DESCRIPTION Once a month at Blush Cowork, we want to get together to build community and hear from a local, amazing woman. This month, we will be hearing from the founder and CEO, and mom-in-chief of Platinum Sitters, Stephanie Keefer. AGENDA 5:00pm - 5:30pm: Network with other women while grabbing a drink and snack from a local, female-owned company5:30pm - 6:00pm: Speaker presentation and Q&A6:00pm - 6:30pm: NetworkingTHE SPEAKER Stephanie laughs easily and often at just about everything in her life because, “Being a stay at home makes working for The Federal Reserve look like a cream puff.” Even though both kids were pretty easy, it was still an adjustment. And nonstop! Greg traveled during the week for work, and Stephanie needed breaks…and friends. And so, her childcare journey began by contacting local and national babysitting services. “It was like going down the rabbit hole. In one week, I spent a ton in service fees and background checks and didn’t find an actual sitter! It was so frustrating.” As a stay at home mom, she felt discouraged – even guilty. Nanny agencies required thousands of dollars in fees to find a regular sitter. She thought, “I’m a stay at home mom. This is my job, but I can’t do it alone. I needed help.” Eventually she found a few quality sitters through a purchased list from a local agency, but she needed flexibility. Her sitters were in high demand and often taken on the days she needed. “It was hard to match it all up! Finding a sitter was like Groundhog Day, the cycle repeated”. After a few years, she realized she wasn’t alone, and most of her friends were in the same boat. So, she said, here we go! And in June 2015, with the help of a tech savvy friend, and a bunch of can-do moms, PlatinumSitters was born. FOOD & BEV Refreshments will be available from female-owned companies. CHILDCARE Childcare will be provided for $10/child. Please email [email protected] to reserve. CHILDCARE PROVIDER Blush is proud to partner with PlatinumSitters, a company built and run by moms.

We wanted to create a coworking space with a few key differences. We are open to all, but want to focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for women to work, collaborate, achieve and flourish. Traditional coworking spaces are generally located in city centers or downtown areas, but we chose to focus on coming to our members and making it easy to drop in, whether it’s just you, your team, or even with children in tow. We believe that childcare should not be a luxury, and realize what a huge factor reliable, safe childcare plays in any parent’s potential to be productive or creative.
