Welcome to Corporate Babysitter. My name is Lisa Ray. I’m a parent and blogger. I live in Minneapolis with my husband and two daughters, ages 5 and 10.
I’m writing the Corporate Babysitter blog (and founded Parents for Ethical Marketing) to explore the issues around kids and consumerism. I’m hoping that together, we can encourage corporations to rethink the way they market to children.
