Julie Hunt - A full-time champion for children!

Julie Hunt is a full-time champion for children! She’s been investing in the lives of kids for over 30 years. Whether babysitting, mothering, teaching Sunday School, arts and crafts classes or life skills classes, you better believe, with Julie, it’s all about kids. Her passion is to teach kids and parents to be smart about life. She attended Oklahoma State University, majoring in broadcast journalism. She worked in the news department at a radio station and did feature stories for a local cable station.

A move to Tulsa delayed Julie’s career in broadcasting, but started her career in motherhood. She has two children, Aubrey and Cameron. As a young wife and mother, she decided to invest in the lives of children anyway she could. She supplemented the family income by teaching kid’s arts and crafts and hosting children’s birthday parties. In 1990, she dusted off her journalism skills and wrote a pre-teen curriculum, Babysitting 101.

After six years, she had single-handedly taught thousands of children babysitting skills. Julie founded Production 101, Inc., a television production company. This provided the means to “clone” Julie’s teaching, allowing her to educate through videotape. Her vision is simple: teach kids how to be successful in life. In addition to Babysitting 101, she has written and produced SafeKids 101 and PoliteKids 101, with two more to come, Business 101 and Healthy Habits 101 (2007).

She has added syndicated columnist to her long list of accomplishments. The Virtual Mom is read in newspapers across America. Julie communicates with great energy, passion, humor, warmth, and grace. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, children and a miniature dachshund named Gretta.
