A new website, NYMomsWorld.com has recently launched targeting mothers in New York and surrounding areas to help them find the best products and services for their businesses and their families.

Offering a treasure-trove of searchable resources for such things as camps, preschools, pediatricians, dentists, after school activities, and many other “mom essentials,” it is also the “one-stop-shopping” destination for the new generation of “mompreneurs” who need to balance the demands of a family with the challenges of running and growing their own businesses.

“Currently, moms have to search multiple sites to find comprehensive listings of family resources such as camps, preschools and after school activities, as well as business tools, events, and professional guidance,” said Thalia Stamatelos, founder of NYMomsWorld.com. “NY Mom’s World speaks in the working mom’s language. It is all about her. It provides hyper-local perspective on her life as a mom in the town where she lives, while spanning the country to find the best business resources to help her succeed as an entrepreneur.”

NYMomsWorld.com is broken up into distinct, easily navigable “worlds” to help moms quickly and intuitively locate what they are looking for. These areas are Mom’s World, Kids’ World, Events & Workshops, Weekend Picks, Fab Finds & Giveaways and MomPreneur’s World.

Mom’s World
A mom’s world can be exhilarating, exhausting, and exasperating – and that’s just before breakfast! This section offers moms advice on everything she needs, from where to get the best kid haircuts, and finding the healthiest options for picky eaters, to how to properly interview a new pediatrician or nanny. It also offers advice specifically dedicated to mom’s “me time,” such as where to shop for the healthiest cosmetics on the market, the best Smartphone apps to help stay organized, and beauty and fashion tips to hide the stress marks!

Kids’ World
A kid’s world can be chaotic, joyous, magical, and maddening, and it is mom’s job of managing it all at once! This section offers moms help in making decisions about such things as the right summer camp, the most appropriate after school activities, and the best pre-school for her child.

Events/ Workshops
This section helps mom check out and register for upcoming events. Past events included Camp Expo 2011, which brought together some of Long Island’s top camp directors to give busy moms an opportunity to do their “camp-shopping” all under one roof. Upcoming Events include Baby & Toddler Bonanza featuring a “preggo chic ” maternity fashion show, Fashion & Beauty Benefit, Kid Fair and Preschool & Enrichment Expo.

Weekend Picks
With all that is going on in the neighborhood on any given weekend, NY Mom’s World provides an easy way to choose the event that is right for the family. It features NY Mom’s World’s top picks for weekend family fun, date night and ideas for mom to take some much needed “me time”.

MomPreneur’s World
This section spotlights MomPreneurs from around the country who discuss how they developed their ideas for starting their own businesses – and how they made them succeed.

MomPreneur’s Go-To Gang
One of the site’s unique search engines for locating MomPreneur resources is the MomPreneur’s Go-To Gang tool. It features local support services to help moms in business with everything from marketing to website development. Quarterly networking events are also available for moms who are looking to begin or grow their own business, giving them a chance to interact with speakers as well as connect with potential new customers, partners and vendors.

Mom’s Back Up Brain
To help quickly locate local resources, NY Mom’s World offers another unique search tool, Mom’s Back Up Brain. Back Up Brain allows moms to use their own unique criteria to search for the businesses and services they need for themselves and their families.

“I like to think of NY Mom’s World as a place that reflects what all moms are,” Stamatelos said. “Sophisticated and serious, fun and flirty, intelligent and interesting – it is the perfect stress-free environment for moms, with fresh resources, advice and information to ease the pressures and craziness that is a mom’s world.”
