How I Work from Home as a Mom of Small Children
Working from home with small children can be a challenge! It can be hard to keep the balance between giving them the time and attention they need and accomplishing other things that need to be done.
To make it work for me, I work only early in the morning before the kids are up and during their nap time. The older ones don't always need a real nap, but they have quiet time every day.
Even though I was working while they were in bed, it was still a challenge sometimes because I needed to get up and keep checking on them. There was lots of coloring on the walls, eating of hidden candy stashes, throwing tangerines at the walls (yes, really!), and general commotion that was waking up their baby sister. It's hard to focus on getting anything done when there are interruptions the entire time!
Enter the video monitor! I can get them down for naps or quiet time, then sit down to work while keeping an eye on everybody without getting up from my computer.
The Levana Stella monitor that I am using comes with two cameras, so I was able to put one in both the boys' room and the girls' room.
If something is going on, I don't have to get up; I can simply press the “talk” button on the monitor and remind them that they need to calm down.
I love being able to do more while knowing the baby is safe from tangerine-throwing kids!
