I need a children care taker job in singapore schools

Ans: Certainly! Here's a more professional approach to securing a child-care-related position within educational settings in Singapore. While schools in Singapore don't directly employ "childcare takers," excellent opportunities exist within affiliated institutions. Here are some promising paths, like early childhood teacher/assistant teacher in preschools or childcare centers where you can take care of them, educating young children, planning and implementing activities, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. You can work as an assistant teacher, where you assist qualified teachers with the daily routines, activities, and basic care of young children. Utilize platforms like Indeed, JobStreet, or the websites of reputable preschools and childcare centers in Singapore to find relevant job postings. Connect with professionals working in ECE or related fields. Attending industry events or joining online groups can help you learn about potential openings and build a professional network. By focusing on these professional avenues, acquiring relevant qualifications, and utilizing strategic job search tactics, you'll be well-positioned to secure a rewarding role working with children within Singapore's educational system.

Hello sir , I am 32 year old I am a salaried person around 60k per month and want to start SIP for my children education I have two children one is 6 year old and another one is 3 year old. Please suggest me the best
Ans: It's fantastic that you're thinking ahead and planning for your children's education at such a young age. Starting SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) is a smart way to build a corpus for their future educational expenses.
Considering your financial situation and your children's ages, here's a suggested approach:
1. Set Clear Goals: Determine the amount you'll need for each child's education, factoring in inflation and the type of education you aspire for them. This will help you set realistic investment targets.
2. Choose Suitable SIPs: Opt for diversified equity mutual funds that have a track record of consistent performance and align with your investment goals and risk tolerance. Look for funds with a long-term horizon and a focus on capital appreciation.
3. Allocate Funds Wisely: Divide your SIP investments among different funds to spread risk and maximize growth potential. Consider a mix of large-cap, mid-cap, and multi-cap funds to achieve diversification and optimize returns.
4. Start Early and Stay Consistent: Time is your biggest ally when it comes to investing. Start your SIPs as soon as possible to benefit from the power of compounding. Even small, regular investments can grow substantially over time with discipline and consistency.
5. Review and Adjust Regularly: Periodically review your SIP investments to ensure they're on track to meet your goals. Make adjustments as needed based on changes in your financial situation, market conditions, and investment objectives.
6. Stay Disciplined: Avoid the temptation to withdraw or stop your SIPs during market fluctuations. Stay focused on your long-term goals and continue investing consistently, regardless of short-term market movements.
7. Consider Tax Implications: Keep tax efficiency in mind while selecting SIPs. Opt for funds with favorable tax treatment like Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) for potential tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Remember, education is one of the most valuable investments you can make for your children's future. By starting SIPs early and staying disciplined, you can build a solid financial foundation to provide them with the best opportunities for education.

Plastic-Aesthetic Surgeon, Emergency Care Consultant - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 05, 2024Hindi

Health
Dear Doctor, I work as a corporate lawyer in Delhi. I’ve been considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure for my skin for some time now, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of surgeons available. I want to ensure that I choose someone who is experienced, as this is a big decision for me. Could you advise what I should look for when selecting a plastic-aesthetic surgeon? Are there any specific red flags I should be aware of when researching potential surgeons? I want to make sure I’m in safe hands. I’m 40 years old.
Ans: This is a beautiful question.
Before I dwell on your question, there are a few points which are very important for the patient to know.
1. You should roughly know what result you wish to have.
2. Never think of a perfect result. There is no such result.
3. You must think in terms of improvement and if you are sble to achieve more than 90% approx, it can be considred good.
4. Dont compare your results with any celebrity's result. There body structure is different, they have probably taken better care till now and importantly, the result you see on a public platform is after make up and not the real result. Some times it may be a photoshopped image
5. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history and addictions.
6. Don't go with pre concieved notion (especially if you have researched a lot online). Discuss with the doctor, listen to his/ her views and raise your concerns if any
7. Try and see some results of the doctors work (Remember, too good a result may not be the true result). Realistic result is what you should want to look at and believe.
8. Don't fall for less budget! its obvious a meticulous job needs more surgical time. This means that the doctor may charge more. Seniority also adds to the cost.
What I mean, there is a price to be paid for a good job.(whether medical or anywhere).
Now coming to the Plastic surgeon's choice.
1. Research well, but dont fall prey to only advertisement. Small and big centers, both advertise,
2. Dont fall for glamour. You are going to a surgeon. A plastic surgeon's clinic is clean but not lavish generally. At least I believe that the person coming is not a client, but a patient. A patient - Doctor relationship is more pure than a client-Professional relationship.
3. Talk and discuss with the doctor. A too busy doctor may not always be the best doctor for you. Plastic surgery is about thinking, planning and execution. A doctor who thinks aloud about your problem ( especially if ut us face, nose, breast etc) is applying his/ her knowledge for your betterment, because every oerson is different.
4. Check the resilts? Look for genuinity.
5. Be wary of arrogant, loud and boisterous people. There is a difference between confidence and fambloyence.
6. Doctors who are attached to reputed hospitals are generally good in their work.
7. A doctor who can talk about probable complications is also a doctor worth trusting.
I hope I am able to do justice to this difficult question. All the best. You can write again if you need any other clarifications.

