Mom’s Best Friend and Babble Soft
Nov 7 2007

 

How are the two related?  Well my company, Babble Soft, recently partnered with Mom’s Best Friend (MBF Agency), an Austin, Texas based nanny agency with offices in 5 markets in Texas, to offer their clients and nannies Babble Soft web accounts of their very own!  Yay! 

I have personally met and had great conversations with Kathy Dupuy, the founder/Owner of MBF Agency, and Jessica Sjolseth, their Marketing Director.  They are fabulous people!  They are amazing to work with and in true partner style, they are helping open doors to new opportunities for Babble Soft.

It is so nice to work with people who understand what you are trying to do and that the goal of your company is to help new parents with childcare.  As an entrepreneur with a new technology product in the brave new, online, connected world of parenting, sometimes it can take a lot of education and question answering to explain to people why someone would want to use your products/services.  This is especially true when the experienced business community tends to be comprised of older people with grown children or grandchildren who survived parenthood without the Internet. 😀

I’m sure many tech entrepreneurs before me fielded questions/comments like ‘Why would anyone need a computer at home? Why would anyone go to the Internet to get information?  Even if they went to the Internet why would they search it to find stuff?  No one will use the information on the Internet to make decisions, let alone share their pictures.  People won’t spend time on their computer at home when they have a TV just around the corner!‘  In hindsight, it kinda makes you chuckle a little, doesn’t it? 😉

What I really enjoy about working in this industry is the genuineness of the people who are a part of it.  It’s clear from meeting with Kathy (who has 4 children) and Jessica (who has 2 children) that their goal is to provide the best childcare they can for their clients!  If you are looking for childcare and/or household help in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas or Fort Worth, check out their site.  And remember, their infant care nannies and baby nurses now have access to Baby Insights and Baby Say Cheese to help you communicate about childcare!
