Work from home with Toddler and Baby with a 9am-5pm job

I've been working from home full time as a Project Manager for a corporation for almost three years. After trial and error I’ve learned a few tricks with working from home with my toddler that I have implemented with my baby as well.
In today's video, join me as we go through a day in the life of a work-at-home mom with a toddler and baby. I'll share a few tips along the way.
Tip #12. Create a separate at-home task.
Tip #11. Do the most challenging task early. Take care of yourself
Tip 10. Organize your area
Tip #9. Create different working areas
Tip #8. Great dress for the day
Tip #7. Be upfront with your team. Trying to keep kids quiet during meetings can be stressful, but if they know you’ll have kids in the background and will be on mute can reduce the stress a little.
Tip #6. Stick to nap schedules.
Tip #5. Maximize downtime to play with the kids, return emails, and complete offline tasks.
Tip #4. Be kind to yourself, set attainable goals, and prioritize urgent matters.
Tip #3. Control screen time sometimes is okay.
Tip #2. Block out lunch times on your work calendar.
Tip #1. Schedule meetings during the kid's nap times, if possible.
Bonus tip: Get help from family/friends throughout the week. Whether it’s an hour a day - 3Xs a week, getting a sitter twice a week for a few hours, or going to a friend's house to work. Don’t be shy and accept help.
Remember, you can do it. It will all work out for the best.

I’m a single mom of 3 girls, just got my bachelors degree, live in a bad area and refuse to send my kids to daycare. You have given me so so much confidence to pull me and my kids out this situation using my career and still being there for my kids❤❤❤❤ I have asked god to show me the way. This gives me an idea of what I need to do.

[@JasmineRose]

Wow! This was so helpful. You’re the only one I’ve found on YT to have a toddler and baby while working from home and watching you do it makes it feel possible for me

[@jointhejeffersons]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching, you got this 💪🏾

[@raychelmcbride8965]

That is so nice that your work policy allows that. ❤ I work from home but I’ll be sending my kiddo to daycare unfortunately. I’m hoping to at least pick her up early so it’s not a long day at daycare.

[@jointhejeffersons]

Hi there 😊! We tried daycare for 1/2 day, and it didn’t work out for us. Our son was sick for a month 😬, and we still had to pay 😢. So we recently got support from a tutor/babysitter for him from 9-12 pm. She’s awesome. I still keep the baby ❤

[@raychelmcbride8965]

@@jointhejeffersons I’m definitely worried about her getting sick. We will see what happens. I’m looking for a caretaker that can come into our home but it’s so expensive.

[@jointhejeffersons]

@@raychelmcbride8965 Yes, it is. It took us time to find someone we trusted. We finally found someone through care.com. I hope it works for you soon 🙏🏾💕

You’re so inspiring! I’m only 5 weeks pregnant with my first child and so nervous about working from home with the baby until Dad comes home. My job is also flexible as well. ❤️ thank you for this.

[@Mz_Pinky]

Ughhhh sis why didn't I stumbled on you and your channel months ago. I was working a FT & PT job while being at home with my 2y and 9M. I've since quit the FT job as my employer wasn't that accommodating. I'm now realizing that I can't manage it all, so starting a new FT position where I'll be going into the office.

[@jointhejeffersons]

Aww you never know you may run into another WFH opportunity again. Wishing you the best at this new job 🫶🏽

[@JusWanaBSuccessful]

Just found your channel! Are you able to share what noise blocking headphone you’re using? I’m a wfh home and it’s just now becoming challenging with my 2 year old! It’s been great the but now he’s a little more attached and active! Great job on this video!

[@jointhejeffersons]

Hi there. 👋🏽thanks for watching and welcome to the family. And with your toddler I promise it will get better. This stage was the hardest for me as well but now he have a better understanding of when I’m working and when I’m not. What got me through it was scheduling his naps and sticking with it. The headphones I use - Hi there and welcome to the family. Sure thing. I use (Upgraded Version) Wireless Headset, Bluetooth Headset with Noise Cancelling Microphone, Best Headset with Mic Mute & USB Dongle for PC/Computer/Laptop/Cell Phones/Remote Work/Call Center amzn.to/42iiQXO

[@JusWanaBSuccessful]

@@jointhejeffersons thank you so much! So glad to be a part of the family! I will definitely purchase these & continue watching 💕

[@krystalo7900]

What kind of work do you do?? I recently tried to get a remote job and couldn’t even get past training due to my little one. It required virtual training. I need income and would love to work from home how you do while still being able to work out and take care of my little ones. Thank you in advance for responding!! And sharing this video! It’s what inspired me to try this job!

[@jointhejeffersons]

Hi there! Of course, I work as a project manager. Wfh with littles isn’t easy. I would share I just started using noise-blocking headphones, and it gets me through my meetings. I wish you the absolute best and hope you land something soon! And thanks for watching 🫶🏽

[@nlwww]

@@jointhejeffersons I’m thinking about working from home but I’m so nervous. I’ll have a 5 year old and 1 year old who needs a lot of attention. Loved your video and all the tips!

[@jointhejeffersons]

My pleasure @Nakia ☺️. I was nervous when I first started as well. Ease in if you can, and if you can start slow like part time even better 😄. Wishing you the best!!!

[@krystalo7900]

@Join the Jeffersons Thank you so much for responding!! Yea I had the Jabra 65 noise canceling and they working AMAZING! I have a 3 and 6 month old. Hopefully I can find something that allows me to work from home and not have to be on calls the whole time. If anyone knows of a job like this I’m all ears!

[@tinotendangara7543]

@@jointhejeffersons thank you for sharing which headphones do you use? Do they prevent clients on the phone from not hearing a baby ie when they make noise or cry

[@BarakatFolaranmi]

My baby is 10months and I’ll be starting my work from home as a customer service rep in some days It’s so overwhelming

[@jointhejeffersons]

Believe me I still have my moments. Trying to keep a baby quiet on calls is nearly impossible sometimes. Breastfeeding was my saving grace at times. believe me when I say as hard as it was, I look back now and can recall every milestone, every new word, every special moment. It does get easier I promise, it’s ok to feel how you feel. You got this 🫶🏽
