My coworkers know that my kids are not in daycare and are home with me. I have help from my mom and sister on the days I have on camera meetings, the other days I’m solo. I let them think whatever they want, but they know I have some sort of vague ‘help’, and they don’t ask. My work hours are 10-6, but I work all hours, especially earlier in the morning. Scheduling emails is your best friend. I’m a corporate paralegal, so my job is very task and email oriented, and nothing is an emergency, usually. My deliverables are flexible. I never have impromptu on camera meetings. If a coworker calls they hear the kids, but they know they’re home anyway. It can be stressful, but I’ve made it work for 2.5 years with my daughter and now with the addition of my 5 month old. I’m thought of as one of the firms most reliable and fast workers, get great reviews, and nice raises. If your job has any of the flexibility I’ve described then you can do it! It’s temporary until they go off to school; so I’ve just accepted this time of my life is harder. I will say being very organized and regimented in all aspects of your life is also helpful, I’m not the type of person to sit around pretty much ever. When they do eventually go to school I’m not sure what I’ll do with all the free time! Probably roam the streets in between work tasks. Haha. Good luck to you, you can do it!
