Since it was founded in 2011, Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency has grown to more than 20 locations across 5 states, adding up to a total revenue of nearly $12 million a year–and they’re not done growing yet. Founder Kristy Bickmeyer shares how to start a daycare business and grow it to 8-figure revenue in this episode.

Kristy’s experience as a mother led her to starting a childcare business. She was stunned by the high placement fees nanny agencies charged when she searched for a nanny for her son. As a long-time nanny herself, Kristy knew she could find a better way to connect parents with the childcare professionals they needed, and Twinkle Toes was the result of this innovation.

If you’re wondering what it takes to start a profitable nanny or daycare business, this interview with Kristy will answer your questions. She’ll share the main challenges of starting a nanny agency and how she overcame them at Twinkle Toes. You’ll also hear how she manages her workflow, how she connects with parents, and everything else you need to know to start a childcare business of your own.
