YOur June Care Team
Gretchen Salyer, Founder & CEO
The "OG" June Care Host (and user!), Gretchen started June Care to help all parents find their village.
Hi! My name is Gretchen and I am a mom of 3 girls. As a former, full-time working mom, full time SAHM, and now a start-up-from-home mom, I have discovered there are always childcare gaps where we are scrambling at the last minute to get coverage. On the flip side, when I am home with my kids, I miss the opportunity to make an income and contribute to my family's financials.
I've been lucky enough to meet other parents in the same boat as me (some working, some stay-at-home). We started coordinating our schedules on a weekly basis to create our own little network of childcare, centered around paid playdates. It has been transformational for everyone!
As we come out of the pandemic, I want to enable this same connected childcare experience for other parents, everywhere. The June Care Company connects families who need childcare with families who can host fun, paid playdates for their own kids +1-2 more. We handle the matching, scheduling, logistics and payments.
If you are interested in hosting or finding care for your children, sign-up today on our Get Started page. We can't wait to meet you!
