If you are an interested party - parent or employer - please send us a detailed email about what you need at this time.

+ When you have an infant (0-2 years)

For Co-Parents

• Take turns: start your schedules 1-2 hours apart from each other, and make sure that someone is always with the baby, while the other person gets solo/uninterrupted work time

• Rotate feeding times for the baby

• Take turns making meals and keeping up with housework

• Stagger collaboration calls. If the baby cries, there’s a person to soothe.

• Try to get loved ones or friends and close neighbors to help out if you need to allocate your time to a specific work project. It’s fair to ask those people about their self isolation techniques then on arrival (depending on your city restrictions) to ask them to wash their hands immediately. You don’t have to ask for favors - ask your employer to support your new care style with Helpr platform.

For Single Parents

• Figure out your best work hours and use them to your advantage. If you work best in the early morning, afternoon, or at night, make those your chunks of work time. All the while, the baby will be napping.

• During the hours where you’ve hit a wall mentally, you can physically be with your baby - feeding, going on a walk, tummy time - these activities can fuel the parent, too.

• Let your team know your schedule - have an auto-reply on your emails with your expected delays or simply send out a memo now with how things are going and your daily schedule.

+ When you have a toddler (ages 2-4)

For Co-Parents

• Take turns: start your schedules 1-2 hours apart from each other, and make sure that someone is in charge of mornings and the other parent is manning the afternoons, so that you can find time to be together as a family. Doing this this way will ensure each parent gets solo/uninterrupted work time, as well as a sense of career fulfillment.

• Take turns making meals and keeping up with housework

• You can keep your children busy with close-proximity activities, that way they feel a sense of bonding with you (whether one or both of you is working). Activities can consist of arts & crafts, screen time, movie time, music time, independent book-reading or storytime, games, toys, etc.

• Figure out your best work hours and use them to your advantage. If you work best in the early morning before kids are awake, work then. If it’s the afternoon, make sure you plan your child’s nap accordingly. If it is at night after your child has gone to sleep, you can hunker down then. The most important thing is to make sure that you get uninterrupted chunks of work time.
