Interesting concept. There's lots of opertunities to inject technology into "legacy" businesses.

Are the current "childcare agencies" for arranging a childcare provider to come to the home and watch over the children? Can you elaborate a little more on the "childcare agencies"? How long are the engagements, how many days a week and how many hours per day, etc.?

Think about the benefits for employers. Campanies who allow WFH probably would appreciate it if their employees can focus on work and not the kids.

Don't think about how to scale this yet, concentrate on signing up just a few businesses. I'd start in a locale that has an intersection of the following: 1. Existing customers who'd be willing to champion this with their own employers. 2. A "childcare agency" that is reliable and you trust. Considering they are taking care of kids, hopefully this won't be too hard to find. 3. Large employers known for allowing WFH.

Childcare agencies are companies that recruit, select, agglomerate, and supervise childcare providers (nannies, babysitters, etc.) so whenever a family needs a childcare service in their home they have a huge network of candidates from which to select. The engagements can vary from just a couple of hours to long-term relationships of years, but what we are aiming at is what is called backup care, "emergency services" just for a couple of hours, which is the most needed service from employees that work on big corps. Now it makes sense?

I think what you are saying about not trying to scale yet makes sense, we want to find at least our first customer to get as much feedback as we want so we can improve our product.

Thanks for your advice!
