That\'s where we come in. <br><br>We match each student with a part-time driver who takes that student to and from school every day. Many of our drivers are current or former teachers, nurses, nannies, babysitters, personal caregivers, nursing home aides, social workers, parents, and grandparents who are eager to be a positive influence in their student\'s lives.<br><br><strong>Our Values: </strong><br><br><ul><li><strong>Excellence Everywhere: </strong>We bring the same high level of urgency and quality to every child and every partner. We care equally about districts where we serve hundreds of students and districts where we serve just one. We work hard to reach our goals in a way that is both efficient and effective, and we hold ourselves to high standards of reliability, safety, and conduct. We are on time, we communicate well, and we take pride in being a winning team.</li><li><strong>Learn Continuously: </strong>We are nimble and creative problem-solvers who treat mistakes as opportunities to grow - but we don\'t make the same mistakes repeatedly. We are always open to upgrades, new ideas, and new ways of doing things, whether those come from our drivers, our families, our partners, or our team - especially when those suggestions help us be more excellent and/or provide a better experience for kids. We seek and implement feedback constantly because we want to be and do our best.</li><li><strong>Trust Is Everything: </strong>We treat each other with respect and candor, and we always keep our word. We set clear expectations and hold each other accountable, and we have fun in the process. We do what we say we will do, and own up when we make mistakes. We are honest, and we err on the side of over communicating with each other and with our families and partners. We extend grace but we don\'t lower the bar.</li></ul>
