Lynn Perkins is CEO & Founder of UrbanSitter, an online and mobile service that is reinventing the way parents find trusted childcare.

In 2011 Lynn founded UrbanSitter and launched it into a national marketplace in less than a year. Since then, more than 100,000 sitters have joined UrbanSitter in order to find flexible work to help offset school tuition, afford living expenses, and earn supplemental income.

In the past year, UrbanSitter has doubled both its membership and bookings and extended its service to more than 60 cities; launched a new mobile product; announced integration with LinkedIn; and developed multiple corporate partnerships with companies like AirBnB, OpenTable and Lyft.

An Internet startup veteran, UrbanSitter is Lynn’s third startup experience. Previously, she served as founder and CEO of Xuny.com and VP of Business Development at Bridgepath.com.

Lynn is a graduate of Stanford University. She enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors with her husband and three rambunctious sons.
