Call them slumber party stylists or sleepover CEOs. Haley Soles and Maggi Lave have turned their careers as nannies into a dream business. In April of 2019, after talking about the idea for two years, the young entrepreneurs finally took the plunge and went into business together, launching Sleepy Teepees, LLC.

as a unique, stylized sleepover event in the client’s home. They can set up the full campsite in a designated room in about an hour. “We provide the hand-crafted teepees with decorative covers, mattresses, sheets, blankets, decorative lights and pillows for each person,” Soles says. “Campers just provide their own pillows.” The service also includes an activity tray for each guest, Spring 2021
