Welcome! I'm Sheila Lirio Marcelo, a working mom, entrepreneur, and blogger. As an entrepreneur, I've worked as an executive at several successful for-profit start-ups with a social mission:
Upromise.com, an online service helping families save money for college;
TheLadders.com, an online job search website for executives; and my newest project,
Care.com, a service matching families with trustworthy child care, pet care, tutoring, and senior care. As a working mom, I've raised two wonderful sons along with my husband, Ron, who is also an Internet entrepreneur.
I wish I could say I had a lot of hobbies. I've always wanted to learn more about art, join a book club, become a true green-thumb gardener (like my husband), travel and see more of the world, or train to be a triathelete. But, I've been pretty focused on my family and Internet businesses ever since graduating from college, so I decided to start this blog to share my perspectives as a female entrepreneur – covering my operational experience as VP of Product and Marketing, a GM, and now as a CEO. Check back often, and please visit my other blog,
Sheila's blog at Care.com, for tips and advice on care planning for kids, pets, and elderly loved ones.
Cheers,
Sheila
