connecting families with the childcare they need

Matt left Corporate America in 2009 and went out on a limb to start something new and different. He joined the College Nannies & Tutors family and purchased his first franchise location in Kansas City. For two years he started the business out of his home with basically a 'list' of qualified Sitters and Tutors who wanted to work. Families would call the office phone and Matt would try to locate a Sitter who would be a good match and wanted to work. My how the business has improved and grown! Today we service hundreds of families all across the KC Metro area with a support staff and app our competition cannot match. He is so proud of this business and the impact we are making in our community every day. In 2014 he purchased his 2nd territory in Edmond, Oklahoma and and then in 2017 purchased another one in Las Vegas, Nevada. Matt is married to his beautiful wife Jennifer and has 3 kids, Payton, Gracie and Lily.
