Answer
You should have a list of things ready that you are going to need to know. This is an example of one:

# Parentsâ names
# Childrenâs names, ages, birth dates, height, weight, hair and eye color (in case children get lost)
# Address of the house
# Nearest intersections/directions to the house (in case it is necessary to give directions to emergency services)
# Phone numbers at the house
# Name and phone of family doctor or pediatrician
# Emergency services number (usually 911)
# Nationwide poison control hotline: 1-800-222-1222
# Location of exits
# Location of first aid supplies/first aid chart
# Location of fire extinguisher, flashlights
# Cell phone/pager number for parents
# Name and phone for neighbors and for close relatives -include a few, in case some contacts are not at home
# Food and drug allergies
# Special medical information, such as asthma, etc.
# Where you will beâname, address and phone number
# What you are wearing or other identifiers
# Time you will be home
# Childrenâs bedtimes and bedtime routine
# Any food or drink to be given to the children
# Medicationsâname, time last given, time next dose due, amount to give (dose)
# Never to shake a baby or young child
# How to calm the baby if crying or colicky
# How to handle misbehavior
# Any other special instructions

You also need a checklist as well:

# Before you accept a job, make sure you find out what is expected of you and that you are comfortable with it.
# Learn first aid and CPR. Find a CPR course near you. Take the American Red Cross babysitter class if you are aged 12-15.
# Allow time before the parents leave to get all the instructions and information you need.
# Make sure you have all the emergency information you needâyou could even bring your own checklist (see above).
# Meet the family pets.
# Put babies to sleep on their backs-not on their sides or tummies-to lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
# Never shake a baby or young child. Even children as old as five can be seriously injured by shaking. Find out from the parents what to do if the baby wonât stop crying.
# Donât give the kids medicine, food or drink unless instructed to by the parents.
# If you are instructed to feed the children, make sure you are familiar with food safety guidelines. You need to know how to prevent choking and food poisoning and how to feed baby safely.
# Keep doors and windows lockedâlock the door after the parents leave.
# Turn on outside lights in the evening.
# If the kids are asleep, check on them every 15 minutes.
# Donât leave the house with the kids unless you have permission.
# Keep doors locked while you are outside.
# If something looks strange or out of place when you return, do not go inside. Instead, go to a neighborâs house and call the police.
# Donât let anyone in the house unless you personally know him or her.
# If someone comes to the door and you are suspicious, or if you suspect a prowler, call the police at 911.
# Never identify yourself as the sitter on the phone, instead, say the parent canât come to the phone and take a message to have them call back.
# Donât tie up the phone, in case the parents are trying to call.
# Donât have friends over while you are working.
# Be alert for potentially dangerous items or situations in the home.
# Never leave a kid alone in the bathtub, not even for just a second.
# Be prepared for a fire: know all the ways out of the house. Get the kids out immediately, staying close to the floor, and do not open a door if it is hot. Once you are out of the burning house, call for help from a neighbor's, and do not go back in for any reason. Want to learn more about sitter fire safety?
# Make sure you have safe escort home.
# If your employer seems drunk or is acting strange, donât let them take you home. Instead, call home and have someone come and get youâtrust your instincts on this.
# The American Red Cross website has babysitter safety tips and printable materials to use on the job.

Hope this helps and good luck! :)

I'm a hair-dye virgin. What do I need to know?

I'm going to dye my hair a burgundy red. Which brand lasts the longest? Something I can purchase at Sally's, Ulta, or the local drugstore for under 30 dollars. I know I need to avoid washing, and probably use a dry shampoo, but use cold water when I do need to wash it.
So basically, what can I do to make the color stay longer, and what brand lasts longest anyways?
Thanks a bunch.



Answer
Go for the Ion brand at sally's. it doesn't come in a box so you'll have to get the individual things yourself, but it's really not that difficult.

Go in, get a box of the cream dye. Look at the hair swatches they'll have to decide which color of burgundy you want, they have quite a few options. Get the one you like best. If your hair is lighter than the shade you want, pick up a bottle of level 10 developer - they're purple, and usually right below the dye boxes. If your hair is darker, then you'll need to determine what level it is, which you can do by looking at the swatches there, finding which one matches your hair color the closest. The number on it it is your hair color level. Open up the box, and there should be a chart inside that tells you what strength developer you'll need to go from your current level to your desired level. Get a bottle to mix it all together (or a bowl and brush if you prefer), and some gloves. Pick up a protein pack for 99 cents at the counter, especially if you're going lighter, to repair the damage.

Go home. Mix the dyes together in a 1:1 ratio. Leave it in for the time specified on the instructions.

After you wash it out, put on the protein pack and leave it for 10 minutes.

Afterwards, to make it last longer...
rinse your hair in cold water
only wash it every other day/as few times as you can get away with
use a color safe shampoo
Get a nice conditioner - healthy hair has smoother cuticles that hold in the dye longer and will make your hair look shinier which helps it look not as faded, too.


This brand of dye is cheap, lasts a long time as it's professional quality, and if you ever want to bleach it out it doesn't contain metallic salts that will ruin your hair like many of the cheaper box dyes. I used a box dye once and hated it - lasted a week only and was a horrible dull color. This stuff is the best, I only use it anymore.

Answer mine please?
