  • Hey guys and welcome back! Today I'm showing you all the behind the scenes of me working from home. I work fully remote while taking care of my two-year-old. Our days can vary day to day depending on my workload and how Troy is feeling. I keep myself on track by making sure that Troy is on a set schedule where all his needs are being met. I try my best to keep him occupied with plenty of sensory toys and screen time. I make time for myself by going to the gym in the mornings before work. I also wanted to add that this was a "good day". Not every day goes this smoothly, especially when I have multiple meetings in a day. Working from home with a young child can be extremely overwhelming. I hope this video gives another work from home Mama encouragement! We got this!! ❤️

      Omg! The crawling stage of the worst!! Have you thought of buying a fenced playpen? If you can, maybe bring your laptop in there with you and work while your little one plays? Also yes! Carrying them on your back works like a charm. Even if they don’t sleep right away you can get lot done while you’re carrying them. Let me know if you need any more tips. I’m happy to help! 🤍

    I am so glad I found this video. My daughter is 2 and I have been working at home since she was 3 months old. I have a similar story in that I was so focused that I forgot to change my daughter. I felt so guilty. Recently she has been more fussy and I know that its because I have been in transition looking for a new job and working on a side hustle. The biggest thing I got from your video was it won't be easy but it doesn't have to be hard. We have a set meal and nap time. But I really need to work on making time to give her fully attention.

    That's brilliant! Doing chores while you "toddler-wear" to put him down to sleep. Do you find that he sleeps better when his feet are tucked in like that? I have a baby carrier but my babies feet stick out of it.

      I got Troy on a sleep schedule by tying him on my back. 12:30 works best for me. I’d say pick a time and stick with it. Every around that time you put them down. If tying them on your back is inconvenient, I would recommend the Boba Wrap on Amazon. Let me know how it goes!
