WFH parents · Brooklyn
Take the meeting. We have the kid.
Working from home with a kid in the apartment is doable until it isn't. Daycare closes for spring break. The 9am quarterly review lands on the same day school is out for conferences. We come to your place — you close the bedroom door and take the call. Kid never knew the difference.
Three real WFH scenarios
School's out, you're not
Conferences, in-service days, the random Friday off. Sitter at 8 AM. You work the regular day. Kid is in the living room with someone who isn't you.
The big meeting block
4-hour stretch with a board call, a customer pitch, anything where the kid in the background isn't okay. We come, we keep them quiet, we leave.
Spouse traveling, school is closed
The double-pressure week. Recurring 9-to-3 block for the three days, you work normally, kid is supervised.
Quiet-house protocol
- · Activities live in whichever room is farthest from your office
- · Walk to the playground for noisy hours, indoor for quiet ones
- · Lunch on a normal schedule, prepped or warmed
- · Don't knock, don't walk in — text us if you need us
- · No screen time as a noise-control tool unless you've okayed it
Same-week available
Most WFH bookings come in 24–48 hours ahead — "school just announced a closure for next Tuesday." That window usually works for us. The recurring version (one parent works from home full-time, kid is between programs) gets locked into a standing slot — see part-time nanny.
