Meet the Founder

With 10+ years of childcare experience, Lily founded Maisy Ru & Co in September of 2023. Lily earned a Bachelor’s in Public Health from the University of South Florida, where she focused her studies on child development. After graduation, Lily worked as a Registered Behavior Technician as she was on her path to finding the right long-term fit for herself. She realized there was no greater love than the passion she has for children and their wellbeing in their everyday lives and committed to kickstarting a business.

Shortly after, Maisy found Lily, and together they started their entrepreneurial journey in Tampa Bay. Lily has experience providing care for all ages, including infants as young as a few weeks old and children with special needs. Her favorite activities outside of managing Maisy Ru include supporting other small businesses in the Tampa Bay Area, walking along the St. Pete Pier or beach with Maisy, reading, and finding new coffee shops and breweries.

Lily is beyond excited that the universe brought you here and is looking forward to making a positive impact on your family.
