I used to work for these ladies, they now have a business called ruby and ollies all abilities child care, and it is awesome! Getting to work with those kids, you really do see how happy they are, even how happy their parents are.
Your life seems great to be able to help those beautiful children's
I had also worked with such a group and totally relate to your experience. Whenever I spent a time it is always memorable for me.
Very Nice
Good to know. Children shouldn't be a burden.
Good for you and greetings from Austria! Country that is most often mistaken for Australia 😉
The way Steve nodded to the partner offer without hesitation choked me up.
Man thats what broke me, for real
Same gohd 💕
I had tears in my eyes. I am thrilled for those two moms that they get to work with these compassionate Sharks and help the kids who need them the most. Good luck to them.
Mam it touch me deeep
Yyyt
When John said this shouldn’t be a fight and Steve nodded. Some tears we’re shed some things are bigger than business
simp
marc S - That is called true strength my brother, only logical minds can see it & I applaud you for seeing what the broken cannot see bruh 😎
@@t4c882 or they wanted to be overly emotional to distract from counteroffering to the requested 20%. if its bigger than business and they care for it so much they shouldnt be undercutting he efforts and business by demanding 25% of the business. being realistic goes far, especially when youre giving away a quarter of your business.
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
Steve is neighbors with literally everybody walking into the Tank. He must own property in every street in every town or city in Australia.
ha ha ha ha ha ha.
He he he he he
lol lol lol lol lol
Haw haw haw haw haw
Jajajaja
I have a sister that is special needs. My mother herself is disabled. For me to watch this. Seeing someone actually trying not just for their kids but for others kids as well. I couldnt help but cry. Keep up the hard work and thank you
🤗
I hope they're doing well in life. Wish them all the best 😀
Gotta love Steve. I understand that he is quite savage all the time. But deeply inside he is honest and cares about people.
Hes a realist, he knows you need to be able to make money to have it. And without that, whatever help he can provide is limited by his funds.
Very true
He said he would donate to this other one I saw about donating fairy boxes to children in hospitals.
You know... I really used to like Andrew, Janine, and Naomi "so-so", but not anymore after seeing this episode. First, 80k is nothing for them. And they could have at least said they'd help in some ways, that's the least they could have done. But they didn't. SHAME ON those three: Andrew, Naomi, and Janine! ... Then, who expected the black sheep Steve to kick in? Well, HE did! And John goes in too. Both are amazing... Then you see the b*tch Naomi laughing and clapping her hands like she had anything to do with that... such a phony woman!
From the beginning I knew that Steve would do an offer. He seems just so fitted for this business as he really seems to care.

The ladies are crying, the judges are crying, I'm crying and by 2021 the children are still being taken care of. I did not expect this.
Nobody:
Steve: OI MATES, WHERE YOU GUYS FROM EY?!
Lol
Thats exactly why I love him.
🤣🤣🤣
So refreshing seeing two women walk into the tank with a business other than jewelry or clothing.
A business born out of necessity.
After reading the first nine words of your comment I was considering slicing you up CZcams comments style.
It's unfortunate these women even have to step up to this plate given our privilege.

I read this as "steve has be, is be and always will be a legend"
True legend for sure
I work in the Early Intervention field as a Service Coordinator. I've never shed tears over a Shark Tank episode, but this is close to my heart. I know all too well the limitations on finding a quality daycare for children with special needs. Good on you for getting the partnership. I'll be praying for you, your children, and the many families you will serve. ❤️
🙏🏾🕊
Keep up the awesome work you have been doing Lovice! Stay M.A.D. and God Bless. :)
Yes ma'am. My best friend was a Navy wife and had no help, until her boys were old enough to go to school. Fortunately, her school district had a good special needs program. 😀 Now they are back home and have all of us and more options. Their lives would have been so much easier if they had something like this available.
Good on YOU for the work you do! You’re a hero!
As a Mom with a Special Needs Son they would definitely have my business. I have been discriminated against by daycare places because they didn’t want to bother. It broke my heart and the owner had a disability of her own.
I am in the US and I have a special needs son. I have had similar experiences as you. It’s not just how our families are discriminated against, but it’s the horrible things said and behaviors of these businesses that don’t want us. At least where I am, you can expect pay 2x or 3x as much if you can find child care. It should be criminal how CHILDREN are being treated, I’m glad people like these women are doing what they are. We were never able to find a daycare business that would accept us or one I felt wouldn’t mistreat my son, we ended up finding a private babysitter instead.
