Have you ever had to scramble to find an elementary student a safe and reliable ride from school, practice, or rehearsal? Do you ever stress about conflicting schedules? What do you do in these situations? Cancel obligations, like most people?

Rita Narayan, founder of Zum, saw a big need for safe, reliable transportation. Rita quit her thriving career to raise her four children, but she later asked the question: how can I advance my career while ensuring my kids have safe, reliable care. With that, Rita and her two brothers sought to create a platform to to solve this problem that many parents experience.

Now, Zum is the fastest growning ride and care company for children.

On their website, they outline their history, mission, and how the rides are ensured to be safe service for the children. Zum drivers and caretakers have screenings, vetting processes (fingerprinting, driving rests, sex offender records, address history and SSN validation), and a car inspections ensuring safety is always first.

After reading through many reviews on Zum, everything is very positive that I saw. Zum is on track to soon reach 1 Million rides.  They envision going nation wide in the future while being the #1 transportation and care service for children.
