In December 2019, working mother Rebecca Lock encountered a problem that many working parents, especially working mothers are far too familiar with – she was in the midst of advancing her career but could not find anyone to drive her children to their given activities. She felt frustrated and disappointed when she had to turn down a career changing opportunity. Rebecca began to speak with other working parents across the country about their experience navigating career and family responsibilities and quickly realized she was not alone in her situation. With no adequate alternatives in sight – Rebecca knew an innovative solution was needed. She took matters into her own hands and conducted 800 test rides, often with her then three and six-year-old children in tow.
Just a few months after being forced to turn down her game-changing career opportunity, Rebecca realized it was the best thing that could have ever happened. She founded Kidcaboo, a modern transportation solution that enables busy parents to schedule rides immediately or in advance for their school-aged children that are safe and reliable. Today, Kidcaboo is changing the lives of families in North Carolina, Texas, Connecticut and Arizona while quickly expanding to other states nationwide.