I highly doubt it's that people don't "want to bother". When it comes to disabled children you need a lot more credentials than just CPR. It costs a lot more to pay someone. The daycare basically needs 1 adult for just your child.... Have you looked at how little profit is in daycare? On top of them basically having to give up half their pay to care for your child, if not more. Having a special needs child would require at least 2k to get a proper contract drawn up to avoid a lawsuit, by you, after you choose to leave your child in a day care that isn't a 1-1 ratio. I'm not saying this to be mean, but with medical tech, it was 100% your decision to take on the care of a person with a disability. You can't be mad that a world isn't bending to accommodate a small chunk of people & taking on the cost to do so. If you can't afford to take your child to a baby sitter that specializes in it, what makes you think a small day care can do that & cover all the costs to legally protect themselves when you choose to leave your child in a typical 3-1 daycare & your child who doesn't comprehend does something like smash a window & cut themselves? Or you decide they don't get enough attention knowing there's 4 caregivers per child & try to suit them for not delivering service? I know it's hard... But deciding it's the responsibility of other people to take on the cost & redesign their business is silly.
I'm not sure what state you live in but we in the Austin Texas area have a place called WBCO. They have a program called Headstart. Now this program is used by children without disabilities however they take children with disabilities before without. Yes they do fill their spot's but first for children with needs. Both my boy's had disabilities however they was not physical needs they was mental health needs. And yes my children was difficult. But they was so great for my boy's. By the time my boy's got to K they wanted to bump them up to 2nd grade I said NO. The only reason they was ahead was because this place taught my boy's instead of babysitting them. By the time they got to 2nd grade they was on level. This program cost me nothing. Both my boy's did it for free and it allowed me to work to pay our bills.... While knowing that my boy's was safe and in great hands. I am not sure if they have something like this by you but it's worth looking into.
Bother or not trained for It?
This really humanised John! (On far right)
Agree indeed. :)
Whats his last name?
brennantg7 it’s: McGrath
He chose to put greed aside and he considered his moral ethics. I felt to him it was more personal and that he knew he had to give and help with a sincere heart and with real intent.
It was probably largely because of his close friend that runs child services, he chocked up talking about it.
Perfect. They got the money and all they could talk about was the help the kids would get. Just selfless beautiful women!
ATTENTION ADMIN:
The "Company Website" in the video description, leads to a different Shark Tank Pitch....
PLEASE EDIT ACCORDINGLY.
After working with special needs kids for over 25 years in the UK I've seen so many miss out because what they needs isn't available, these two women are stars in my opinion and I am so glad they got two sharks on this one.
The sharks shouldve just all donated 20k each. They should also do a go fund me. This service for those children and their parents is so important.
They could just throw money at them, but having someone to guide and run the business end will ensure that their center stays healthy and will grow. I hope they can expand, so there's no waiting list!!!
Exactly my thought at first but then again it's not a charity. I think they should have given them a free loan and only should have only charged them just for any manual services they be providing to improve their business model.
@@itsmeowais4474 Fair point. but some things are the exception, like this.
@@user-ef5id9km3p yes, those mothers actually deserve everything good in this world because they're sacrificing their whole lives for the service of others
We don't want charity. We want change
giving everything going on in the world. this video definitely was a much needed Highlight.
Jose Garcia agreed!
I share the same sentiment too. 🙂
As a mother of a child with special needs. I wish we had a place like this I could take my child to. This made so happy that someone believed in these women and their vision.
I've always felt the members of the tank had hearts beneath the business. But this response was so genuine, I was moved to tears. So tender, and life affirming...the way it should be!!....Thanks Sharks!
Dragons den UK guys would have been out after 2mins. Aussies are really nicd people
That released them from being sharks..... They are now large- hearted whales. Love it❤️
whale sharks
It’s really nice to see how the women are in this more for the children and the family’s rather than the money. We need more company’s like this in the world.
Amen! Amen! Amen! It's about people, not money... this whole thing we call life. Your comment gave me chills.
This is the most beautiful human connection I've seen on TV.
I loved that John showed his emotions / compassion!!! This actually made me like Steve too !!! He showed his heart of compassion!! What would have really made it SUPER GREAT is if the other three would have each just donated enough to get them to one hundred thousand dollars, With them .expecting nothing in return , just an act of good will!!!!!
