Faye Rogaski, founder
Faye was born in Wimbledon, England, although she doesn’t have a British accent. She mostly grew up in Mendham, NJ where she built a burgeoning babysitting business starting at 11 years old with “Faye’s Babysitting” flyers in every mailbox in her neighborhood (the flyer is framed in her office). Despite her age, her love of children and level of responsibility garnered significant attention and a vast number of “clients.” By the time she was 16 she purchase her very own Mustang convertible with her babysitting money. Faye is an Adjunct Professor of Communications at NYU and has a 14 year public relations background building brands and images.
