Meet Ana Castaño, Prospera’s Entrepreneur Fellow and Founder The Nanny Collective! 

Ana is from Michoacan, Mexico where she lived until 1996 when she came to California. She has worked with the LGBT and immigrant communities through activism. She previously worked as a teacher in rural areas throughout various Mexican regions. She is now in the beginning stages of starting a second coop for childcare in the Bay Area, The Nanny Collective. She has five years experience as a nanny and has grown very passionate about being a nurturing presence in the lives of children which is what is motivating this next entrepreneurial endeavor. 

Prospera is thrilled to announce the launch of a brand new Fellowship - a unique, culturally focused program that accelerates the incubation of Latina-led cooperative businesses. What’s unique about Prospera’s new fellowship program is that it is dedicated exclusively to lifting up Latina immigrant entrepreneurs who are committed to the cooperative model. 

Prospera believes that when Latinas are at the forefront of our local economies the whole community benefits.
