Hi there Changemakers, In this episode of Her EnterpRISE podcast, We are talking about childcare.
Do we have working parents in the house? Entrepreneurial moms in the house?
While some of us might have amazing engaged spouses or co-parent. A lot of times figuring out childcare falls on the shoulders of moms. Or it is their schedules that are first affected. Kelly, Nicole and I (Melissa) talk about our experiences. So that, you can leave with new ideas for how to tackle this fluid demand.
They answer the following questions:
- Who is taking a backseat when childcare becomes an issue?
- Can you incorporate your children into your activities?
- What is a fun, silly and super helpful gift for parents?
- How has your childcare situation changed since Covid started?
- Who are the people around you, that can help support you?
Quick peek at what’s in the episode:
- In this episode we have all our kids really drive the point home, because as we record this episode all of us have real life interruptions. Go figure. We didn’t even ask them to chime in.
- Split schedules are a rough arrangement.
- We each reveal a situation where we experienced an emergency before Covid ever hit.
- We all share moments on building community , and trust with people.
- How can we make this work? Businesses aren’t talking about parents who have to manage schedules and are also expected to go back to work.
