Paulina Podgorska
Profession:
Founder of SOSsitter.ca
Speciality:
Like most women, Paulina wears many hats. She is a mother, she is an entrepreneur, she is an at home child care expert. This vocation manifested at an early age when she started being a full time nanny for her baby brother. Later on, she used her experience to work as a babysitter while in college. She then became a Mom and started to look for child care providers. Being a single mother, finding the right at home baby sitter was critical to her. This quest for the perfect nanny gave her the opportunity to meet and work with numerous nannies and babysitters and further develop her expertise. Realizing that finding the right nanny or babysitter turned too often into an obstacle course, Paulina created SOSsitter.ca, an on line service where parents and local in-home sitters connect, that’s fast, efficient and affordable.
Through SOSsitter.ca, Paulina leverages her expertise to help families find the local help they need, when they need it. The site gives parents the opportunity to use their own criteria to search through a large database of detailed profiles of local nannies and babysitters that have been reviewed by mothers. Paulina also has a blog where she shares advice to help families through the selection and hiring process of a babysitter or nanny. She also describes on her blog her adventures as a mom entrepreneur and founder of SOSsitter.
