When the pandemic put many traditional childcare options on hold, parents (and employers) realized just how much they rely on an often overtaxed childcare system. We sit down with Yi-Hsian Godfrey, CEO and Co-Founder of The Apiari, a curated platform that offers busy families and businesses a highly curated match to vetted and experienced in-home care providers, to discuss the lessons that the pandemic taught us about childcare and why businesses see $3 billion in lost revenues per year due to childcare related absenteeism (and what we can do about it). We will also talk to Yi-Hsian about her journey as an Asian-American founder.
