A vibrant hub for arts and community engagement the Elizabeth Seton Center, located at 1900 Pioneer…read moreAvenue in Pittsburgh, PA, is a beacon of inspiration and service in the local community. Drawing upon the vision of Mother Elizabeth Seton, the center was established to offer a diverse range of programs and resources, including child-care services, senior services, and music and theater programs. Through these offerings, the Elizabeth Seton Center has become an integral part of the Pittsburgh area, fostering creativity, learning, and intergenerational connections. I've been here in several occasions and have been impressed with their continuing support of the arts and the community. Most recently to attend the very first play that my son, daughter, and son-in-law performed together in. It was a very well done production by The Heritage Players of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It is a fantasy play based on C.S. Lewis's novel, depicting the magical adventures of the Pevensie siblings in Narnia. They discover a wardrobe that transports them to this enchanted realm, where they aid the lion Aslan in defeating the evil White Witch and restoring peace. This timeless story, filled with magic, love, and courage, that was captivating. Catherine & Alan played Mr. & Mrs. Beaver and Matt played a guard to the evil White Witch. Rooted in the legacy of Mother Elizabeth Seton, the first American-born saint and the founder of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, the center is committed to providing compassionate care and support for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. In keeping with this mission, the Elizabeth Seton Center offers high-quality child-care services, creating a nurturing environment for young children to grow, learn, and thrive. The center also places a strong emphasis on senior services, providing essential resources and opportunities for older adults to engage in social, cultural, and educational activities. Through these programs, seniors can participate in stimulating and enriching experiences that promote physical and mental well-being while fostering meaningful connections with others. In addition to its focus on child and senior care, the Elizabeth Seton Center has established itself as a premier destination for music and theater enthusiasts in Pittsburgh. The center's performing arts programs provide opportunities for participants of all ages to explore their creative potential and develop their talents in a supportive and inclusive environment. Home to the Heritage Players, a community theater group with a rich history of producing diverse and engaging productions, the Elizabeth Seton Center's theater programs bring the magic of live performance to local audiences. Through this collaboration, the center contributes to the vibrant arts landscape in Pittsburgh while offering a platform for performers to share their passion and skill with the community. The theater area is a spacious 300-seat auditorium with a excellent sightlines but the seating is old school wood and the acoustics can be challenging due to the high ceilings and the shear size of the auditorium The Elizabeth Seton Center's musical offerings further highlight the organization's commitment to promoting the arts and community engagement. Through concerts, workshops, and other events, the center fosters a deep appreciation for music and encourages both emerging and established musicians to showcase their talents. Bottom line: The Elizabeth Seton Center is a vital institution that exemplifies the values of its namesake, Mother Elizabeth Seton. With a strong dedication to child and senior care, as well as a deep commitment to promoting the arts through music and theater programs, the center continues to make a profound impact on the lives of Pittsburgh residents. By providing a welcoming space for learning, creativity, and growth, the Elizabeth Seton Center remains a true gem in the heart of Pittsburgh.

Other than offering services for children and senior citizens. Elizabeth Seton Center also offers a…read moreFarmers market & live theater. It is host to the Heritage Players who put on live performances throughout a year. I've seen my sister do productions with a couple of theather groups throughout the years. I would have to say this has to be the best one by far. The theather is old and has a bit of a 1950's nostalgia feel to it. I'm all for nostalgia but they could use some better seating. I was satisfied with the stage area acoustics and lighting making for a perfecting musical or play experience. If you're wanting any concessions for the show it's not really anything special as it's reminiscent of a table we'd see at elementary school functions consisting of candy bars sodas & a few other little snacks. But did offer a little alcohol. I would strongly recommend to BRing CAsh as consesions doesn't accept cards. I don't know about tickets as my sis gave me those free. I'd love to spectate some plays here in the future. I actually enjoyed myself a bit & will look into what else this Center has to offer.

I had the privilege of working with Amy and Jessica last May. My nanny job of 11 years had just…read moreended and I was looking for a new position. From what I have seen, there are 3 agencies here in Columbus. Of the three, East Wind was the most responsive, encouraging, and professional. The previous agency I used 11 years ago ended up being disappointing in almost every aspect of the job search process. Where I felt empowered and confident after speaking with East Wind, the previous agency made me feel just as discouraged and misguided. And I never received a response from the third agency. The first agency sent me profile after profile of families that didn't match my, or the families criteria. East Wind sent me only appropriate job listings. The family I have worked for the last 8 months has been the perfect fit in every way and I have Amy and Jessica to thank. While they do get paid by the families, they also advocate for the nannies. I think East Wind Nannies has such a great opportunity here in Columbus! I have talked my husband's ear off about how great they have been. If I ever come across another family or nanny in need, to East Wind is where I will be directing them. No where else.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel other families should know what our experience was…read more East Wind markets itself as a premium nanny service, but neither the quality of the nanny nor the level of customer service matched the premium price. Between the upfront fees and high hourly rates, we expected a true partner in helping care for our family. That was not our experience. The final straw came when our nanny abruptly canceled 10 minutes before her scheduled shift because my daughter had lingering congestion from the tail end of a cold. It was especially frustrating given that this same nanny had cared for my daughter the week before while she herself had cold symptoms. What was even more disappointing was that their advertised on-call service wasn't available and no one reached out to help even though they were aware the nanny canceled. For over an hour, I couldn't reach anyone who could help or offer a solution. When I finally did hear back, the response was essentially, "That's our policy," with no effort to understand the situation, find a solution, or acknowledge the impact this had on our family. For a company that advertises itself as a premium nanny service, I expected flexibility, communication, and customer care when things didn't go according to plan. Instead, I was left feeling like policies mattered more than people. For the amount this agency charges, I expected a much higher caliber of nanny and a company that stood behind its clients when problems arose. Based on our experience, I would not recommend paying premium prices for this service.
