Brudders' Books Partners With Doublemint Sitting to Deliver Books to Foster Families in Need

If there’s anything we can say about Tampa Bay’s Small Business Community, it’s that the love and support of the business owners we’ve met so far has been endless. Between child sitting and daycare sitting services, workout groups for stay-at-home parents, or organizations started purely in response to a child that was in desperate need, there is one thing we find that is always common amongst all of us:

We just want to make sure kids feel cared for and families can lean on us for support.

We were fortunate enough to cross paths with the two amazing women who started the now widely-known childcare sitting services, Doublemint Sitting. Synthia and Gabi, cofounders of Doublemint, became a team after working together in a group foster home.

They started providing babysitting services together, which then branched out through all of South Tampa. After quickly realizing their love for working with children and families, and a LOT of networking and hard work, they established their own company, Doublemint Sitting, in 2013.

But it doesn’t stop with childcare sitting services. Synthia and Gabi continue to give their services to children in foster care. They established an annual foster care drive to collect new toys and necessities for foster families in critical need during the holidays.

And that is how we here at Brudders’ Books came across them! Children in foster care are near and dear to our hearts because, just like Brudders the bear, they are often learning how to grow up and do new things on their own. So we wanted to make sure that we could give those kids the special friendship and relationship of Brudders as well!

We were so excited and honored to give our new Brudders Books to 10 of their foster families in need this holiday season! Every smile we get to see on a child’s face when they see Brudders (and Zeke!) fills our hearts with love and reminds us of why we took this leap of faith.

Thank you ladies of Doublemint Sitting and Camp Doublemint for caring so much about the children and families of our Tampa Bay community! We look forward to a special partnership with you for a long time.
