Brief summary of show:
In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, I speak with special guests Kristy, the founder of Twinkle Toes™ Nanny Agency, and the owner of the Gainesville and Tampa, Florida locations. She founded Twinkle Toes when she was having trouble finding a nanny service for her own children, and Nicole, the owner of Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency West Broward. She worked as a nanny for the Tampa location and moved back home after school and decided to take the risk of opening a south Florida location.
The episode explores their journey from being nannies to becoming successful entrepreneurs. Founded by Kristy to solve the problem of finding quality local nanny services for her own children, Twinkle Toes has grown into an expansive network with 22 locations. It provides a unique framework that ensures security and work-life balance for the nannies, and reliability for the families. Aside from discussing their entrepreneurial journey, this podcast also shares the importance of cultivating community relationships in achieving business growth and personal fulfillment.
