    Caring for the family means caring for the future | Jessica Chang

    Caring for the family means caring for the future | Jessica Chang

    Jessica Chang is the co-founder and CEO of WeeCare, the largest network of small childcare providers in the United States that’s dedicated to bringing affordable childcare to all families. In her early career, Jessica saw that many working families had inadequate access to childcare. Jessica herself experienced it firsthand when she couldn’t return to work due to a lack of access. This spurred her to take a closer look at the childcare industry. Ultimately, she came to the realization that the supply of adequate childcare services simply did not meet the overwhelming demand. WeeCare is her solution to this ongoing issue–it allows parents to find care and manage that care experience. Parents can receive photos, set up payments, and overall receive a better childcare experience than what normally would be available. WeeCare has been featured in Inc’s 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in 2022. Listen in as Jessica shares her story.

Amazing insight and information

After having the honor of spending 15 minutes on a zoom call with Kalika, she recommended I listen to Kendra Scott’s interview with her. I too am a Jewelry Designer and Entrepreneur and often don’t know how to go from point A to B. After listening to just one podcast, I am in! This is going to the top of my listen list and Kalika has a beautiful and effective way of speaking. I love what she does, represents and will be signing up to work with her in the near future.
