This August 2010 Globalappointments celebrates 5 years in the child care recruitment business. We set out in 2005 to provide a free service enabling child carers to advertise for work across the Globe using the Internet. We have stuck to our original aims and today increasing numbers are signing up to use our unique services.
Families may also advertise for free.
One of the important differences between Globalappointments and other companies is that there are no time limits on Globalappointments child care advertisements. With Globalappointments help, advertisers will be kept up-to-date with changes in the market place and will be ahead of the field when it comes to finding another job. Because of the precarious nature of child care work, particularly during the current economic climate, this can make the difference between having a job and being out of work for months on end.
We look forward to ever larger numbers of child carers signing up with us in the times ahead, and we will for our part continue to provide the very best service to our users worldwide.
Best wishes,
Globalappointments team

Misleading crime figures disgrace
The just released crime figures are totally misleading.
With little or no account taken of richer pickings from:
1) Human trafficking ($42.5 billion per annum)
2) Drug trafficking ($400 billion per annum)
3) Little action in the UK on Internet (cyber) crime ($119 billion per annum)
the figures just released are meaningless. The Government and Police need to wake up to the fact that criminals have moved on to target easier prey. It is a little known fact that there are more victims of human trafficking today than the numbers sold into slavery in the entire 400 year period of the 'Slave Trade'.
Human and drug trafficking is run by criminal gangs making vast sums of money. Human trafficking is rapidly overtaking drug trafficking in terms of the wealth it generates for the gangs, and Governments in the West are doing little to stop them. It can be argued that the previous Labour Goverment through its approval of lap dancing clubs actually encouraged human trafficking. Most of those trafficked are women and a high proportion are children sold into the sex trade. (1.2 million children per annum)
The few Internet criminals that are caught usually get light sentences, and of course now that Ken Clarke is running the show this situation will get worse.

Pregnacy matters
Exploding Birthing Myths - an alternative viewpoint?
1) Do husbands/partners really like to witness the birth of their offspring?
A very definite no, no, to this. Most husbands will say yes, when they
actually mean no, and can you blame them? Poor souls they prefer not to
think about it, and to fret in private, or better still seek commiseration
with their mates over a glass of beer.
2) Do mothers-to-be really like to have their husbands present at the birth?
Most women can think of nothing worse! They like to keep their privates,
private and can you blame them? A far better idea is to have another woman
present, such as a doula.
3) Do husbands yearn to hold their newborns seconds after the birth?
Definitely not! Men without exception don't like getting their hands
messy. Get it all cleaned and parcelled up nicely then present it to your
partner. This has the added advantage that you can play a guessing game
viz. so is it a boy or a girl then? Hint. wrap it tightly in neutral
colours first and they won't have a clue.
4) Being present at the birth fosters paternal bonding based on a shared
experience?
Firstly it is in no way a shared experience! Do men suffer the pain and
discomfort to even the slightest degree? Of course not! Secondly bonding
with whom? We can rule out baby because he/she thankfully won't remember a
thing about the birth, and mum would rather just forget the whole event
and get back to normal. Dads are just relieved when its all over and they
will rarely talk about it again, although they might suffer nightmares for
a while afterwards (only if they witnessed the event).
5) Mothers-to-be need to attend all the pre-natal courses available if
they are to stand any chance of surviving child birth?
Clearly this is complete tosh. Women have been giving birth for thousands
of years, and it is only recently that they have had the opportunity to
receive intensive pre-birth training. Giving birth is a completely natural
phenomena so why complicate and confuse the poor souls; just leave it to
nature. Intervention in this natural process is rarely necessary, unless
of course there are complications. No amount of head knowledge acquired by
the mother can be brought usefully to bear in such situations, in fact it
is more likely to increase the mothers anxiety. Give mothers the basics
and leave it at that.
In conclusion, take courage and ignore these fads, instead do what you
feel most comfortable with. For many couples this will mean turning back
the clock.
Globalappointments wish to make it clear that they do not necessarily agree with the views expressed above and merely wish to question modern wisdom in the light of history, and perhaps open up a wider debate on the subject. No one would wish to deny mothers-to-be their special status in society and rights to the best advice and help that current knowledge can offer.
