How do you build a local service that can scale globally?

Listen to our Interview with Lynn Perkins of UrbanSitter.com to find out!

Lynn Perkins is a seasoned entrepreneur.  After she had her twin boys, she was constantly looking for trustworthy babysitters, always asking for friends’ referrals.  She realized there was a need in the market place to make this process easier and digital!  Urban Sitter is a digital and mobile service that matches parents looking for babysitters with babysitters looking for jobs.  The automation she’s built into her business is incredible and her growth has been tremendous! Though it focuses on a local geographic area (you want to hire a babysitter in your town), her “playbook” for scaling into other cities is giving her global potential!  In this inspiring interview, Lynn pulls the curtains back from her journey and shares why UrbanSitter.com is every mother’s dream! 🙂

Lynn’s Kick-A$$ Quotes:

By having kids, it really forced me to look at what was important to get the business up and running.

It’s not that our business needs to continue scaling at a grassroots level to be successful, but what we found that is starting off that way really helps to establish brand credibility in a market.

Finding business partners that share the same vision but bring different skills is a great way to balance the work across a small team.
