There's a certain magic in finding silver linings amidst trying times, isn't there? That's exactly what our guest, Olivia Rutman, found during her journey navigating from a banking career while being an expectant mom, to founding an innovative platform for parents - KidsCareFinder. Reflecting on her own struggles to secure reliable childcare for her three boys, Olivia's story is a testament to the power of turning personal frustrations into purposeful solutions. 

Olivia's brainchild, KidsCareFinder, is an exciting disruptor in the childcare industry, and we delve into the nuts and bolts of how it works. This all-in-one platform allows parents to connect with local communities for nanny sharing options. Plus, for that added peace of mind, background checks are available for unlicensed providers. Olivia also shares about the site’s potential to provide a specialized platform to find programs like special needs programs, parent and me classes, and vacation Bible schools.

Finally, we examine the upcoming launch of KidsCareFinder and its potential to not only connect families with childcare providers but continue to expand its offerings. Olivia unveils that the soft launch will include categories such as preschool, daycare center and home daycare, and private school, with future plans for babysitter, nanny, and nanny share options.

Founder and CEO

Olivia is a born and raised San Diegan and is currently a local Carlsbad resident. She spend 15 years in the Banking industry, and while she had a great career, she always knew that banking might not be her true calling. As a mother of three young boys, she quickly realized how exhausting and frustrating the hunt for reliable childcare was, and while on maternity leave with her third son, she had had it and decided there needed to be a better way. The next day, Kids Care Finder was born.
