Dear Community Members,, We are asking for your support for our school. Some people in the neighborhood are saying that Potrero Hill doesn't need a childcare center because they feel that there are plenty of options available. From the feedback that we've recieved from families in the area, we know this isn't necessarily the case. The non-supporters would like to see this space used for another eatery. They do not feel that a childcare center would increase the foot traffic for businesses on 20th St. like another restaurant or cafe would. Our supporters feel that there are enough eateries nearby and that a childcare facility for children 2-6 yrs of age is in fact needed due to a lack of options. They also believe that families coming to a new center would certainly patron the established businesses nearby. We need letters from you, our neighbors, showing support for our program. If you'd like to help, please write to us at littlelync.org@gmail.com. Anything can help. Sincerely, Matt Gabard and Naomi Corson of Little LYNC

Our truly amazing nanny is available full time from January and possibly part time from mid December. We are moving and would like to help her find a family to work with. She's nannied in San Francisco for many years and has worked with both single children families and multiples and is open to either, or a nanny share. She came recommended by the couple she worked with before us and we feel like we really hit the jackpot with her...she's full of energy, very reliable, always early and our son is beyond excited when she walks in the door everyday, she's just incredible with him. If you would like more information or would like to get in touch with her, please contact me at 503-720-0716 or dseshan@gmail.com

Dear parents; Rina's Little Angels childcare program has an opening 3 day + for a child 2 years or older. A little about our Philosophy: We believe when young children learn to see themselves as competent individuals, they will be confident and better able to meet the challenges presented in everyday life. Through a developmental, learn-by-doing approach, our program encourages self-expression and active exploration. The school strives to provide opportunities for positive interactions, discovery and learning. We believe in consistency and small ration of Adults to children. Through a wide variety of creative arts, music, block play, cooking, science, language development, literacy,Gymnastics, field trips and outdoor play, young children learn about their world and discover its physical properties through their senses. They gain self-confidence in their abilities, they learn to express their feelings and ideas, and are encouraged to consider events in different ways. We also believe in a mixed age groups and encourage interactions between Infants and preschoolers through group time throughout the day as well as offering individual time for specific age curriculum (infant, toddler and preschool activities offered daily and conducted by teachers with degrees in Early childhood educations. We offer healthy nutritional meals and snacks, home made daily using fresh organic products. We offer breakfast, Lunch and two snacks daily.

Looking for childcare on evenings or weekends? I am a local resident in my early twenties working 9-5pm in finance, and I am looking for some part-time nannying work on the side. I have approximately five years of childcare experience and I love children and pets. From shuttling to and from weekend activities, cooking dinner, reading, and playing, I do it all and would be happy to hear what your needs are. I am also happy to help out with housework or pet care during the downtime. I can be reached by email (emmaarmstrong01@gmail.com) or by phone (650) 576-2541. References provided upon request.

Hi Potrero Hill parents! My 2 year old is starting at a coop and I am hoping to find his incredible nanny another Potrero Hill family to work with on Mondays and Tuesdays. Katie is responsible, loving and honest. She plans fun trips to parks and museums, creates interesting projects, and is very creative. When I am at work, I have complete peace of mind. I always come home to an organized playroom and kitchen and, most importantly, a very happy kid. Katie has experience working at a preschool and for many other families. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information. Katie is available immediately. We are also open to a share, should you need a nanny more than two days per week. Thanks very much! Allison 917-804-4095
