by Jamie Contis 16 May '11

16 May '11

Thanks for everyone out there who responded to the request for a new lawn service. The responses were overwhelming so I'm going to try this again. I'm now looking for a cleaning service to clean our house bi-weekly. Any recommendations? Thanks -- Jamie Contis jcontis(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Seeking p/t daycare
by Catherine Gutowski 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hello, I already posted this once and I do have a couple of leads, but I wanted to re-post just in case anyone missed it the first time round! We are seeking part-time daycare for our 8mo old son from Monday through Thursday, 11am to 5pm (or thereabouts). Ideally, we would like to find a stay-at-home parent in our neighborhood or close by, who is looking to take on an extra infant in their own home for some additional income. Our son is a sociable and easy-going little boy with a lot of energy, and he takes to people very quickly! This is a long-term position, and we do require that you have experience with infants. References will also be required. Please also forward this to anyone you know who might be interested, but doesn't have access to the listserv. Thanks in advance, Catherine (and Scott)

[Highland Park] Looking for bike trailer and balance bike
by Heather Conrad 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hi, On the off chance that someone in the neighborhood is looking to get rid of 1) a pedal-free balance bike (for toddlers, to learn to ride) or 2) a bike trailer, please let me know how much you would want. I have a 3 year old who has graduated from the bike seat but who loves to ride with me and who wants to learn to ride as well. Many thanks, -- Heather "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and it looks like work." Thomas Edison
