Episode 105 – Nina Nsilo-Swai has always had a passion for helping others and spent a decade doing just that in non-profit organizations across New York City.

After moving to the suburbs with her husband and two sons, Nina combined this passion with her entrepreneurial spirit and formed rahababy®. The goal at rahababy is to bring joy to the daily rituals of parenting and make room for “raha” (joy in Swahili) in homes across the country.

Her first product is the pee-kaboo reusable potty training sticker. These stickers help families make potty training easy and fun.

Now, the parents of boys and girls, and parents of typical children and children with special needs, are reaching out to share their potty training success stories after using the pee-kaboo potty sticker.

Potty training has never been this much fun.  As Nina says, “Keep calm and potty on.”
