Free Vulnerability Threat Assessment
A Safety and Security Consulting Firm will perform a free vulnerability threat assessment of your school or childcare center.

Assurance Mamas will review each vulnerability threat assessment to determine available funding based on the estimated costs of the recommendations.
Our Story
Assurance Mamas, Inc. was founded in April 2023. The founders, Jessica Gillis and Shelby Carden, are both mothers and Certified Public Accountants. When The Covenant School shooting occurred in Nashville, TN on March 27, 2023, Jessica and Shelby immediately wanted to take action to help keep children in schools and childcare centers across the state of Tennessee safe, and established Assurance Mamas.The name Assurance Mamas is an ode to the founders’ accounting background, as “assurance” is a widely used accounting term, while also encompassing the desire to provide assurance, or confidence, to caregivers regarding the safety of loved ones while at school or a childcare center. The Assurance Mamas logo was designed to honor the six innocent lives lost at The Covenant School that inspired the birth of the organization with six flowers and the time of the shooting on the school’s clock.
