A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WORK FROM HOME MOM WITH A TODDLER

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!! ❤️

Thank you for being so real with us! Definitely subscribing to you… since I am also a single mom trying to provide for my child. I have been looking for remote jobs so I can stay at home with my child. But no luck since I don’t have experience or the equipment.. but this video was a motivation to keep going ♥️💯

[@KatlynKadie]

I pray you find something soon! When searching up jobs try searching up”operations associate”. I find that a lot of data entry jobs come up with the search.

[@dannie4983]

Thank you for this video. My baby is 9mos today and I've been STRUGGLING since he began crawling. This is so helpful. I'll definitely try babywearing him for nap time cause it's a fight to get him to nap.

[@KatlynKadie]

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! 🤍

[@TiaRenee]

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.

[@KatlynKadie]

It’s definitely not easy but one thing I can tell you is it gets easier. Especially once you have a routine! You got this mama! ❤️

[@la-shebawitter]

Thanks for the motivation girlie, where did you get Troys learning binder, that’ll be so helpful for my Lilly. New vid anytime soon?

[@ambrosia1917]

if you workout at home, you'd save a couple hours a day. 5-7 at the gym vs 30 mins in living room. Also what class did you get the binder with matching shapes? It looks fun and perfect for kindergarten prep

[@KatlynKadie]

I was just thinking about this the other day! The gym is nice and all but I can do the same workouts in my living room. It got it from Etsy, they have a whole bunch.

[@queenisha333]

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.

[@KatlynKadie]

Thank you! I don't think makes a difference. I believe its the body heat that he enjoys and that's what helps him sleep. :)

[@nadalynkhoxayo8230]

Good job momma! You’re doing so great. I’m currently working from home with my 6 month old😩 and as you mentioned how it was hard cause they start moving around more and needs more attention. I start to feel like I’m neglecting her when I’m working. Any tips or tricks on how to manage work and a 6-7 month old baby from your experience?

[@KatlynKadie]

Hey mama! ❤️ Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend sensory toys. They keep him very occupied. Let me know if you need recommendations. Do you have your baby on a nap schedule? I would also recommend working on the floor near your baby if you can. That worked for me when he was around that age. You got this mama!💪🏾❤️

[@nadalynkhoxayo8230]

@@KatlynKadie yes I would love some recommendations! I have some sensory toys and also she gets entertained with the most random items so i use those. She is actually not on a nap schedule. Her nap schedule is around the same time ALMOST everyday. Everyday is so different tho so that's the hard part. how did you get troy on a nap schedule? and thank you for the encouragement

[@KatlynKadie]

@@nadalynkhoxayo8230 No problem! I can definitely send you some recommendations for sensory toys! My IG is _katlyn_k, DM me so I can send you a couple suggestions! 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!

[@brianafenner8491]

thank you so much for this. I'm in this boat now...does your job track how much you're in the system

[@KatlynKadie]

Omg ofc! We got this. No not really. They are more focused on you being present for meetings.

[@brandincompany]

I am working twds transitioning to being a sahm and wfhm. May I ask what kind of work you do. My current position requires a lot of meetings and I can't have my toddler home (he is in daycare). Thank you for the video and response in advance.

[@KatlynKadie]

Hey Mama! I do HR/Data Entry. When doing job searches look up “operations”. A lot of these roles come with the ability to work from home. I hope this helps! 🤍

The 'Troy begins with T' binder...did you make that or buy it? Would love to do the same for my lo.
