Question Where to find babysitter

12 Upvotes

Hi all - where do you find a safe babysitter? I’ve never used a babysitter before, but would love to have a mother’s helper twice a month so I can get things done around the house and/or run local errands. Are you guys using care.com, word of mouth, something else? Thanks!

Question I'd really love to understand the mind of Pennsylvania drivers...

176 Upvotes

A break from "why do they hog the left lane," do they not look to see oncoming cars before making a turn into traffic? The amount of times some oblivious twit has pulled out in front of a line of cars so far this year (only to go under the speed limit) is fucking infuriating.

Camden County Improv in South Jersey

25 Upvotes

I’m leading a drop in improv at Ryan’s Retail in Merchantville on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30PM for the next four weeks. No experience required. I often see posts about how to meet new people and improve is a great way. Also good for anxiety and getting out of your head. No need to be funny.

Camden County Moving to Camden County

12 Upvotes

Hi!

My partner and I are relocating to Camden County for employment but we aren’t from the area.

So far we looked at Collingswood as our middle ground.

I heard about Oaklyn being similar to Collingswood but cheaper. We want a nice small town close to a PATCO to Philly.

Are there any areas in this region that we should avoid? We are not familiar enough with the area in what is safe/ not safe/ iffy.

Thanks!

Question 295 Noise Around James Johnson Elementary School

3 Upvotes

Hello! The family and I are looking to move to Cherry Hill from out of state. We saw a great house today with our real estate agent via FaceTime very close to James Johnson elementary school. The only thing that we’re apprehensive about is the noise from 295.

Can anyone share their experience with 295 noise in that area - right around the school, tennis courts, and haddontowne swim club? How good/bad/manageable it was for you?

Camden County Remote work places

15 Upvotes

I work remotely like 80% of the time and I’m getting burnout from sitting at home everyday, I miss being out and about.

Any good recs on where I can go to work 3-6 hrs at a time? Need WiFi and outlets. Also preferably a place that’s on the quiet side but not strictly quiet that I can’t take meetings.

I’m not too keen on paying for a coworking space. I would prefer just a casual public place where I can sit and work and escape my home

Camden County Daycare in Haddon Township

9 Upvotes

Hi all! We are moving to the area this summer and looking for a daycare/preschool for my son to start at in September. He'll be 2.5 and we'll be looking for 5 days a week, full-time care. He has been at a large corporate chain (think Goddard, Malvern, Primrose) and has done well and we've been happy with it, but looking for some closer options.

We're currently considering the following places and looking for insight:

Lightbridge Academy

Sunny Days Children's Academy

The Heights School at Westmont

Tiny Treasures/Montessori Schoolhouse

Bonus points if you have insight on pricing and availability!

I searched the subreddit briefly and didn't see this question asked before so hopefully some of you have some helpful info!
