Our Story

Spring Saunders & Dante Brinoccoli, Founders

Care Mama was born out of the longing for home—specifically, the warmth and comfort only a mother can provide. The idea sparked one Thanksgiving, 6,800 miles away from my own mom, during a conversation with friends. We found ourselves reminiscing about family traditions and what it would mean to have our mothers by our sides during the holidays. Some of us laughed about how our moms never actually cooked a Thanksgiving dinner, while others lovingly recalled their moms’ incredible meals and the little things they always did to make us feel cared for.

But there we were, in different cities or even countries from our moms. That’s when it hit us: What if there was a way to bring that sense of “mom” wherever we were? And so, Care Mama was born—a service that connects you with a mom, whenever and wherever you need one.

We recognize that many women from the Boomer and Gen X generations, who spent years as stay-at-home moms doing the world’s hardest and most rewarding job, are now navigating the workforce. Yet, despite their invaluable life experience, they often find themselves in underappreciated, low-wage jobs. We believe these women have so much more to offer the world. Their talents, compassion, and skills are perfect for the gig economy, where their nurturing abilities can truly shine.

With Care Mama, you can match with a mom for anything you need—whether it’s a home-cooked meal that reminds you of your hometown or someone you trust to drop your kids off at school. It’s more than a service. It’s the magic of a mom, wherever you are.
