Meet our featured beauty with brains Jaspreet Kaur Sidhu, an entrepreneur based in Sydney, Australia; who recently joined our platform. She is the owner of Emu Kids Drop & Shop (https://www.facebook.com/emukidsdropandshop).
Here is her story:
“We, Sukhwinder and Jaspreet, are proud parents of two young boys named Emaanvir and Teghvir. Teghvir was born at 27 weeks with a c-section. There was no help as we could not have someone from India with international travel restrictions. Teghvir stayed in ICU for about six weeks, and with a 4 year old at home, it was tough to manage. We were supposed to go to the hospital at least once a day. We did not want to be in any commitment of a day care program at the time. We managed with the help of some fantastic friends, but it was indeed a difficult situation as parents.
To overcome this issue, we started something that doesn’t require any commitment and limitation of booked hours. As Jaspreet had previously run a family daycare, we thought of starting a drop and shop station to help working parents. It is indeed hard to manage kids at shopping centres when you are in a hurry or want to have some ‘ME’ time or want to have a coffee or even a manicure.
Emu Kids Drop and Shop is a fully supervised and interactive space for children. As parents of a 4-year-old, we understand how hard it is to skip a toy aisle. So we offer a range of different activities for children to have an entirely new and fun shopping centre experience.
We started with the mission of helping parents struggling to manage their kids but not wanting long term daycare commitments. We want to be the best in the field, and our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and interactive environment for children.” – Jaspreet.
We commend her for using her tough situation as motivation to start a venture to help other parents. Please support her. They also organise birthday parties as well as occasional care, after school care, school holidays homework help etc. Message their FB page or Instagram account for further details:
