Donna Balser, after being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years, wanted to reenter the workforce and decided to do something challenging and rewarding which would make a difference in the lives of families. The result was the formation of College Nannies and Tutors in 2007 which provides short and long term child care needs through experienced nannies and tutors to guide children through all stages of development from cradle to college.

      Their business model is unique in that it takes an inclusive approach to doing what is right for families. After interviewing families and learning about their needs, personalities and their children, a “role model match” is made with a nanny or tutor that will work the best with the family situation.

     This approach has been successful and the business now employs approximately 100 nannies and tutors plus 5 full time staff. Donna recently opened a third learning center in Austin and is celebrating her 5 year anniversary.

    Donna has been working with SCORE since prior to the opening of the first learning center and continues to use the resources of SCORE as she expands her business.

"I will be forever grateful for the
guidance of my SCORE mentor.”