Ans: Your query reflects a unique position: you are financially secure, have no immediate monetary pressure, and have a genuine desire to help others. Here’s a structured approach to navigate your thoughts, align your purpose, and utilize your resources effectively:

1. Self-Reflection and Emotional Well-Being
Acknowledge Your Position: Feeling "confused but lucky" is natural for someone in your shoes. You’ve done exceptionally well, but now it’s about finding meaning beyond wealth.
Define Your Purpose: Reflect on why you want to help others with investments. Is it to share your knowledge, build relationships, or leave a legacy? A clear purpose will guide your efforts.
Engage with Mentors or Communities: Join communities of like-minded individuals passionate about personal finance. This will give you clarity and help channel your energy positively.

Helping People with Investments
Become a Trainer for Investors
Share your wealth of knowledge and personal experience by training others. Conduct workshops, webinars, or small group sessions to educate individuals about investments, mutual funds, and wealth-building strategies.
Partner with local organizations, schools, or community centers to organize financial literacy programs, empowering others with practical knowledge.
Build Credibility as a Social Media Influencer
Start a blog, YouTube channel, or social media page to share practical investment guidance. Leverage your personal success stories, such as how your investments enabled you to achieve significant milestones like buying a house or building wealth.
Use engaging and relatable content, including videos, infographics, and step-by-step guides on financial discipline, mutual funds, and long-term investing.
Share lessons learned from your journey, highlighting the importance of patience and strategic planning in investment success.
Engage with the Community
Offer free introductory sessions on investment basics to build trust and reach a wider audience.
Position yourself as an advocate for financial literacy, helping people understand the importance of long-term financial planning.
By focusing on training and becoming a trusted voice in financial education, you can inspire and guide others to achieve their financial goals without the need to sell or distribute financial products.

3. Planning for Your Children
Liquidating Land Thoughtfully:
If you believe the land may become a burden, consider liquidating part of it gradually. Invest proceeds in diversified, low-maintenance assets (like index funds, balanced funds, or income-generating instruments) for your children’s future.
Education and Independence:
With their education well-funded, encourage them to explore careers and passions aligned with their interests rather than burdening them with managing family assets.
4. Personal Development
Stay Physically and Mentally Active:
Your fitness focus is commendable. Complement it with mindfulness practices like yoga or meditation to address occasional feelings of depression.
Pursue Interests:
Engage in hobbies, volunteering, or activities outside finance. This will provide balance and joy.
5. Long-Term Vision for Wealth
Simplify Your Estate:
Work with an estate planner to create a will or trust that outlines how your wealth should be distributed. If you wish to donate or help others, identify organizations or causes now.
Educate Your Children:
Teach them about financial independence and stewardship of wealth to ensure your legacy doesn’t become a source of stress.
6. Combatting Depression:
Stay Connected: Spend quality time with your family and engage socially. Helping others genuinely can alleviate feelings of emptiness.
Seek Professional Support: If occasional depression persists, consult a counselor or therapist to navigate your emotions effectively.
Your desire to help others while living a secure and fulfilling life is inspiring. You’re in an enviable position to create a meaningful legacy for yourself and others.

Next Steps:

Start researching about training topics.
Begin sharing your investment journey informally through social media or blogs.
Seek professional help to plan the estate and ensure your children’s financial and emotional well-being.
You have the resources, experience, and goodwill to make a difference. Channel these into meaningful action.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 05, 2024
Relationship
My Girlfriend says that I am very "Clingy". This is my First Relationship & I Love her with all my Heart. I shower a lot of Affection on her, all the time. But, I am also somewhat Insecure, perhaps, due to Childhood Trauma from Emotionally Unavailable & Abusive Parents. Sometimes, even I feel that I am being Overly Attached & Emotionally Dependent upon her. Initially, she used to like the way, I Loved her, intensely, but of late, she seems to be getting Suffocated & gradually distancing herself from me. Please guide me, how to work on & improve myself ? At any cost, I don't want to lose her & would like to maintain a Healthy Relationship with her. Please guide me on how to proceed further.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, it is great that you took her feedback so positively and are trying to make constructive changes. It is not easy to admit flaws and work on them. Now, I would suggest starting off by putting your attention a little more on yourself than your partner. Focus on being independent; just because two people are dating does not mean they have to be constantly co-dependent. Pursue new hobbies, connect with friends, explore new things alone and some time together, and in general, give more time to personal growth.

Everyone has different love languages and life events can shape the way we give and receive love. For you, being too attentive and attached can be a byproduct of the childhood trauma you mentioned. Similarly, your partner's way of receiving love can be different. The best way to understand each other's love language is to communicate clearly. Listen to her without getting defensive. I would hope she can do the same for you. I am sure a few open conversations can bring you both to that sweet spot where you both are comfortable with each other's style of showing love.

I would also suggest therapy to address the insecurity and unresolved issues from your past. It can do wonders for your emotional health. Also, remember that a healthy relationship needs some room to grow. Allow yours the space.

Best Wishes.
