Camille Jaramis

In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline sit down with Camille Jaramis, founder of Ask Yawn, the first parenting AI designed to cut through the chaos of parenting advice online.

Camille shares how she and a team of parent-engineers built Ask Yawn to give exhausted parents quick, science-backed support—without the judgment or endless Googling at 3 a.m. They talk about how tech can help families, where it can cross the line, and why balance, privacy, and trust matter more than ever.

From late-night baby sleep struggles to the ethics of AI, this episode is honest, relatable, and packed with aha moments for anyone raising kids in the digital age.

It’s a conversation about parenting smarter, not harder, and remembering that connection always comes first.

Homework fIdeas

Audit Your Parenting Information Habits

Track where you get your parenting advice for one week (Google, social media, AI tools, friends).Reflect on which sources make you feel calmer vs. more anxious.Build a “Trusted Circle” of Resources

Choose 3 reliable go-to sources (a pediatrician, a sleep consultant, or a small expert community).Limit online searches to pre-vetted spaces or AI tools with transparent data practices (like AskYawn).Create a “Screen-Free Parenting Zone”

Set aside one daily block of time — even 15 minutes — where phones stay off and kids get your full attention. Notice how it changes connection and behaviour.

Model Digital Balance for Kids

Let your kids see you ask questions out loud or problem-solve without instantly reaching for a phone. It teaches patience, creativity, and self-trust.

Protect Mental Health During Information Overload

Remind yourself: not every “expert” is your expert.If searching online becomes obsessive or anxiety-driven, take a tech break and reach out to a professional.📌 Resources:
