mother available for nanny position

Experienced certified teacher, coach and out-of-school educator seeking nanny position. I am looking to care for another child along with my own.    My love for children has served as a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. As a mother, as an elementary school teacher for four years, as a youth coach and as a baby sitter, I have experience working with children in many different capacities. While being home with my daughter for the past 14 months I have come to the realization that I truly enjoy providing care for and facilitating the development of young children.

 

My name is Emily. I am kind and caring. I will be excited to greet you and your child everyday. I value each child's individual learning style and will tailor my care accordingly.  I value nutritious organic meals and frequent trips to green spaces, and I am skilled in creating an environment that fosters healthy social interactions. I am very involved with new moms and parents in Ditmas Park and I am hoping for an opportunity to care full-time for a child in the Ditmas Park area. I would love to care for a child who ranges in age from newborn to three years old.

 

Please contact me at ditmaseducator@gmail.com for more information. 

$625 Awesome Ditmas Park House Seeking Additional Awesomeness!! (ASAP)!

So, two of our lovely roommates are moving. We are sad to see them go, but.... this could be your opportunity to live in a great house (yes, a HOUSE!), in a cool location (right off of Cortelyou Rd., great restaurants, wine bar, Vox Pop coffee shop, organic grocery stores, farmer's market, right off the B/Q line & a walk to the F/G and Prospect Park) with awesome roommates. The house has two floors, five bedrooms, two bathrooms (1 per floor), a kitchen with a dishwasher, a large living room, and two fabulous porches to gaze at the tree-lined streets in the front and beautiful weeping willow in the back! Presently, we have one room that will be available for July 1st (the other room just got snagged!). The first floor room is roughly 12x10, has an amazing built-in wooden floor-to-ceiling book/anything shelf, hardwood floors and a high ceiling to boot, and is available July 1st ($625). Utilies are included in the rent (sweet deal!)! Another plus: the landlord lives downstairs in a separate section of the house and is very responsive about repairs and needs of the house.



About us: we are two ladies and one guy; late 20's to mid 30's; laid back; an active bunch with porch lounging thrown in for good measure; diverse; excited about life's happenings; good communicators. Between the three of us, we are: a grad student and part-time teacher; our very own resident "Betty Crocker" (seriously, the most delectable cupcakes!)/performer/writer; and a filmmaker/writer.



What we're looking for? A cool person who is excited about what's next in their life; good (open, direct, respectful) communication skills; a value for cleanliness without being neat freaks; preferably past the mid 20's mark. What else? Someone who appreciates, and can contribute to a sense of community, while having their own going on's and are mindful of individual space/time/boundaries. Oh, and this is a non-smoking house. No pets or room shares. Security deposit and first month's rent required for move-in.



Well, that about sums it up. We're looking to schedule interviews as soon as possible. Please be sure to leave your contact info when you reply, and tell us a bit about yourself. You may reach us at: yellowvictorian@gmail.com

We are renting our lovely, modern and very sunny Brooklyn apartment. Our
apartment is a big, very clean two bedroom and well suited for a couple with one
or 2 children. The apartment is located in a neighborhood called Ditmas Park
which is close to Prospect Park and known for its old Victorian mansions. Ditmas
Park is a very green and very safe neighborhood which has a neighborly and
kid-friendly feel to it. There are many artists living here and people come from
all over the city to its well-known restaurants.

Our apartment is fully furnished, with large windows, wooden floors, and a
fully-equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms (1 bathtub, 1 shower) and a sunny deck. Each
room has separately controllable ac/heat. The apartment comes with high speed
internet, a movie projection system, a clothes washer and a dishwasher. Sheets,
towels, blankets, blowdryer, etc. are provided. The apartment is in a small, new
building (finished 2009). It has an elevator and therefore can be accessed with
wheelchair or stroller.

The apartment has two queen-sized beds, one single-person sleeper sofa in the
living room, and one child bed in the master bedroom and can accommodate 5
adults and 1 child.

We are located in Ditmas Park which is considered one of the most interesting
and diverse neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Affordable shops, several excellent,
high-end restaurants with delicious food, 2 coffee shops, 2 hip bars, a food
coop and a large health food store, a health collective which offers affordable
yoga classes and much more called "Third Root", and a herbal pharmacy, a wine
store (includes organic wine) and 2 playgrounds are only one minute away. A
farmer's market is being held on Sundays. The Apt is on the same block as 'The
Farm on Adderley (restaurant), which got rated by Time Out Magazine as the "best
reason to ride the Q train." At the end of this post you can find some links to
our neighborhood, the neighborhood blog, its restaurants. etc.

Transportation:
Prospect Park (Brooklyn's best park!) can be reached in 5 min by bicycle or
within 10 minutes on foot through an area with beautiful, free standing
Victorian homes. The Q-train and the B-train are 5 minutes away and the F-train
15 minutes. The Q-train for example brings you to SoHo in 18 minutes. A ride to
Union Square takes about 25 minutes. Several express buses to Manhattan are also
available and are less than 1 minute away from our apartment. The ocean can be
reached via subway in about 20 minutes as well.

We are looking for a responsible, quiet, and respectful people who don't smoke
and have no pets. Deposit which will be returned to you upon seeing that nothing
is damaged in the apartment when you leave.

$804, Short-term roommate, BIG 2 BR - option to take lease (Ditmas Park)

I'm a woman in my 30s, looking for a short-term roommate to share my large 2BR in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn on E. 19th St and Cortelyou Rd.

The room is available immediately through September 30 or any portion of that. I am moving on Oct. 1. You could apply to take over the lease at that time if you're interested.

Your rent would be $804 plus gas and electric. You can share internet if you want ($15 - $25 each per month), but no obligation.

The apartment is off Cortelyou Road, 3 blocks from the Cortelyou Road Q and B train station approximately 30 minutes to Union Sq. on the Q train, 30 minutes to E. 4th on the B (runs weekdays only). 10 minute walk, or 3 minute subway ride, to Prospect Park via the stately Victorian homes and tree-lined streets of Victorian Flatbush.

Close to Cortelyou Road's burgeoning restaurant and bar scene – great food, live music, nice people. Diverse neighborhood with a good sense of community. For groceries a Super Stop and Shop is in walking distance, Met Foods, two natural food stores and a weekly, year-round farmers market. Two CSA farmshares are available in the neighborhood.

I have three well-behaved cats, so you should be comfortable with cats. I'm sorry but I can't take other cats or dogs.

The room:
• Good size, 13.5' x 12'
• Windows on two walls. (You can remove the red curtains left by a previous roommate – unless you like them.)
• Decent-size closet
• Possibility to use futon bed and desk that are there
