[Highland Park] Looking for Childcare for the Summer?
by Melissa Wilson 10 May '13

10 May '13

I run a small in-home daycare in Wilkinsburg and have a temporary opening for the summer. From June 10th - August 15th I have one spot open Monday-Thursday. Please note that the other children I watch are under the age of 1, I'm happy to watch a young school age child but I realize not all kids will do well with a couple really young ones around. Feel free to email or call me at 724-678-3079 if you are interested. Melissa

[Highland Park] ISO: Ikea Kura bed/bunk beds
by Rachel Bonnet 10 May '13

10 May '13

Might be a long shot, but we're looking for a bunk bed for our kiddos. The IKEA style is the most compact so that'd be ideal, but if you have a smaller bunk bed that would be awesome too. Anyone looking to sell one of these? Thanks so much, Rachel

Neighbors, I'm looking for small-ish rubber stamp letters to borrow or buy for a project. They don't need to be tiny, but they need to have a small enough letter to fit sideways on a popsicle stick. I tried Michael's and they didn't have any. I would need to locate these asap, hopefully by Saturday. thank you, Jana
