An AI coworker
for the everyday
work of care.

For a long time, I prayed to find meaningful work where I could dedicate my time, effort, talents, and perseverance to something with a greater purpose—something that could make a meaningful difference in people’s lives and allow the impact of my work to extend beyond what I could accomplish on my own.

Looking back on my years in early childhood education, I began to realize that the experiences, challenges, and lessons I had gained along the way were shaping a purpose I had not yet fully recognized. I believe those experiences helped lead me toward building EverNest.

Throughout my years as an early childhood educator and childcare provider, I’ve experienced firsthand how demanding and unpredictable each day can be. There are moments when so much is happening at once that even the smallest interruption can divide our attention between caring for children and keeping up with the responsibilities that come with the job.

I remember one particular incident that made me reflect more deeply on this challenge. While I was entering care information for one child, another child was bitten. It reminded me how quickly situations can unfold and how difficult it can be to balance documentation with the constant awareness and attention that caring for children requires.

It wasn’t just that one incident. Over the years, I’ve experienced many moments when important observations, small details, and things worth documenting could easily slip from memory while attending to other responsibilities. Those experiences made me increasingly aware of the need for tools that could better support the way teachers and caregivers actually work.

Beyond the physical demands of caring for others, there is also the mental load of remembering what needs to be done, what needs to be documented, what needs to be communicated to families, and what still requires attention. Even with the support of existing childcare management software, entering information can sometimes feel like another responsibility competing for the attention we want to give the children in our care.

These experiences made me question why the tools designed to support teachers and caregivers still required so much of the attention we needed for the people around us.

Teachers and caregivers spend their days moving between responsibilities, responding to needs in the moment, and making countless decisions while caring for others. I believe their software should fit naturally into that reality, helping them capture important information as it happens, reduce the burden of remembering everything, and manage everyday responsibilities without becoming another task to manage.

These experiences inspired my vision for EverNest—a voice-first AI coworker designed to support the everyday work of care. Rather than relying entirely on traditional screen-based interactions, I envision software that educators and caregivers can speak to naturally, helping them capture important moments, organize information, prepare documentation, remember tasks, and manage daily responsibilities while staying focused on the people they care for.

I began interviewing people working in childcare and other care fields to better understand their challenges, experiences, and everyday needs. Those conversations continue to broaden my perspective and shape the features, workflows, and direction of EverNest.

As a nontechnical founder, I’m exploring the startup world, learning new skills, and steadily connecting the dots between the needs I understand and the technology that can address them. I’ve built an MVP using Lovable and am continuing to refine it, guided by my firsthand experience and the insights I gain from other care professionals.

I’m committed to building EverNest while continuing to draw on my experience as an early childhood educator and childcare provider. I’m actively seeking the right engineering partner, collaborators, and investment to help strengthen the product and bring this vision to life. With the right funding and support in place, I’m prepared to transition into building EverNest full-time, giving it the focused attention and dedication needed to grow into a reliable tool for everyday care.

As I continue this journey, I’m eager to deepen my understanding of technology and the startup world, learn from experienced founders and industry professionals, and connect with like-minded people who bring different perspectives and complementary skills. I’m interested in participating in events, programs, and opportunities that encourage learning, meaningful collaboration, and personal and professional growth.

My immediate focus is developing EverNest as voice-first childcare management software, designed around the practical needs of teachers, caregivers, and childcare programs.

While childcare is where EverNest begins, my broader vision is to bring the same AI coworker approach to other care professions. Each field has its own responsibilities, workflows, and challenges, and I believe the technology should thoughtfully adapt to those differences rather than expect everyone to work the same way.

My goal is to build something that grows with the needs of the people using it, where every feature serves a clear purpose, brings practical value, and helps care professionals spend less time managing software and more time focusing on the people they serve.
