Our Story
The concept for Personally Paired was born when founder Jessica Stowe decided to combine her entrepreneurial spirit with her background in childcare, marketing, sales and event planning. With years of experience in the childcare industry, Jessica often found it difficult to find the right positions with the hours and locations that best fit her schedule.
Like most caregivers, she was spending endless amounts of time sorting through and replying to postings online. While on the playground with the children that she cared for, she would often get asked by frustrated parents if she could recommend a caregiver in the area.
Jessica then set out to create her company to solve the ongoing dilemma that both caregivers and parents have - how to find each other in a time efficient and neutral environment. With this idea as the foundation, Jessica developed Personally Paired.
