1 . I was 15. She looked like she was over 70. But on that day, I think she understood me more than anyone else.

Walking into the church that Sunday was hard. I had never let anyone see me cry. But I knew I would cry that day. My grandfather was suddenly ill. The doctors said he might not live much longer. Everyone in my family was crying. Grandpa was the sweetest man in the world. Why was he leaving us?

There weren’t many people at church that day. One of them was an old lady sitting at the end of my row. She was smiling. I closed my eyes and prayed(祷告) for my grandfather to get better. Soon, my eyes were full of tears. I opened my eyes and saw a hand in front of me. It was giving me a tissue(纸巾).

The old lady was sitting next to me, smiling. She didn’t say a word. She just gave me a tissue and a smile. I tried to thank her, but only tears came out. Then she took my hand. I looked into her eyes. They were clear and blue, and they make me feel peaceful. Her smile said to me: I am with you. Everything will be OK. I closed my eyes again. When I opened them, she wasn’t there. I left the church but still couldn’t find her. I never saw her again.

My grandfather died the next week. We all cried a lot. But when I thought of that old lady’s warm smile, I felt a little better.

How did she know how I was feeling? I wish I could see her again, to say thank you.

10 . A full-time nanny is employed by the parents to provide high quality childcare for their children and to undertake all tasks related to the providing of that care. Nannies provide childcare in the family's private home.

Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the children's laundry, keep the children's areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the family's needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities and assisting the child with homework.

Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.

Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies. For parents who hire a live-in nanny, at minimum they should provide a separate bedroom and bathroom and all meals and snacks. One of the benefits of nanny care is that the parents set the nannies weekly schedule. Nannies are typically required to have some scheduling flexibility.

Nanny employers must pay what is commonly referred to as the nanny tax, which includes social security taxes and medicare taxes, total about 7.65% of the nanny's wages. The other federal tax is referred to as FUTA. It is the Federal Unemployment Tax. State unemployment taxes may also apply and vary from state to state.
