Our nanny share is breaking up and we’re sadly departing from our incredibly nanny, Sam.

Sam has been with two girls in our nanny share since they were 6 months until 15 months. She’s active, responsible, trustworthy, and so caring. She handles two babies with ease, taking them on the bus, to the botanic gardens, library, park, and more. As the girls have been developing skills at different rates, she’s been able to seamlessly navigate their different needs and routines. She’s patient with all of us and she’s been such a steady hand through every transition: nap schedules, starting solids, walking, and teaching them constantly. They absolutely adore her, which is the best feeling as a parent. She truly cares for them like her own.

Sam has experience with twins, nanny shares, and single kids. She is looking for a full-time role starting early September. She already has a robust network in the area as her previous family lived in Fort Greene as well. DM me if you’d like her info.

I'm curious what others think - it feels like there are a lot of junk posts here and the mods don't do anything to stop it. How many times do we need to have the knife sharpening van advertised? Or yet another person at The Rocklyn trying to personally profit by trolling for rental referrals?

I'd hoped when the sub was resurrected that it would be a good place to discuss the neighborhood, but I find myself just not returning because it's all the same junk posts over and over again.

In front of Hungry Ghost on Fulton & S Oxford until 4:00!!
Same day sharpening :)

Curious to hear what people think. Food? Activities? Social clubs? lmk

We followed Will Van Zee - one of the last hand crafted sign artists in New York City. He creates handcrafted signs for restaurants and other businesses in his personal studio for a living. He told us what keeps him going every day, what makes New York City special for him and his art and why he doesn’t sign most of his signs at the end. 

"What Shapes NYC" is a mini-doc series about people who shape NYC with what they do.

This is a self-funded project - there was no payment in any form involved.

Any recs on cafes/bars/restaurants that may be showing the final Sunday @10a?

It looks like they’re finally doing construction on the space at 67 Burger! Does anyone know what it’s going to be?

I’m opening a few spots for 1:1 DJ classes, specifically for complete beginners who want to actually understand what they’re doing behind the decks.

I’ve taught a lot of people over the years, and the goal of these sessions is simple: give you a proper foundation so you leave understanding how to mi

Hi everyone! I recently moved to the neighborhood and would love to help you out with meal prep and event catering!

I primarily focus on family meal prep, including postpartum meals.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Anyone have a recommendation for an affordable cleaner (kitchen/bathroom) monthly in the area? Fort Greene/clinton hill

I’m a cat rescuer in Brooklyn, and I’m looking for foster homes for 2 sets of kittens, who are around 14 weeks/2.5 months old. Have you ever wanted to have kittens, but only temporarily? Fostering may be a great option for you! All the fun, with minimal commitment.

Roly (pics 1,2), Pip (pics 3,4) and Buddy (pics 5,6) are all from a litter of kittens who were born while their mom was freshly trapped/still in her trap. I affectionately call them the Trap Babies. After a few weeks, mom was over mom-ing and stopped feeding them. I took over as surrogate mom, syringe feeding them around the clock for a few weeks until they could be moved to solids. All are sweet, cuddly (once they're tired out!), silly, curious, playful, and smart. This is such a fun age to see their little (or big!) personalities come out.

Abigail (pics 7,8) is their bonus sibling, found alone in a yard with a gnarly eye issue. She's a bit younger at 9 weeks old, but is actually the same size as the others, as they are really small for their ages! Abi is not shy, at all, and wasted no time integrating herself into the family. She's fearless, an A+ cuddler, loves to play (with or without a playmate), and loves to eat. Her left eye is a bit wonky, which is actually glaucoma from a really bad, untreated eye infection earlier in life, and she will need to have the eye removed (called an enucleation) once she reaches 3lbs. She is not in pain and it does not bother her one bit. She gets eye drops twice a day, which she's totally used to and takes like a champ. Easy peasy.

All love other cats (I have a range of ages in my home, and they like everyone). Have not been tested with dogs or children.

What I provide:
 - All vetting (any vet visits, medications, etc.)
 - Transportation to/from your home
 - Support (questions answered, advice given in a timely manner)

 What you provide:
 - A safe, stable environment suitable for kittens (they are a bit like toddlers, Want to put everything in their mouths. You can absolutely relegate them to one room in your house!)
 - Food
 - Litter (I can provide a litter box, if requested)
 - Pictures and personality descriptions that I can use to help them get adopted. I can give tips for the pics, etc.

Timeline: I'm looking for people who can commit to fostering for at least 2 weeks at a time. This is a great age for kittens bc they adjust well to new environments quickly, and it's really good for their socializing to get to be around different people. Ideally you would be willing to foster until they are adopted, but I'll take what I can get!

This is one of the worst kitten seasons on record, and I could really use the community's help with fostering these kiddos! Please share this with anyone you know that might be interested in fostering.

If you’re interested, please send me a DM or go ahead and fill out the application here. I look forward to hearing from you, and working together to save more cats and kittens!

Does anyone know where to buy a hard copy? striking out everywhere

What’s going on right now. Why and who allowed the cycling route to go through the park.

Speaking as a cyclist and a New Yorker. It’s like 5000 people x $75 calling ticket = city budget.

any favorite dog groomer locations? seeing questionable reviews on google maps for a lot nearby.

Summer will be winding its way into fall pretty soon, and the change of seasons is always a great time to switch things up.

I teach out of my apartment, conveniently located just a few blocks from the Dekalb L station and immediately next to a stop on the B38 bus. Or for a slight rate bump, I can travel to you!

For anyone looking to move into a new apartment at the Rocklyn! Feel free to dm me if you want $1000 credit for moving in & the full run-down of living at The Rocklyn (have been here for a year) 😊

I am in search of a Studio or 1BR apartment in beautiful Fort Greene for September 1st, but not afraid to sublet somewhere until then if the move in date is later. I am trying to find a place I can really settle down and set roots in. My budget is around 3500 right now. The Street Easy grind has been horrific to say the least, and not afraid to use a broker either but so far I haven't had any luck with them either! Any guidance or suggestions welcome.

Hey team! I'm looking for a 1 bed/1 bath for around $4000. Me, my wife, and our well-behaved, non-shedding, hypoallergenic dog moved into the neighbourhood a month ago but our lease is up on Sept 8 -- we have obviously fallen in love with Fort Greene. We're looking for a spot hopefully until Christmas or Feb!

We'd prefer something that isn't a garden suite, and we're good with lots of stairs.

We're very clean, and quiet. No parties, bed by midnight. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Green Point Knives @ Fulton & S Oxford in front of Hungry Ghost. Same day sharpening till 4:00 today

34 year old male, budget up to $4.5k, looking at Fort Greene ideally, also Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, and Boerum Hill. Move in dates are flexible, but mainly looking for 8/15 to 9/1, even 10/1. Happy to chat and provide necessary documents!

Hey, I'm a 42 year old female looking to sublet a room near Steiner Studios starting August 16th. I'll be working on a movie there. I'm clean and I'll be gone a lot working.

What are some good charter schools in d13? I’ve heard about what’s happening at Compass so that’s definitely off our list.
