characters on the show are young people who discuss the same problems that we all face – looking for work, washing clothes, building relationships, going on vacation. Watching how they communicate with each other, you will understand how you can communicate with the Americans. However, perhaps today it is already a little outdated, so you can choose something more modern.

Job Requirements

When looking for a job as a nanny for English-speaking families, you may find that the requirements of Americans are somewhat different from those of Russian-speaking residents of the United States. Let’s take a look at some of these differences.

First difference

The experience of their potential nanny is very important for Americans. While Russian-speaking families do not always require the candidate to have experience, limiting themselves only to the fact that the woman is hardworking and pleasant in communication, Americans almost always require the nanny to already have at least two, and preferably three years of work experience in the profession.

The good news is that you can lie or somehow “embellish” your resume with this experience by saying that you worked as a nanny in your home country. American employers will not be able to check this. Your main task then will be not to lose face at the interview and charm your future employers.

Second difference

Americans are more likely than Russian-speaking families to want a nanny to have a pet. For them, this, firstly, is a living example of the fact that you already constantly care about someone. And secondly, Americans themselves often get dogs or cats at home, and it is important for them that you know how to find contact with an animal and sometimes help them walk with a pet or feed it.

Third difference

For American families, sometimes it’s not enough just to see and talk to you at the interview. Sometimes they want to see a background check that would confirm your responsibility and the absence of violations of the law in the past. Therefore, sometimes babysitting agencies ask for SSN to do this check. However, this does not always happen, so you should not worry too much if you are going to work without documents.

Nanny in the USA: advantages and disadvantages of working in an American family

Of course, any job has its advantages and disadvantages. The babysitting profession is no exception. Below, let’s take a look at the positive and negative aspects of working with American families.

Nanny for a child: advantages of the profession

The first and most important thing is a reliable salary

In fact, although there is a myth that Americans usually pay nannies more than Russian speakers, this is actually not true. The average salary for a nanny in America ranges between $15 and $25 an hour. It doesn’t matter what language your employers speak.

Everything depends on the wealth of a particular family, as well as their willingness to adequately pay for your work. But the plus is something else. Americans are less likely to deceive their employees. This is not due to the fact that they are morally better than Russian-speaking people. Not at all. It’s just that among the Russian-speaking families there are many who once upon a time, just like you, moved to the United States, were in your place and understand that you are new in the country, do not yet know many local laws, do not know how to properly defend your rights, do not know where to complain, how to hire a lawyer. And some dishonest Russian speakers may want to take advantage of your ignorance.

Americans, on the other hand, have not experienced such hardships of moving, do not have such experience, and it often does not even occur to them that you may not know how to protect your rights. That is why working with Americans can sometimes be more reliable than with people from Eastern Europe.

The second is cultural integration

Another very significant advantage of working as a nanny in an English-speaking American family is the daily contact with the culture and traditions of the people of America.

Working and communicating with Russian speakers, you are unlikely to learn the peculiarities of American slang, as well as how they really celebrate in the USA, for example, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas or Halloween. However, all this and much more will be available to you when working with the Americans.

Disadvantages of working as a Russian-speaking nanny in an English-speaking family

Of course, the disadvantages of working as a nanny in an American family for someone can be all the features that I have already written about above. Someone does not know English, someone is not ready to put up with the American way of life in everyday life. I will not list all this again, so as not to waste your time.

At this point, perhaps, it is worth noting just one important drawback, which in any case will accompany you in such work – this is the distance from your own culture.

The fact is that by constantly working for Americans, communicating mainly with them, living everyday with the affairs and problems of people from a different culture, you will gradually become more and more like them: adopt their habits, sometimes even use various English words in their native speech, stop being interested in news from their homeland, becoming more and more interested in the life of Americans.

Of course, this doesn’t have to happen to you. It is possible that you will be in constant contact with fellow immigrants in the US, but maybe not. And here you need to ask yourself the question: do you want to penetrate so deeply into American culture that you eventually forget yours? Perhaps you still would like to live in the USA more, but continue to communicate with people from your own country? Maybe you want to read Pushkin’s fairy tales or Shevchenko’s poems to your child before bedtime more than the stories of Mark Twain?

