About this listen
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 stage
This 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.