Maybe they did off camera
14:20
The sigh of relief Steve has after helping the duo
This made me cry and I’m a guy. But I have a little brother and a first cousin with high functioning autism. So it really touches me to see two moms start a business to help others with their children.
Men have soft hearts too ...
The girls declined 🙈
@Mr Tango That's so ridiculous, men don't have more 'in depth' emotions than women. Emotions can run deep in everyone regardless of sex.
You NEVER make a "business" decision with your heart. Hence why I'll NEVER be a millionaire lol
😂 when come to money man won’t care because they know money can earned but woman 😂 every single Sen is counted but it’s not apply for food,makeup,jewellery and branded clothes
I think women still believe that they're still at a disadvantage business-wise, so they have to be extra careful not to lose what they've earned.
@@derekborba9574 f***k yeah
Passion is key to any investment
Yes jerks like Kevin O’Leary who don’t wanna lose a single penny can become millionaires too
But u gotta have heart and passion into something to blossom into ,the Jeff Bezos and the Elon Musk’s of the world
My daughter attends a similar service in NSW, its incredible the learnings and inclusive awareness your child can get here. I truly hope this continues into schools
I truly hope these girls succeeded... with all the chaos going on in the world now, the world needed more love like this... by far my fav episodes
I don’t understand how anybody could give this episode/video a thumbs down.
Maybe because of other 3 investors.
This was an emotional episode!!! Can’t stop watching these, fan from 🇵🇭
My sister is disabled, and I grew up taking care of disabled children throughout my life. I couldn’t last not one minute without crying knowing how much this means to me the fact that there are great people out there. I appreciate you for accepting them. It’s impacting the world in a much higher dynamic than you’ll expect.
Finally a good business, good model and good partners. Nice job Steve and John.
You could feel the vibes , seriously they deserve everything, they've been through alot , very deep & emotional what just happened ... Is good to know that such Nice ppl exists. Doin good ,is the key of happiness !!! God bless them
Every time I think, "This is my favorite episode." This one takes the cake. Well done lads.
I don't have money, For that reason I am out.
I don't have children's this is why im out
Everyone was touched, is it a subject that is serious and heart-warming. Amanda was on the verge of crying but i think in her mind she was like : "It's just business".
Im not disabled, for that reason im out
Iam blind so iam out
Steve is that really tough looking guy but a teddy bear inside, you can see he’s truly a nice person.
Being a parent of 'special' child is no joke. its 24/7 job. If I had that sort of money, I would have given it to them.
The fierce ladies with cold cold hearts, could care less. They're not in the business of giving away money. They ain't called sharks for no reason.
In my teens I volunteered taking care of disabled children mainly aged between 12-17, taking them on day trips to the zoo, etc. We would even go camping once a year for a week or so, it was so much fun. They make you a better person, they make you look at the world in a brighter light, you end up living life in a mentally healthier way, and they were so much fun, they were not just kids I looked after, but my friends. I would have continued for decades but unfortunately I had my own major health problems and it has added to the already different outlook on life... and death, I had, in yet a different way. You never stop learning, and there is no where else I could have learnt what I learnt with those kids anywhere else. They are a blessing in disguise, a gift.

up.
Totally agree. I went to their website as well and thought, "hmmm I don't think this is their daycare". I hope they fix it soon.
They've renamed their company since the episode. It is now Ruby and Ollie's rubyandollies.com.au/. @Admin.
alice zhong IDK, but if you click on their Facebook link at the bottom of the company website it goes to a FB page and their background picture has their company name and was posted in a 2015...their “awards” that are listed go back further than that. Unless this video is years old then I’m a little confused.
T N it’s definitely them. Ruby and Ollie are the names of their kids. It’s not uncommon for shark tank Aus to post super old videos
Without them realising it, these 2 men just set themselves up for many amazing blessings directly from God in other areas of their lives. When U help the broken & needy, God pours out His blessings in unexpected ways that ppl dont realise is because theyve partnered with God's heart & put action to it !!!
Lol wtf
Stop. Just stop
are you calling disabled children broken? wtf.
@@thesnowleopard8e135 “broken & needy”
@@thesnowleopard8e135 yes he did...
Great episode, I even got emotional in this episode. Big fan from Puerto Rico🇵🇷!
Omg this has to be my favorite one!! They are doing such amazing things for their children and now they can help other children as well. Warms my heart 💕💕💕
13:14 - "This is not an investment that should be fought in the shark tank."
