Hi Everyone: Home fires are way more dangerous <https://www.ready.gov/home-fires> than things like terrorist attacks, hurricanes or floods, but we often underestimate the risk they pose.

Hi Sandra and members of the City Council, The local Cambridge chapter of the American Red Cross is bringing its Home Fire Campaign to the city of Cambridge on April 6, May 20 and June 3. I am looking for help in spreading to word to residents and am hoping this event can get mention during the upcoming April 3 regular meeting of the City Council. To explain what this program is, the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign works to teach people how to be prepared for home fires and also checks/replaces old or broken fire alarms and CO detectors in homes that need them. This is a free program. I truly appreciate your efforts in helping to spread the word to parents about this free, life-saving program. I have attached a flyer with more information about this program. Any help in spreading this information to residents would be wonderful. Please let me know if you have any questions, and again, thank you so much!

FW: Looking for a family for a nanny-share (we already have a wonderful nanny!)

Looking for a family for a nanny-share (we already have a wonderful nanny!) <https://avonhillcambridge.nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=45487795> Taryn Catlin <https://avonhillcambridge.nextdoor.com/profile/12591682/> from Huron Village · 3d ago Hi neighbors, We have a ~9 month old daughter, Eleanor. And since December 5th we have had a nanny coming to our home. We feel very fortunate to have found the nanny we did, as she came to us with a lot of experience and we all adore her! She is from Nepal, speaks excellent English and also speaks Nepali and Hindi (and apparently some German as she was an au pair there before moving to the US). She has a green card. However, Eleanor is now ready for more socialization and stimulation! So we are looking for a full-time nanny share, ideally with a child roughly her same age. We do plan to continue to use our same nanny, and we'd be happy for you to meet her and we can pass along her prior references. We are happy to host the nanny share at our home all 5 days, but appreciate the other family may want to split. As our nanny takes public transport, the other home does need to be convenient by public transport to Harvard Square or another Red Line T stop. We live on Huron Ave so are across the street from the 72 bus stop. Please message me if you have any interest! taryncatlin(a)gmail.com Thank you! Taryn
