After founding my first business- a summer camp for local children in 2010–I developed an interconnected network of parents and potential sitters in my small community. By the end of high school, Kiddie Kamp had grown to over 100 kids and I was both a childcare provider and an advocate for parents looking for reliable care. I observed the inefficiency of time and money spent by parents seeking childcare providers.

In 2019, I used this knowledge and experience to found Tandem - the free marketplace for care services. Tandem is the comprehensive place where providers come to find jobs and immediate access to their earnings, a free platform that connects families with caregivers, allowing both parties to openly communicate and create long-lasting relationships.