Translation: Hey Steve let's go halves so we don't undercut each other and give them more equity for themselves.
I think these types of education services should be more of NGOs rather than a business.
while this video is quite heartwarming, that's exactly what I was thinking. Or if it's not done by (hopefully) well-funded NGOs, it should be provided by the public sector. It gives me strong late-capitalism vibes that people would have to pay 50 dollars a day just so they can send their special-needs child to nursery school. These parents should have the same easy access to childcare services as parents who were lucky enough to have healthy children.
They m put me to tears those mums are just the greatest heroes of all times💖
I respect these single women. Such a hard life to live with these circumstances but making the best of it. Hope your plan keeps growing!!
A very emotional pitch and hats off to the two guys who made a deal
This episode moved me. I loved the passion from the moms, heart from the sharks. I watched Steve’s offer, subsequent discussion and John wanting to pair up like 10 times and cried every time. Good luck ladies. Make those kids’ life great. I am already searching google for Humming Birds and see if there is way to contribute. My heart is with you. From US.
Since the Sharks involvement it's renamed Ruby and Ollies it's mentioned in a previous comment with a link, I checked it out 👍🙏🕊️
rubyandollies.com.au/
Many, many years ago my former business partner & I donated money & our time to a similar type of business. We just wanted to help out someone or something in need from our abundance. At the time they were going broke & it was due to some honest business model mistakes - their vision was great & clear. Once we started & discovered where we could help, we went all in & donated a considerable amount of money & our expertise to help them sail on a straighter course.
Our goal was simple, use our gifts so to speak & remain completely out of any limelight, just help. Years later we handed the reins to someone else who took the ball & helped do great things. I has since essentially forgot about it since it as I hadn’t been involved in years then, I ran into one of the founders who profusely thanked me (the both of us) which blew me away.
Point being, when you plant seeds, water & see the first crops bear fruit, you have no idea how much fruit gets produced from those initial seeds. In other words, do something worthwhile & never look at it as to what you can tangibly get from it because then it ceases to have real value.
Ladies of Shark Tank... you are out? Well done, Steve and John for stepping up. 👏
I hope they are doing well. Such an emotional episode. This will be my favorite one ever.
If they were investing in that kind of business, they need to consider not only the tangible return but also the intangible one. Do you ever have a feeling of "really great" after doing something good for the others? that's priceless!
Exactly. What is hummingbird of all the business they have shares with.
I have a disabled child with renal kidney issues i cried alot i noo how hard it is to look after these wonderful children
Out of everyone I've ever watched that hasn't been just for a laugh this is by far my favorite.
Finally you made me cry 😢 GOD BLESS ALL.
goes from heartfelt music to intense music. Shark tank never fails.
I'm so blown away with happiness after 2 SHARKS took on with Leah & Rebeca. I know this came on CZcams a very long time ago, but still thinking of these two wonderful young ladies, well done. 💝💝💝💝
Helping kids in need really doesn't have a price! This two ladies are making the world a better place!🙏
This is the most amazing pitch of all of SHARK TANK AUSTRALIA. You had me in tears and in joy both by the end. Steve and John, God bless you guys for just being superb human beings and for once doing it more from your heart than just the balance sheet. You shall reap the blessings always. Amen. Good luck Rebecca and Leah - God bless you both and all those tiny tots :)
Tears watching this. God bless you all for loving and wanting to help the children.
The ladies know exactly what these kids need from direct experience. They will be able to create a good model that will help to expand this much needed service in their community and beyond 🙏💕
These 2 incredible women give me hope for humanity!!!
Steve is literally the definition of Aussie.
Aaawwwh Janine and Steve always be bickering and that was adorable. We all knew Steve's softie self was gonna dive in
Shark Tank Australia is definitely the best. Love these Sharks and their diverse personality. Great episode. I’m not crying.
As a male who worked in childcare where we had special needs kids this is a godsend and there definitely needs to be more ppl being proactive when it comes to little kids with needs. This is definitely the best tank episode I have ever seen.... great work guys. And to all parents of special needs children please know that there are people out there who are trying to help. God bless you all
Janine pisses me off just with that starting fake smile. Already thinking if she will be able to get more than 50% of the company
HMHMMHMH money money moni
She might think "I'm sososo smart, for that reason Im out" already with a fake smile before even speech.
