profession nanny
this profession can rightly be considered one of the oldest, and the work of a nanny is similar to the work of a teacher. the nanny teaches, monitors the daily routine and nutrition, is responsible for the moral, mental and physical health of his ward.
consider the main types of nannies:
• daytime, working with children from morning to evening. she takes the child to school, groups, takes him out of class, deals with him, can cook food. if such a nanny is invited to a preschooler, then her duties include walking for hours, organizing proper nutrition, developing games and activities;
• night, which will be with the child from 8 pm until the morning. such a babysitter can be invited for the whole night or for a few hours;
• a nanny living in an employer's apartment provides round-the-clock child care;
• a housekeeper who combines childcare with housekeeping.
we can single out a seasonal nanny who works with the child during the holidays, and an evening babe who will pick up the child from school, staying with him until her parents return from work. a separate category is to include nurse guards, who in addition to education are responsible for ensuring the security of their ward.
Natural disasters such as flood, fire, tornado, earthquake, tsunamis are becoming more and more frequent on our planet. In short description a natural disaster is a result of a natural hazard, which has a negative effect on human beings. These geologic processes can lead to serious consequences such as loss of life, property damage, economic problems. Certain areas are more exposed to natural disasters. For example, most of New Zealand’s coastline is exposed to tsunami hazard, while the Far East region is exposed to floods. Being aware of possible dangers, people should be prepared to protect themselves, their families and communities. Two important preparation steps are the developing of emergency plan and assembling a supply kit. However, all the known disasters have unique nature and should be approached separately. Some of the common natural hazards are as follows: earthquake, flood, drought, heat wave, hurricane, volcanic eruption, hailstorm, tornado, tsunami, landslide, wildfire, blizzard. I’d like to tell you a bit more about floods, hurricane and earthquakes. A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land. In severe cases it can result in human and animal deaths. Very often the crops are destroyed, which brings famine. A hurricane is a severe tropical cyclone or storm that often occurs in certain parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This destructive hazard can lead to changes in weather and economy. It can also result in heavy rains, thunderstorm, flood or even tornado. An earthquake is the result of a sudden collision among the tectonic plates of the Earth. Such collision leads to massive and occasionally deathly vibrations. However, learning about these specific threats and the measures, which should be taken, can save many lives.
