- New babysitting programme supports interviewing mothers
- Holistic support system helping women re-enter the workforce
Mothers, in the US, will now have access to free babysitting when they are interviewing for a job. This novel solution and support system for mothers balancing childcare and job-hunting is the initiative of a new partnership formed between The Mom Project and UrbanSitter. The new partnership will offer a USD 75 babysitting credit from UrbanSitter to any mother who secures an employer interview through The Mom Project's marketplace.
The partnership was borne out of feedback from the more than 100,000 women who explained that a lack of childcare created challenges preparing for, or even attending, job interviews.
Allison Robinson, CEO, The Mom Project explained, "It was evident that job-seeking mothers needed an innovative, trustworthy and often 'on short notice' childcare solution to focus fully on bringing their best selves to the interview process.” She continued, “This partnership underscores our commitment at The Mom Project to build a comprehensive support system for moms as they set, pursue and achieve their career goals.”
Every single member of The Mom Project will also receive a free first month of membership on UrbanSitter. Lynn Perkins, CEO and Co-founder, UrbanSitter stated, “At UrbanSitter we strive to meet the diverse demands of childcare. As a company created by women for women, we are proud to work with The Mom Project to provide a crucial support network for thousands of mothers across the country who are pursuing their career goals in 2019."