Try to ask yourself this question in advance, even before you look for babysitting jobs and get a job with the Americans. And this, frankly, applies not only to those who would like to work as a nanny in an American family, but also to many others who get a job in some American company, go to study at an American university or start a family with an American or an American.

How to write a resume for a nanny job in the US?

Let’s say that you weighed all the pros and cons of working as a nanny for the Americans, and came to the conclusion that at least you want to get such an experience. Then it’s time to start writing your resume. It must be remembered that this is the first and, perhaps, the most important step in finding such a job, which must be done correctly.

Here is a list of what you need to include in your resume:

1. General information. Please provide your full name, contact details (phone and email) and residential address.

2. Professional experience. Describe your experience as a nanny, starting with your most recent job. List the dates, family name, and ages of the children you have worked with. Describe your responsibilities and accomplishments. If you do not have such work experience, then it is better to lie and write that you have already worked as a nanny in your native country. The employer cannot verify this. Or, if you are too young to have had a similar experience, write that you cared for younger siblings. Anything will do. The main thing is to show that you already have a positive experience with children.

3. Education and courses. List your education, including high school, college, or university, and any courses or training related to child care or development, if you have taken any. In order to be a nanny even without work experience in the USA, you do not need any education, but it is necessary to show that you are capable of learning, that you are a versatile and interesting person.

4. Skills and qualities. List the skills and qualities that make you a good nanny candidate. These may include skills in caring for children of a certain age, the ability to play and interact with them, organizational skills and responsibility.

5. Recommendations. Attach references from previous employers or parents you have worked with. Recommendations can confirm your professionalism and reliability in work.

This is how a babysitter resume looks like. Source: myperfectresume.com Also on this site you can find even more examples and make your own resume according to a specific template.

In addition to all of the above, I would recommend that you attach a cover letter that details your work experience, motivation, and why you are a good fit for an American family job. Below is an example of such a letter in English.

Where can I find a job as a nanny?

You have sorted out your resume, and now you are faced with the question of where to find a job as a nanny in the USA and publish your CV. And with this, the Internet will help you, first of all, and the classic offline search second (note: in English it sounds like “searching” and is translated into Russian as “search”). Here are some of these ways to find a job as a nanny in the United States.

Bulletin boards and specialized web resources

There are job sites where you can find vacancies for nannies. Some of them include:

• Care – This website is suitable for anyone who is looking for any job related to caring for someone. Through it, you can get a job as a nanny, a nurse for the elderly, an animal walker and many others. The main thing is that the work should be connected with looking after someone.

• Sittercity – This resource is designed primarily for babysitters. The difference between such a person and a nanny lies in the fact that the babysitter does not constantly raise children most of the time of the day, but only looks after the child when the parents need to go somewhere or leave for several hours or days. Such work can be an excellent additional income, but also through this resource they are looking for nannies to take care of raising a child on an ongoing basis, so you can get a full-time job.

• Nanny Lane is another site designed for those who are looking for a job as a nanny in major American cities. Very convenient and clear portal. You can choose in advance how you want to work: full-time or look after children only on certain days or hours.

• BAZAR. club section “Nanny jobs in the USA” – on our resource you can mainly find jobs as a nanny in Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking families, but sometimes vacancies are posted by people from mixed marriages, in which one of the parents speaks only English. These families need a bilingual nanny to help parents raise a bilingual child.

US Families Babysitting Agencies

These agencies typically provide services to parents who are looking for qualified and reliable nannies for their children. You, as a nanny, can use the services of one of these agencies to put you in touch with future employers. Here’s how nanny agencies work:

1. Parents apply to the agency with a request to find a nanny. They may specify criteria such as the child’s age, work schedule, experience, language skills, and other requirements.

2. The agency selects and matches parents with appropriate candidates. They can use their database, contact existing nannies, or search new platforms.

3. The agency conducts interviews with potential nannies, checks their work experience, education, past jobs and certificates. Some agencies, as I wrote earlier, may do criminal background checks or other security checks.

