StartupNation made its selection from among thousands of home-based entrepreneurs who entered the competition.
StartupNation, a leading business advice and social networking site for entrepreneurs (http://www.startupnation.com) named Backup Child Care (http://www.ChristineAdlerCare.com) a Top Ten “Most Slacker-Friendly” in the first annual StartupNation Home-Based 100 ranking of the nation’s top home-based businesses. Organized into 10 categories such as Highest Vote-Getters, Boomers Back in Business and Best Financial Performers, the Home-Based 100 celebrates the innovative, nimble and resourceful home-based entrepreneurs who have gone largely unrecognized until now. The full results of the Home-Based 100 ranking are available on StartupNation’s Web site at http://www.startupnation.com/hb100.
“Although large companies often grab the headlines, home-based businesses today are thriving,” said Rich Sloan, entrepreneurial author, radio host and co-founder of StartupNation. “Millions of people are following their passions through entrepreneurship by pursuing innovative, sound business ideas.”
The StartupNation Home-Based 100, composed of ten Top Ten lists, presents a unique look at the nation’s top home-based businesses. Category winners span a wide range of revenue levels, sectors, ages and other characteristics.
Christine Adler Backup Child Care, a small business located in Northern New Jersey, offers same-day care for children, including children with special needs such as ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, and Cerebral Palsy. It was “formed out of necessity,” says owner Christine Adler, the mother of an Autistic son. “Backup Child Care, while becoming more common these days, is still in its infancy. Finding last-minute care for Special Needs limits a parent’s chances even more drastically.”
Receiving an award within its first year of business is a tremendous accomplishment - but “Most Slacker-Friendly”? It may seem an odd category, but it does fit the bill. StartupNation notes, “It's a simple business, solving a simple problem for slackers who don't plan far enough in advance for basics like child care.” Thorough databases of client needs and associate referrals allow Backup Child Care to quickly provide care in the child’s home for parents who have had the foresight to meet in advance with the company to prepare for child care in cases of emergency.
