I am an infant nanny currently looking for a job! (Part time to full time!) I am available for occasional babysitting as well. I would love to find a new job in the neighborhood.
I am a pre-nursing/paramedic student, have years of experience, an impeccable record, and awesome references! Email me at rebeccalavelle@gmail.com for more information!
Also, we are missing our cat! I am sure he is lost somewhere in the neighborhood. We are posting fliers all over the place.

Just moved to the neighbourhood (well a little off on SE Mall) from Seattle via Dublin. Great website. Bought a house for our family and new to Portland. Loving it so far. Want to get involved and meet our neighbours.
Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone. I just found out that we have a neighborhood gym. Its called Foster Fitness. http://www.fosterfitnesspdx.com Has anyone gone there? How is it? Not many reviews online so i was hoping that other peeps in the neighborhood might have knowledge of it. Thanks for all feedback.
I know of it only because it’s across the way from Slingshot. It’s nice to have a local gym, but I don’t know what it’s like inside.
I’ve never been in either. My wife and I use the Mt. Scott Community Center. http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=1120
