Local Mom Believes She Has “It”

Michele Crook, a Huntsville mom of a five month old, is attempting to turn her maternity leave into a dream opportunity. One afternoon while doing dishes, among other things, with the television on in the background, she learned of a TV show host competition. However, what Crook heard coming from the TV wasn’t without a catch; applicants should possess a special skill or talent. “Nope, not me,” she thought. But then the ‘it’ factor was mentioned. “Hmm, maybe me,” she realized. “Okay, now what kind of show will I come up with and submit for the competition?” Crook questioned, not realizing the answer was literally right under her nose as she stood in the kitchen holding her baby. Moments later, the show idea hit her like a freight train; a show for parents about being parents, a show for expectant parents to parents of kindergarten age children, a show to answer questions, provide information, and share ideas with parents, a show to help parents become their own baby’s expert.

While Crook has her own child and has worked as a nanny and developed her own nanny business, she will not claim to be a child expert, just child experienced who knows there is a great need for this type of TV show among all the gossip, food, home décor, gardening, golfing, sport, etc. shows. Rather than being the shows know-it-all, Crook plans to turn to subject matter experts to provide the answers and inform the viewers. Each show will be topic driven with some topics becoming recurring themes in order to do the subject justice and to be most helpful to parents. The shows will also feature relevant site visits incorporating the day’s topic and whenever possible, will show parents with their children experiencing things together. Recognizing that all parents are proud parents, Crook will also have a daily “look at me” segment showing a viewer’s special submitted video clip.

Crook’s three minute audition video is available on line. It features show topic suggestions presented by local moms, dads, and a collection of subject matter experts, each of whom is excited about the show and Crook’s enthusiasm and her ‘it’ factor.
