Help Wanted
Hello Lincolnwood Community-
I am need of a babysitter, nanny or parent who is available weekdays from 11:15 -11:45 a.m. beginning Nov 12th. My son Jonah needs to be driven from his morning preschool, Purta Abierta (located at Chicago and Maine), to Evanston Day Nursery (a few blocks from Lincolnwood on Grant Street). Ideally this person would be available 5 days a week, but I may be able to accommodate someone with M-W-Th availability. I will pay transportation costs and I have a car seat.
 
If you or someone you know can help please have them contact Cheree Bertalan at 773-465-1889 or on my district email bertalanC@district65.net as soon as possible.
If you would like to post information in the enewsletter instead of the Friday Folder, please send information to Erica Gruner (egruner@mac.com) and Resa Hoeller (resa1@comcast.net) by 5:00 PM Wednesday.
