Hayleigh

Content Specialist, Chaos Coordinator

Meet the Chaos Coordinator! Meet our chaos coordinator! We are so fortunate that Hayleigh's incredible parents are willing to share her with us. She is an important member of our family, and we are excited to bring her along on our new business journey! Hayleigh is studying education at Francis Marion University and has big aspirations to become a teacher and eventually a school principal! Born and raised in Florence, SC, her childhood involved being an active gymnast, learning to play the violin, and picking up the language of German. Hayleigh loves serving her community by teaching young children at her church and as the community service director of her sorority. When she isn't coordinating chaos at the Straus House, she is busy babysitting for other families and training new hires at Chick-fil-a. In addition to education and community service, Hayleigh loves all-things self care and takes pride in her hair, nails, and fitness routine. She's a loyal client of her local esthetician and enjoys learning about new brands and products!

Emmett & Andi Rae

Field Testers

Meet the kiddos! Starting at the ages of three and six, Andi and Emmett began learning about the value of hard work and finance. As part of our household, they have responsibilities and are learning about budgeting through our 3-jar allowance system. They can often be found hosting lemonade stands and impromptu yard sales. Mirroring the passions of their parents, both kids LOVE to travel and are learning to appreciate the beauty of nature and the excitement of city life! Andi Rae's first trip was at the age of 8 weeks! Andi Rae loves horses and can regularly be found taking riding lessons at her favorite equestrian barn. She has her own unique sense of fashion that her mom is learning to embrace (no more ruffles and cutesy hair bows for this sassy girl!). She is in the Spanish language immersion program at her school and while we are proud of her for her brains and talents, Andi Rae knows the most important thing to her parents is for her to be KIND and HUMBLE. Emmett is a busy five year old, enjoying his final stretch of pre-k! He is curious with a little streak of orneriness.... If you can't find him, he's probably climbing a tree, sneaking candy, or practicing his latest parkour moves. This year, he is learning to read and comes home each day excited to share his new book. He loves playing sports at the YMCA and playing with his best neighbor buddy!
