Ep. 65 From College Dropout to 75 Employees: The Courage to Build Something Bigger

In this episode, I’m joined by Carson J. Wagner, founder of Lifetime of Love Nannies, a US-based childcare agency offering inclusive, personalised, 24/7 in-home care. Carson started her business at just 19, left college, ignored every voice telling her she was crazy… and went on to build a company with over 75 employees across three locations (and more on the way).Her story is powerful for anyone working in the birth, postpartum, and family support industries — especially if you’ve ever wondered:Am I ready to grow?Who am I to hire help?How do I charge properly for the care work I do?What would it look like to expand while staying ethical and values-led?We talk about:✨ The bravery it takes to start before you feel ready ✨ Building a business model based on actual community need ✨ Why she chose to hire nannies as employees, not contractors ✨ The link between care work being undervalued and feminism ✨ How to charge your worth when your work feels “heart-led” ✨ The importance of company culture when building a team ✨ How she scaled to multiple locations without burning out ✨ Why community, mentorship + support matter at every stageThis conversation is especially relevant for doulas, lactation consultants, childbirth educators, postpartum doulas, nanny agency owners, newborn care specialists, and anyone offering hands-on care.If you're currently working solo but feel the nudge that something bigger is possible — this one will speak to you.Connect with CarsonWebsite: https://lifetimeoflovenannies.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carson-wagner-17a96b197/Get the Easy Content Creation - Summer Edition trainingConnect with Me InstagramFacebookLinked In
