12 working moms speak up about the benefits they want from employers

“We have four kids and for six months of the pandemic, my husband and I juggled our little baby without any other help, which meant breastfeeding, rocking, and diaper changing while on zoom. I have been grateful everyday for my team members’ patience, focus, compartmentalization, and empathy as we all have families we’re worried about.

I’ve relied heavily on Wellthy to find a nanny for our baby, in-home care for my mother-in-law and rehab facilities for my 98-year-old grandfather. I’ve also benefited from a flexible schedule: I block 5pm to 7pm every day to do dinner with the family and bedtime with little Annie. While quarantine poses more extreme circumstances for many families, most of us will wish to continue some of our new family routines post-pandemic and will seek our employer’s support with providing caregiving services, flexibility and open-mindedness.”
