Today's guest is Jenny Johnson NBE, who's a childcare entrepreneur of the last 20 years.

Now with two children under the age of three and a third on the way, I was particularly

interested in what she's doing with her new company, My First Five Years. It's an app which

helps children and parents navigate the modern world of parenting. They also have a podcast

called My First Five Years and I have listened to a lot of parenting podcasts and honestly it is

one of the best ones I've ever come across. It's really worth checking out and I'll be appearing

on Jenny's show at some point in the autumn as well. Jenny, welcome to Jimmy's jobs of the future.

Thank you for asking me Jimmy, I'm excited to be here. What led to you setting up kids allowed?

Really simply I couldn't find childcare for my own child so because of that I tried to make

doing men with friends and family and that didn't work out particularly well and one day

true story, I nearly missed the train to London because my childcare had fallen through that day,

my informal childcare and when I think I was the last person to board the train to London that day

and I actually thought I might have died from stress. I think if they'd had a heart monitor on

maybe they might have decided that a heart clinically died and I sat on the train and I thought this

is just ridiculous. I'm trying to work full-time, my childcare arrangements are a mess and that was

what was causing the drama in my life and I sat there within five minutes of boarding the train

and realised that what would fix my life was high quality childcare and by the end of the train

journey I'd come up with a name, kids allowed. I'd listed all the services that I thought an amazing

childcare provider should have. I got home that day, registered the name and quit my job the next

day and honestly that is what happened and set about and set about trying to deliver the dream that

was an amazing experience for children and what what was your job before what were you doing?

So I was the sales director and you know work full-time in IT and yeah really full-on job
