New logo, who dis? 👀 As 2024 comes to a close, I am reflecting on what was truly a crazy, roller coaster of a year. There were plenty of bumps, bruises, and disasters….too many to count. But there were also some truly magical wins to celebrate, and for those, I am truly grateful 🥹 ❤️ I could not be more excited to enter 2025. We have some incredible momentum on our side, and we plan to ride that and keep it going in the new year. One of the things I am most excited about, is our fully redesigned website that is scheduled to launch in early 2025. We have a completely new look and feel coming to www.kidscarefinder.com, for both web and mobile, and it will feature a clean, fresh, modern UI. Part of this redesign also includes a new logo, that I think better reflects our mission. I cannot wait to share more with all of you, and I am counting down the days until we can launch this new version of Kids Care Finder to California families and #childcare providers. I hope you like this little preview of what’s coming, and I hope you will follow along to see what else we have in store for you. Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season, and a magical new year! 🎄🎊🍾🎉🥳 Catch you all in 2025! ✌🏼😎🫶 #startups #redesign #2025 #womenintech #childcare #childcarecrisis #careeconomy #parenttech #famtech #caretech

Our founder + CEO was featured in Bloomberg today!!! ✨

Imagine a world where moms can bring their babies to work and have them cared for while they do their job? No separate drop off/ pick up. No funky hours that don't match up with your schedule. Ideally, even no additional cost. Even a private space to bond or nurse when needed. What a concept! Thank you to Allyson Felix for turning this #childcare #dream into a #reality for Olympic moms. What a step in the right direction. Let's do more of this. 🙌