We have a very special young lady with needs within my family....I know what it takes to cater for her...Well done and stay blessed😭
Rewatched this over and over ...such a good episode
One of the most natural and passionate pitches I've seen without the cheesy gimmicks. Shame on the 3 sharks who went out for silly reasons.
Crazy how the guys stepped up to the plate with the girls declining.
Nezmo why?
@@diane9812 ikr why is it a surprise
Yup
They don’t have kids that are disabled and don’t understand how hard it is until it happens to them.
Nothing really to analyze about that because their gender doesn't really matter.
This and the cutboard pro episode (from US Shark tank) make me cry every single time.
Steve just agreeing shows he doesn't like showing emotions much , but he was sentimental about this and was ready to help in any sense possible
They wanted 80K for 20% (1:11) but the recap at 10:05 they said 15% for 80K
The guy selling dry balls to put in morning smoothies, his business was also named hummingbirds
Glen’s face the whole time really tore me up. You can tell it really touched him.
Glen and Steve are the most empathetic sharks 🥺💕
I am impressed with everyone of the sharks. They all seem qenuinely desirous to help others as well as themselves succeed. These two men show tremendous heart!! Thank you!!!
Myka Stauffer could learn so much from this 2 wonderful women.
She could, but she wouldn't.
As a father with a child with special needs I can say it's exhausting But I love my son With all my heart And I just wish there was something like this Where I am When he was young
Amazing! God Bless these 2 ladies.
Cheers to the 2 sharks
All the Best from the Great White North 🇨🇦
This was so wonderful....and also hard to watch. Our 9 year old special needs daughter passed away in August of 2014.....and I can't tell you what it does to my heart to see this.
I'm sorry for your loss 😭😢💐
Usually other sharks ask about morale and ethical dilema in business, however Steve does not. But when time demanded, he came to the rescue.
I was a fan. Now more than ever. He is authentic!
Such an amazing story! I hope these women and their business is thriving!
This is brillant. As a mum to special needs kiddos I know how hard it is to find care that treats our kids like children that understand things and have feelings even if they can't verbalize them.
Omg, this made me cry in the best way possible. Cheers for the kids and families who will utilize this services, BUT BRAVO the the sharks that stood up!!!
If I took a shot for every episode of Shark Tank where someone said the word "journey," my liver would make a run for it.
11:25 "Steve made an offer, so I'm out."
lol
They’re all crying by the end of this and it warms my ♥️
Early intervention is so vital, my son thrived with physo, speech etc.. and a beautiful day care mum. Very sadly I worked at a child care that left high needs children in high chairs all days.
I really hope they’ll be able to expand. There’s so much need out there, and it’s a win-win for parents and children. The kids’ benefits are obvious, and the parents have not only the peace and confidence that their child is being actively engaged, but they get a respite from their normally 24/7, 365 job as a career for a special needs child. I don’t think they’d be able to take on children with behavioral difficulties, though, as that usually requires a one-on-one situation.
Jenny: There's a worldwide travel ban and I'm stuck in Hull, therefore I'm out.
Quarintine be like "Nah you staying in".
Nothing can stop Jenny being out
Lmao
haha
This thread is everything 😂☠️
The men stood up and were counted! well done! Kudos to the Leah and Rebecca! such big hearts!
Tear jerker! So sweet to see those 2 men so loving and caring.
Amazing ladies. Hope it’s a roaring success. God bless
When offers like this come in shark tank, it's difficult for the sharks to refuse.
Firstly because they don't wanna seem rude or heartless.
Secondly because their 'business mind' conflicts with their emotional side
Imo thats kinda messed up and manipulative, but money is money👌
this is why they wont do a charity version.
Maybe they just have a good social conscience. Also, they're all incredibly financially successful so it's not like they're risking everything to do something really good and desperately needed for kids with special needs. They're all parents so of course it's pulling at their heart strings. Not everyone is as cynical as you.
Elena Williams I don’t think it’s cynical I think it’s just honest like he doesn’t mean to be rude or anything
Idk they can act emotional all they want but if the buisness can't turn a profit then perhaps it's not a investment worth making in a "buisness"
As someone who went to school for occupational therapy, I can't be more proud of these women and their investors for lifting this business off the ground. There is a tremendous need for this type of service. love their passion ❤ and drive 🚗. Way to go women!!
The way everyone just switches emotions immediately the deal is made... 😂😂
Everyone was tearing up. Including us. Yet, the world we live in is awful. Just shows how we are all inherently kind, until influenced by others.
