How We Got Started

Smart Moms was founded by Garla Glover-Smith and Michelle Yanik in 2003. We both were looking for flexible work options where we could be close to our young children but have adult interactions and utilized the education and skills we had acquired prior to becoming a SAHM. We brainstormed and came up with the idea of Smart Moms, a boutique recruiting firm that places skilled stay-at-home mothers at small businesses. Our first placement was an administrative assistant with a Cary Realtor for 10 hrs/week.

During our 16 years of service, Smart Moms has connected hundreds of proactive, self-directed moms with flexible employers who understand that the traditional 40-hour workweek isn’t for everyone.
