I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.

I want to be a live-in nanny and these get an average salary of £300 a week. They don't pay rent, food, or electricty etc bills and generally get a car provided. I have a vague idea that my costs over the year would be: toiletries, optician costs, dental costs (but no medical costs as we have the NHS in England), a few clothes, insurance. Do you think I have covered everything? It's just that I worked out that if I did get the average of £300 a week and had only those costs, I could end up saving about £12-13,000 a year (and I have been generous in estimating how big my costs would be). Does anyone know where the catch is? It seems far too easy.
I have a friend who does that. She goes to night school to become a message therapist and is really enjoying it. She simply loves the child that she is taking care of. The problem as she sees it is that the parents have no time for their child. They spoil the child and give it anything he wants just to keep him quiet when he’s with them. They never spend time with their child and really don’t want to. That’s what they have her for. The little boy she is watching is basically sweet and adorable. She is a sweet person and is giving the child the love it needs. But, someday she’s going to leave him and that will be heart wrenching. The catch, as I see it, is that you could be walking into a completely volatile situation. The child or children could be completely uncontrollable and the parents don’t care, they just want you to keep the children out of their hair. The father could approach you in ways that you don’t want. There may be food in the house, but there may be rules as to what you can or cannot have. You may not be able to have the car for personal reasons whenever you want. You will be living with them and they may call upon you even during your off time. They may think, you live here, you aren’t doing anything right now, and their time is much more valuable. I guess what I’m trying to say is, before I took a position like this I would investigate every aspect I could think of. Something I’ve learned in life is that nothing is as good as it seems. If they had other nannies find out why they are no longer with them. Ask the family for references (other nannies). Call and speak to these nannies. Make sure you understand what the situation will be like before you go there.
Good Luck!
