When I became a mother, my perspective on childcare changed completely.

This was not just about finding help. It was about finding someone I could trust in my home, with my child, and within the rhythm of our daily life. Like so many families, I was looking for someone dependable, experienced, and steady. Someone who simply felt right.

After 17 interviews, I was incredibly lucky to find a nanny who quickly became part of our family. Through her, I was introduced to something most parents never get access to: a trusted local community of caregivers.

Around the same time, I realized something that had quietly been true for most of my life. I have always been a connector.

I have set people up on dates.
I have helped friends find their birthing teams as a doula.
I have made professional introductions that turned into long-term careers through my work as an SVP of Marketing.

And most recently, through this growing network, we have helped match nearly a dozen families with the right caregivers in just a few months.

The Care Collective was born from that intersection of personal experience, trusted networks, and a genuine love for bringing the right people together.

Today, we help families find care in a way that feels thoughtful, supportive, and personal, with a focus on long-term fit, trusted connections, and the kind of matches that truly help a home run more smoothly.

Built from personal experience. Guided by trust.
