I have chosen new zealand because i've always wanted to go there.. My dream when i was a child was going to Australia or new zealand.
When my friends knew about it, they told me that new zealand is real boring and that Australia is much better. They said that they been there and that it was awful. I don't believe them but who am i to know? ive never been there. I saw videos and pictures about it and i noticed big cities and stuff.
But i live in the Netherlands so i don't think it would be worse huh?
Answer
i guess it really depends what you re into.
New Zealand is very, very beautiful, and is the dreamland for a particular type of person. there are alot of different landscapes and climates rolled into one small place. you can see mountains, volcanoes, lakes, glaciers, fjords, beaches, forest etc etc. so basically, if you like skiing, hiking, surfing, biking or are just generally an outdoorsy kind of person you ll love NZ.
the people are pretty much the same on both sides of the Tasman but Australia is bigger, warmer and has larger cities. if you are really more interested in living in a vibrant city id say go to melbourne or sydney, that said, Wellington and Auckland are ok too,

Babysitting questions?
Lyla bell
I was jw if u need a certificate to babysit and btw I am 13 so I was jw if I am old enough to babysit and how much I should charge and what ages should I babysit and any other advice u have for me also how do I tell people with young kids what I am doing
Answer
Where I live, you have to be 14 years old to be responsible for another child.
There is no such thing as a babysitting certificate where I live, but I believe that in the US you do need one. You should also get a first aid certificate, it'll give you a better chance of being hired.
You also need to be intelligent and have a lot of common sense. Would you know what to do if the child was choking? What would you do first? Who would you call?
What would you do if you couldn't find the babies wipes or diapers? Etc. A lot of the skills you need are not taught, you have them already. You need to be good with children. Friendly, happy and always encouraging the child to be the best they can be and have fun.
I wouldn't hire a babysitter who sat on the couch texting while my child watched tv or played by herself. I would however hire someone who:
- my child likes
- a person who involves my child in every activity they do.
- a person who has general knowledge about child welfare. What clothes should they be wearing for the appropriate temperature, have they brushed their teeth, etc
- can discipline my child in an appropriate way, in the way I say. (If I asked for a time out to be given, I wouldn't hire a person who yelled at my chid and sent them to her without dinner etc)
- is genuinely interested in my child. Asks to take child to park, asks if it'd be ok to take on a bike ride etc
- is friendly and respectful to me, and my rules.
- keeps my house clean and tidy, and ensures my child picks up after herself etc.
Really, these qualities can only come from a person who is either a mother, an older sibling or has had previous baby sitting experience.
It'd be best to start off babysitting for a friend or family member first just to gain some experience until you know what you're doing.
I'd say to start off baby sitting an older child aged 3+, before babysitting a young baby or toddler, just because they require a lot more work and intuition.
Don't be offended or surprised if your employer uses a nanny video cam, it is just for their child's safety.
My advice: gain some experience. Ask around at day cares to see if you can do some work experience there, read lots of books on babysitting and children safety, get a first aid certificate and then a lot more parents would consider you.
I currently have a friend of a friend's 16 year old daughter looking after my 4 children 10 hours a week. My children are 8 months, 2 year old twins and 4 years old.
She is fantastic as she has 3 baby brothers of her own, her mother is a daycare manager, she takes an in-home childcare course and is studying to be a pediatrician. She is also qualified with a CPR certificate and basic first aid certificate.
I pay her $15 New Zealand dollars an hour.
Age doesn't matter too much in my opinion, but it would take a bit to convince me to hire a 13 year old (you'd have to be 14 in my country anyway)
Good luck, and get some experience!
