One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Working Mom Tips: Childcare Options

on



Identifying my childcare option has been the most stressful aspect of being a working mom. I wanted to find an option that worked well with my schedule and where my baby would thrive. I also had to deal with the guilt of delegating the well being of my child to someone else.

Even though my mother always worked, in my mind, taking care of my baby was my job. Having someone else do it seemed unnatural. However, in order to provide the type of lifestyle I wanted my daughter to enjoy I needed to work. Also, I had worked my entire professional life to being an attorney, at great personal and financial sacrifice. Not only could I not afford to stay home, I didn't really want to.

Finding the Right Childcare is the Most Important Decision for a Working Mom


For me, hiring a nanny was the best option for my family. It allowed me to give my daughter the gift of being able to remain in her own home every day. She lives life according to her schedule and it suits her. She also has someone who is devoted to her and her well being. Although I'm not the one providing that care, I have worked hard to make sure that she receives quality care.

Care.com was my salvation! My daughter is two years old and we have had two nannies. We found each using Care.com.  They perform background checks, rate the care providers, and the site is easy to use. You can also use the site to find a babysitter for casual use. With Valentine's Day coming up, you might want to hire a babysitter to help you get out to spend some time with your honey!

Lucky for you, an agency asked me to publicize a deal that Care.com is running right now.
