Nanny Available: We’re looking to help our wonderful nanny find a new full-time position!
Cindy has been with us for 3 years and has truly been incredible — dependable, caring, proactive, loving with children, and an enormous part of our family. She started caring for our children when they were 3 months and 3 years old. As our kids’ schedules change, we are hoping to find her a loving new family she can grow with.
Availability:
Monday–Friday
40 hours/week- start and end times may be flexible (we had her from 8:30-4:30pm)
Start Date: ASAP
We would love to find a kind family for her because we cannot recommend her highly enough. Happy to share more details and provide a glowing reference privately. Please message me if you are interested!

Cat Sitter Needed: Someone who loves kittens! (and doesn’t mind the litter box too much)
We are looking for a cat sitter to care for our two adorable kittens for a few days this October. Ideally, you would come two times a day and help with the following:
– Feed the kittens and clean their water bowls
– Play with the kittens
– Scoop the litter box (sorry! not glamorous)
You would also be welcome to hang out / work from our home as much as you like. We live on a quiet street in North Arlington near Rock Spring Park.
Please let me know if you’re interested and I will share our exact dates to see if they work for your schedule. If not, then perhaps we can stay in touch with future opportunities!

Short-term Housing Needed: Hello! My name is Keating Drake, and I am looking for short-term housing from approximately September 12th until November 31st (7 weeks!).
About myself: I love the Resto community, and had the privilege of leading the Resto team for two of the Nogales trips in 2022 and 2023! I am 25 years old, and a graduate of University of Maryland, where I studied Criminal Justice and Public Policy. Since graduating in 2024, I spent the last two years working first at an Anglican Church in Baltimore (Church of the Resurrection) and then living in the Philippines while I worked for International Justice Mission. I just returned to the U.S. last month, and since received an offer to work full-time for IJM in their Arlington Office!
My start date is September 14th. I have a secure housing situation lined up in D.C., but the lease does not start until November 1st. If anyone in the Resto community has a spare room I can lease for this 7-week period, I would be very grateful! Please reach out via email (keatingdrake01@gmail.com) or phone (443-761-1145), whichever you prefer. Thank you!

Dance Lessons Available: Do you have a wedding coming up? Have you thought of a first dance? Do you have a special event and you feel uncomfortable on the dance floor, so you won’t get up and join in the fun? Or are you just looking for something new or a date night idea? We are here to help you.
We are DC International Dance (Richard and Cherisse) and we offer private lessons teaching people from complete beginners with 2 left feet (I have a box of right feet so don’t worry) to advanced, seasoned dancers. We would love to help you. If it’s a first dance at your wedding, we can help you make that memory of a first dance to your special song even more memorable and help give you the confidence you need to just have fun and enjoy the moment.
Either come and find us at the 11:15am service or contact us at
dcinternationaldance@gmail.com or (608) 213-5149 and leave a message and we will call you back.
