08. Finding Childcare as a Mama Business Owner

In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, host Rebecca Schor shares her personal journey of finding childcare for her son while managing her business. Rebecca shares insights on various childcare options she’s tried—from in-home daycares to hiring a nanny, and even working from home full-time with her son. She also discusses the emotional hurdles she faced along the way. She also touches on the unique challenges that come with “daycare syndrome,” the constant cycle of sickness that has impacted her family during cold & flu season and why she needs more support with childcare during the winter months. Rebecca also addresses the pervasive 'mom guilt' many mothers experience and offers words of encouragement and advice for finding a supportive community. This episode is a candid look at the real-life struggles and triumphs of being a business-owning mother, filled with practical tips for navigating childcare and maintaining a successful business.
