About Us

Stacie Steelman, Founder, CEO

Crunch Care, Inc. was founded by Stacie Steelman who began her career in the corporate staffing industry. Starting out as a Recruiter, she interviewed and placed hundreds of accounting and financial professionals for Adecco Corporation, a $5 billion global recruitment leader. Stacie quickly worked her way up to corporate management, taking a leadership role as a Division Manager and overseeing the Los Angeles market while supporting her team through a major acquisition.

After 5 years in the industry, Stacie relocated to the San Diego area and got married. She continued to develop her career in the staffing industry for 2 additional years, working for a boutique recruitment firm that focused on the mortgage, accounting, and administrative markets. A sample of her clients included: The Del Mar Racetrack, The Home Depot Company, First American Insurance Corporation, and Petco.

Stacie was next recruited by The Active Network (Active.com) to help develop a sales and marketing team for a new product, focusing on the non-profit market. A sample of her clients included: Girls On Run International, Susan G. Komen Races for the Cure, and Make a Wish Foundation. After two years of spearheading the department and developing a successful revenue stream, Stacie and her husband had their first child and she made the decision to be a stay-at-home mother.

Recognizing the obvious need in the San Diego market for reliable, trustworthy, "on call" in-home care solutions, Stacie began her new venture by founding Crunch Care, Inc which specializes in the recruitment of babysitters, nannies, and caregivers for newborns, children, the elderly, and post-surgical patients.  Her experience in the corporate recruiting industry hiring over 500 professionals, and as a mother of a young child in the San Diego area allow her to bring a unique approach to the in-home care industry.

Today Stacie and the Crunch Care team offer an effective assessment and recruitment process that meets the needs of individual families, corporate benefits programs, and organizational partnerships. The company is mom inspired and operated by professionals from the corporate recruiting and human resource industry.  They are experts in interviewing, evaluating, screening, and helping families with their in-home care needs.
