What They Do Provide families who move to new neighborhoods with a basket of coupons and information about local community services.

How They Flex The do-it-yourself spirit of this greeting company appeals to its staff, all of whom are mothers. While working part-time hours for the firm, they set their own schedules and cover their own neighborhoods, so they don’t have to worry about paying for extra child care, staying too long at a parent-teacher conference or taking time off for vacation.

Something Cool Thanks to their association with area businesses (who pay for inclusion in the baskets), employees and their families enjoy lots of fringe benefits, like deep discounts at the local gym, hair salon, day spa, dentist and orthodontist, not to mention invites to restaurant openings and special events.

Founded 1998
