I’m a stay-at-home-mom with a 2yo daughter seeking part-time work in West Seattle. I have nannied for a family since my daughter and their daughter was about 9 months old, but due to financial struggles, I am looking for work again. I’m available to work full days Mondays thru Wednesdays and afternoons on Thursdays and Fridays; my daughter attends co-op preschool Th/Fri mornings. I’m open to being a nanny, family helper, household assistant, and/or pet sitter; all positions in which my daughter will be with me. She can be a wonderful playmate. My home in the High Point neighborhood is an option (but not required), if you’re looking for peace and quiet at your home. As a nanny, my hourly rate for 1 child (excluding my own) is $25/hr. You can find me on Care.com. I am happy to meet in-person to chat or answer any questions, if you’d like. Thank you for considering me.
Topic: Found mail in the street
I found mail strewn in front of my house this morning. It’s wet and it’s been run over a few times, but it’s still intact. It’s all for residents of a building on 60th Ave SW. If you live there, and your name is Ashley, Mya, Kiana, Jose, Brandi, Kyle, or Molly, I have some of your mail. For Ashley, Mya, Brandi, and Molly, it’s junk mail, but Kiana, Jose, and Kyle have at least one bill or bank statement in the pile.

Hello neighbors! A bright red mountain bike was stolen from our garage this morning between approximately 6:45 AM and 7:15 AM.
If you live on or near 30th Ave SW and have any video or photo footage from that time frame, could you please take a quick look for anyone driving off with a bike or riding/walking a bike? We’re on a steep hill, so the person may have either sped downhill or been walking it uphill.
Any information or footage you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help!Our furnace died unexpectedly two weeks ago, and we called Greenwood in a bit of a panic. They were great. Techs arrived the day we called; because we were “no heat” clients, we were bumped to the top of the list for services. Within hours, they had provided four space heaters to get us through the weekend, and on Monday a crew arrived to install a new heat pump. By Tuesday, the process was complete. The techs were not only very professional, they were friendly and very courteous. Five stars plus to Greenwood.

I’m looking for someone with (micro) soldering skills who might be able to remove a broken part from a small PCB (from a vintage iPod) and solder on a replacement part (which I have). I’ve inquired at a few local electronics repair places but their quotes exceed the cost of a new circuit board. But I’d hate to let this fairly rare, out of production board go to waste though I simply don’t have the equipment or skills to make the repair. So I just thought I’d throw this up here as I know that West Seattle is chock full of skilled people. Thanks in advance.
