Today we’d like to introduce you to Ebony Brown.
Ebony, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I have worked with small children and toddlers for the past 15 years. Although I enjoy working with children of all ages, working with toddlers has always been my passion. While working the past five years as a preschool teacher, I was nicknamed “The Potty Whisperer,” as I made it a personal goal to potty train all of the toddlers in my classes. At the beginning of 2020, I decided to start a business helping families overcome this obstacle of potty training.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has not been a smooth road at all. A month after deciding to start this business, COVID hit! After deciding to start the business, Potty Camp was at a complete stand-still for two months. I have been constantly conflicted on how to continue to promote and work through the pandemic.
Please tell us about Potty Camp.
Potty Camp provides 2-day, 3-day, and 4-day potty training boot camps for toddlers starting at 24 months. I come into the home and spend 8 hours of one-on-one time with the toddler teaching him/her to use the “potty.” I am currently known as the “Potty Whisperer.” I am proud that I can help families that are truly struggling with potty training. The main thing that sets Potty Camp apart from others is there is no other company in the Dallas area offering these services. Some Potty Training Consultants will give you instructions on how to do it or provide virtual consultations, but no one is actually going into the home and potty training the child for you with no parent involvement!
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Honestly, I don’t think “luck” has played any role in my business. I have worked really hard to start this business and get the word out. I have also worked hard on potty training the clients that I have had so far to maintain a good reputation. I don’t look at the pandemic as “bad luck.” I just look at is as “life.” Sometimes, life happens. It is important that you don’t give up and just continue working hard to achieve your goals!
