A Note from Our Founder
For several years, I worked as a health inspector in California and Texas. When I welcomed my first child, I decided to stay home, knowing it would be too stressful to balance work and raising little ones. Within three years, I had two more children. As my children grew older, I wanted to return to work but struggled to find a job that was flexible with my family's schedule. That’s when I started a home bakery business. I loved the flexibility around nap times and the creative outlet it provided, but relying on friends and family as my primary customer base was challenging.
Four years later, Homebaked Nearby was born from a vision to provide a more professional and efficient way to connect homebakers with customers. I wanted to help other bakers avoid the stress and inefficiencies often found in the home baking industry. Homebaked Nearby allows homebakers and stay-at-home parents to achieve a better work-life balance, giving them extra time to savor cherished moments with their loved ones.
Thank you to all the homebakers and customers who have chosen Homebaked Nearby!
