College Nannies+Sitters+Tutors, Donna and Doug Balser
This business was originally founded in St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN. We bought the first Texas franchise in 2007, one of the first outside of Minnesota. Donna ran the day to day business operations, Doug did a lot of work "behind the scenes" since he had a full time job. After 5 years, Doug was able to cut back to one job, for which we were very grateful. We came across the idea at a franchise fair and thought it would be a good business model to flourish in Austin, TX. Not only are there a plethora of college students to employ, but also a huge number of academically focused (and busy) families that would benefit from our services.
