Puppies still need a home!
Emma, Melanie C., and David (Beckham) are
all still up for adoption. They are dewormed,
are up-to-date on their vaccinations, and (if
you choose to adopt) assistance in caring for
the puppy will be given to the new owner! Call
096-691-9207 for more information!
Puppy Needs Home! He’s incredi-
bly social for a stray and just wants
to be held. Seems healthy, alt-
hough he’d need to be checked
out by a vet. We’re letting him
hang out in our compound and the guards are
looking after him and feeding him until we can
find a good home. He looks something like a
Doberman/Jack Russell mix. I don’t think he’ll
get very big. Hard to tell how old he is – but he
still has his puppy teeth. I think he’d make a
great pet, and we’d adopt him if we didn’t al-
ready have two. Please contact Keith at

Nanny Available mid-July/August Saba has
been with my family for almost two years.
Since it’s only my twelve-year old daughter
and me, she also cleaned/cooked for us. Sa-
ba has been an incredible help to us and has
become an extension of our family. She is al-
ways punctual, incredibly hard working and
has a positive, pro-active attitude. She’s very
trustworthy, as I’ve left her with my daughter in
her charge at least one week/month while
travelling for work and easily manages the
household. She enjoys cooking and was re-
sponsible for shopping/cleaning/making even-
ing meals. Saba worked in Lebanon for over
two years and is comfortable cooking middle-
eastern dishes, Italian and other western food.
The house was always tidy, clothes were al-
ways impeccably washed and rarely did I
need to tell her what needed to be done. Alt-
hough she did multiple tasks for us, Saba would
be happiest working as a nanny for younger
children, which is what she did before she
came to us. She has over 10 years of experi-
ence with American as well as Italian families
as a nanny and caretaker. Her English is very
good and she writes and reads English well.
Saba lives in Kazanchis and would prefer to
work in Bole, Kazanchis, Arat Kilo area. She has
a young son in primary school and would pre-
fer to work until 3-4pm. I highly recommend Sa-
ba. If you have any questions please get in
touch with me via email at

rectly at 091-130-2640 .
