Carson Wagner tackled these hurdles by first identifying a gap in inclusive childcare services. Her approach involved creating a membership model that offers flexible, reliable care and leveraging technology through a partnership with Engine Hire to streamline operations and scale efficiently. Carson's strategy for growth also included geographic expansion, initially tapping into the community's needs in Reno before moving into Las Vegas and managing the complexities of remote business operations.
