3. Recommendations needed
As a new person to Waban, I would like to ask whether anyone has recommendations for the following (not necessarily listed in order of importance):
1) Electrician
2) Hairstylist for women (preferably someone who is good with cutting fine, lifeless hair and minimizing the gray)
3) Haircut place for young kids and one for almost-teen boy who has suddenly become way too worried about his hair?
Thank you in advance for the recommendations, and thank you for including me in your group,

5. Nanny available
We are looking for a nice family for our former nanny, Deborah Lewis, to work with in September. She worked for our family for seven years, and has been working for our friends for the past three years. She has a lot of experience, and is warm, funny, reliable, dedicated, and adored by our children and her current family and their children. She doesn't drive but can get anywhere on public transportation, even with a stroller. She is looking to work 4 or 5 days a week, live-out, preferably with an infant. She has taken care of twins before and that would be fine too. Please e-mail me for more information (lsilver@stanfordalumni.org) or her current family (alison.galbraith@stanfordalumni.org) or call Deborah directly at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Thanks,
Lori Silver

8. Great weekend nanny/cleaner/cook available
My nanny who I employ full time during the week is looking for more work on weekends. She is a wonderful, loving, and hard-working woman who takes care of my two little boys. But she also is excellent with other household work such as cleaning, laundry, and is even a great cook. Before she became a nanny, specialized for over 10 years in caring for handicapped or elderly people.
If you need anyone on weekends to do any or all of the above, you can call her directly or call me if you want to start with my reference. She can look after your children in the weekend or watch them while they are sleeping and can do other work at that time in your house. She is very flexible, very patient and extremely trust worthy. She has been my nanny for almost 1.5 years now and we love her.
She will charge anywhere from $15-20/hour depending on the scope of what you are asking her to do. She only asks that there is a 4 hour minimum. Her name is Amalia and her number is xxx-xxx-xxxx or you can reach me directly - Sona.
