CEO, Founder, and Teacher @4schoolers, Llc

In 2015, my business partner, Sophia Vaulina, and I launched 4Schoolers, a company dedicated to meeting the growing needs of children and alleviating some of the demands of parents. As mothers and teachers ourselves, we found it difficult to balance work and family life and have observed the same problem affecting our colleagues and friends over the years. Our common struggles inspired us to create 4Schoolers—a company that applies the principles of the sharing economy to help families find the right providers and manage their schedules. 4Schoolers is a network of parents who share the tasks of providing safe rides, tutoring, and backup babysitting in a way that fits into their lifestyles most efficiently. By joining our efforts, we are able to create a safe, productive, and nurturing environment for our children.
