History
Established in 2001
College Nannies & Tutors began in the summer of 2000 when then business school student and college entrepreneur Joseph Keeley took a job as a nanny caring for two boys and a little girl in Edina, Minnesota. During his time as a «manny», Keeley realized that he was being much more than a babysitter, but rather an «Active Role Model» for the children. He recognized a need for a unique and specialized service that connected parents with safe and reliable nannies & tutors as role models. He found these role models in current college students, college graduates and certified teachers looking to make a positive difference working with children and adolescents; he pioneered an efficient way to match the families’ needs with the reliable resources and a business was born.
