Marilyn Rifkin and Deborah Notis were just your typical busy moms; they spent hours trying to find the best tutors, coaches, and activities for their kids. Pretty soon, their friends were coming to them for recommendations. Light bulb! Why not pool their resources and help other parents save time and effort?
Thus, Gamechanger was born; for no fee, there’s one stop shopping for assistance with preparation for the SATs, locating opportunities for music and sports activities, even help with the dreaded college essays needed to get into the best schools.
“Our goal is to empower the well-rounded child,” explains Marilyn. “We vet all the teachers, coaches, everyone connected with helping give kids the ultimate experience,” adds Deborah. “We’re committed to matching up youngsters with just the right person to help them achieve success. We make sure that prices are competitive, and that only the best people are on our rosters for coaching in bar and bat mitzvahs, organizing children’s parties, teaching languages. Very often, parents start by seeking help with academics; when they understand how easily and quickly we can provide other great prospects for their kids, they branch out.”
Gamechanger collects a commission from their proven experts, not from the families they help. “We value creating a work/life balance for ourselves, so we understand how important it is to free up valuable time for our clients,” Deborah says thoughtfully. Marilyn smiles, “We’re very regimented and organized, and we’re experts at networking. It’s all about giving your child the ultimate advantage, which is the goal of every parent.” “Gamechanger,” uwn@gamechangernow.com; 914 449-6772
