Guest speaker: Haylee Killip - Founder and CEO of NOD

Haylee spent 16 years in advertising before becoming a mum, which changed her life. Struggling to find trusted childcare, she created NOD, an Uber-like platform delivering vetted nannies to your door in under an hour. NOD gives parents flexible, real-time support to work, rest, or take a break.
