Pick up some over-the-counter eye drops intended to be used to treat allergies. These can cause your eyes to become dilated. Be sure to read the instructions, and never use more drops than the label recommends. Stimulants that work on the sympathetic nervous system can trigger your iris muscles to dilate your pupils. These include caffeine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylephrine. The last three are found in most over-the-counter decongestants. This is an over-the-counter drug you can find at pharmacies or anywhere that sells health supplements. While 5-HTP is generally safe, too high a dosage can cause dangerous effects from "serotonin syndrome." Stick within the recommended dosage, and avoid 5-HTP entirely if you are on LSD, cocaine, antidepressants, large B-vitamin doses, or other substances that increase serotonin levels. Some prescription eye drops can dilate pupils, but have serious side effects that should be weighed by a doctor. If you are going through methadone treatment or have a medical condition that constricts your pupils, ask your doctor for advice on how to counteract this. Some recreational drugs cause dilated pupils as well. These are illegal in most areas, and can come with additional health risks if combined with other substances that cause dilated or constricted pupils.

summary: Use allergy eye drops. Drink an espresso or take decongestants. Consider 5-HTP supplements. Avoid other substances unless recommended by a doctor.

Whether you're a recent graduate or you've been working as a nanny for many years, you need to communicate to the parents why you are qualified for the position. Make sure to communicate how your experience is relevant to this specific job. Even if you've never worked as a nanny before, you can probably think of some relevant experience you've had with children. Babysitting, working as a tutor, and volunteering at a summer camp all count as relevant experience. If you have a degree in early childhood development or a related subject, talk about the kinds of classes you took and what you learned. Some parents may have no idea what your degree entails. Be sure to highlight any special skills that you have that could benefit the children. Knowledge of childhood development is a huge asset, but there are also many other skills that parents may be looking for. Be sure to mention the following skills, as well as any other unique talents that set you apart. Second language Culinary abilities Musical or artistic talents Teaching or tutoring experience Exceptional driving record The parents want to know that you will be energetic and engaged when you're with their children, so you need to seem genuinely excited about the opportunity. Try showing enthusiasm by talking about some of your favorite activities to do or your favorite meals to prepare. Asking questions about the children will not only make you seem more interested in the job, but it will also give you clues about what qualities the parents might be looking for in a nanny. Find out how many children the family has and how old they are. Ask about the children's interests and activities. Find out if the children have special medical needs or behavioral challenges. Learn how the parents discipline their children and what guidelines they expect you to follow. Your answers should show that you are experienced, professional, and friendly, but they should also be true. Don't lie during an interview, even if you think it will help you. Keep in mind that you are interviewing the parents as much as they are interviewing you. If you don't agree with the parents' disciplinary techniques, the job may not be right for you, and that's okay! Some nannies are responsible solely for taking care of the children, while others might be required to do some household chores as well. Clarify the scope of the work by asking if you will be responsible for things like laundry, cooking, running errands, tutoring, and pet care. Unless these chores are a real deal breaker for you, always express enthusiasm and a willingness to do whatever is asked of you. You may also want to ask about the children's schedule and the hours you will be expected to work, especially if you have other commitments. Ask questions about the household routine and the parenting philosophy. It is important to know, for example, if the parents do not want their children watching television during the day or if the children are accustomed to lots of organized activities. It's usually best not to ask any questions about compensation during the first interview. These kinds of discussions are often saved for a second interview or for after you are offered the job. If the interviewer brings the topic up first, then it's fine to talk about it. It's a good idea to do some research on the going rate for nannies in your area before the interview, just in case you are asked about your salary requirements. Pay for this kind of work varies greatly by geographic area. If you think of any qualifications that you forgot to mention during the interview, feel free to let them know. There's no way to predict all of the questions that parents will ask you during a nanny interview, but preparing answers to some of the more common ones is a great way to prepare. You want to sound conversational, so don't memorize every word you plan on saying, but have a good idea of what you will say if you are asked the following questions: Why do you want to be a nanny? What was your last job and why did you leave? What do you enjoy about working with children? How would you handle a medical emergency? How do you believe in disciplining children? What are your views on childhood nutrition? What was your daily routine like at your last nanny job? How do you spend your free time?

summary: Highlight your experience with children. Talk about specialty skills. Show enthusiasm about the job. Ask questions about the children. Be honest. Ask questions about the expectations. Don't be the first to bring up compensation. Be prepared to answer commonly asked questions.

Insert a pitchfork into the soil you are planning to collect your worms from. Again, remember that worms thrive in dirt that is moist, and nutrient-rich, with plants and crops nearby and with mulch covering the soil. Make sure the majority of the fork tenors are in the ground. Rock the pitchfork back and forth in a constant rhythm, almost wiggling the pitchfork in place. Worms will start to surface from the dirt. This process may take a few minutes, so patience is key. Use your fingers to pick up the surfaced worms. They will be scattered, but be sure to maintain the rocking rhythm of the pitchfork. Keep your collected worms in a container with a perforated lid. The container should also have some dirt from which the worms can from, or some commercial worm bedding. Keep the worms in a dark and cool place until you are ready to use them.
summary: Stick a pitchfork into the ground. Rock the pitchfork back and forth. Gather the worms. Store the worms.