4. After evaluating candidates, the agency provides information about potential nannies to parents. They can provide resumes, background checks, letters of recommendation, and other information to help parents make their final hiring decision.

5. If the parents are interested in one of the candidates, the agency helps to establish contact between the parents and the nanny. Parents can conduct a personal interview or meeting with the candidate to evaluate them in person.

6. After the nanny gets a job, some agencies provide support and support to both the parents and the nanny. They can help with pay, contract, work schedules, and possible issues.

These agencies are usually paid by parents who are looking for a nanny for their child, so you don’t have to worry about spending anything and end up with nothing. () You should not contact those agencies that take money from the nannies themselves, and even in advance, before they find a job for them. It is highly likely that you have stumbled upon a scammer. Or you can wait a very long time for a suitable vacancy for you, since the agency has already received money from you and is no longer interested in prompt assistance to you.

Most reliable agencies either take a one-time fee from the parents or take a percentage of the nanny’s salary over a set period of time. I advise you to work only with such agencies. Below I will give examples of some of them.

• TINY Treasures NYC is an agency based in New York but operates in all major US cities.

• Westside Nannies is an agency from Los Angeles that, in addition to finding nannies, also helps with adoption and even with the search for surrogate mothers for future parents.

• Chicago Nannies – Nanny agency in Chicago. Help with work on a permanent and temporary basis. They are also looking for jobs for housekeepers, home assistants and carers for the elderly.

Classic media

Some families seek out a nanny directly through advertisements in local newspapers or on bulletin boards in shops and schools. Pay attention to such announcements and contact the parents if you are interested in the offer.

Recommendations from relatives and friends

Ask your friends, colleagues and parents with whom you have worked in the past about possible babysitting vacancies. Recommendations can be very helpful when looking for a similar job in the US.

Real stories about babysitting in the US in American families

Also, before you go to work as a babysitter in an American family, I recommend that you look and read the maximum number of stories of people who already have experience in such work. This will help you understand that all families are different and the situations that you can find yourself in can also be just an infinite number (both positive and negative). Fortunately, today social networks and video platforms allow each person to freely share their unique experience with other people.

For example, the girl Polina, who moved to New York from Belarus several years ago, spoke in a Youtube video about her personal pros and cons of working as a nanny in an American family:

I highly recommend that you watch as many of these videos as possible to better understand the real experience of people who are already working or have worked as a nanny.

Mistakes in work that nannies often make

A Russian-speaking nanny working in American families can make some common mistakes. I have already mentioned some of them in one way or another, but it will not be superfluous to do it again:

1. Misunderstanding of cultural differences.

Lack of understanding of American culture and certain customs can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts with parents. It is important to study and adapt to the mentality as well as the accepted way of life in the American family. This is especially important if you combine work with living in a family home.

2. Insufficient knowledge of English.

Limited English proficiency can make it difficult to communicate with parents and children. Strive to constantly improve your language skills.

3. Failure to set boundaries.

Some nannies may have trouble setting boundaries and following the rules set by their parents. It is important to follow their instructions and be flexible in working with the family.

4. Insufficient communication.

Incorrect or insufficient communication with parents can lead to dissatisfaction and misunderstanding. Try to be open, considerate and honest in your communication.

5. Expectations not met.

It is important to discuss and clarify employers’ expectations of you as a nanny in order to avoid disagreement and frustration in the process. Sometimes parents think that they hire not only a nanny, but also a housekeeper all rolled into one. You, in turn, may not want to clean the house every day and work in the kitchen, cooking for the whole family. You planned only to provide babysitting services, but no more. This point must be discussed in advance, clearly outlining your responsibilities.

Average salary is $15-25 per hour. It all depends on the state, city, your experience and the wealth of the particular family you work for.

Babysitting can be a very interesting and lucrative job for many immigrant women in the US. Working in an American family, you can get a stable and good income for living in America. You will also be able to plunge into the life of a real American family, find out how they live, establish good trusting relationships with family members and their friends.
