[00:00:18.720]

My name is James Kademan, entrepreneur,

[00:00:19.850]

author, speaker, and helpful coach to

small business owners across the country.

[00:00:24.570]

And today we're welcoming/preparing

[00:00:26.010]

to learn from Fatou Ceesay,

owner of Cairasu Home Care.

[00:00:31.080]

And I got to say I'm excited

[00:00:32.890]

because every time I meet

with Fatou and I've known you, oh,

[00:00:36.590]

my gosh, long time, but I never

really knew much about your business.

[00:00:40.760]

I guess I just knew you through

networking and stuff like that.

[00:00:43.410]

I didn't realize how big

and cool your business is.

[00:00:47.010]

All right.

[00:00:48.050]

Well, now you know.

[00:00:49.810]

Now I know and soon the world will know.

[00:00:53.090]

Let's just start with what

is Cairasu Home Care?

[00:00:57.720]

Cairasu, by the way,

thank you for having me and thank you

[00:01:00.990]

for all you do to get small

businesses out there.

[00:01:04.320]

Oh, I love it.

It's fun.

[00:01:06.080]

Yeah.

[00:01:06.310]

So Cairasu Home Care has been

10 years now since we started it.

[00:01:13.290]

It's an in home care services

for elderlies within Dane County.

[00:01:18.520]

Our main goal is to help our seniors stay

in their homes for as long as possible,

[00:01:24.130]

which we know majority

of seniors want to do.

[00:01:27.840]

So being there to help them with whether

[00:01:29.600]

it's their personal care needs,

their home chores, their medical

[00:01:35.650]

appointments,

making sure they're taking their

[00:01:38.730]

medications, things of that nature,

things that will keep them safe at home.

[00:01:43.490]

All right.

[00:01:45.240]

And I imagine you definitely have job or

[00:01:48.570]

business security, really, because

people keep coming to the Madison area or

[00:01:53.390]

just everywhere, and people keep getting

old, whether they like it or not.

[00:01:59.090]

We're all aging.

[00:02:00.690]

Here we are.

So it's interesting.
