I remember the moment clearly. I was six months pregnant with my daughter, standing in my kitchen at 10 PM, still in my work clothes. My 3-year-old’s half-eaten dinner sat on the counter, while my 6-year-old’s homework remained unfinished. The weight of my growing belly reminded me that in just a few months, life would become even more complex.
The guilt was crushing.
With my second child, I’d powered through – taking only a 5-day maternity leave, straight back to running my business and helping other busy families find quality nannies and household managers. I wore it like a badge of honor: ‘Look at me, I can do it all!’ But now, expecting my third child and leading a growing team, I finally admitted to myself what I’d known deep down: Something had to change.
I thought about my second pregnancy, how I’d rushed back to work, trying to prove I could handle everything. No rest, no recovery, no precious bonding time. Just endless juggling of client calls, trying to give my boys the attention they deserved, and household chaos. I’d missed so many moments, always half-present, half-somewhere else.
That night, standing in my kitchen, my third child kicking inside me, I made a decision: This time would be different.
I realized that being a ‘supermom’ wasn’t about doing everything myself – it was about being present for the moments that mattered most. It was about creating a support system that allowed me to be the mother, business owner, and wife I wanted to be.
That’s when I decided it was okay to ask for help. I hired a wonderful full-time nanny and household assistant, and it changed everything:
- The mountain of laundry that had been my evening companion? Handled.
- The grocery shopping and meal planning that consumed my Sundays? Done.
- The constant mental load of remembering who needed what, when? Shared.
Most importantly, it gave me the freedom to actually prepare for our daughter’s arrival. To sit and read with my boys without watching the clock and worrying about what I should be doing. To focus on The Nanny Joynt Team without the constant guilt of household tasks piling up.
When my daughter arrived, the difference was night and day from my previous experience. Instead of rushing back to work and managing my home, I could focus on healing, bonding, and was also able to spend precious time with my boys in this new chapter of our lives.
This personal experience changed more than just my family life – it became the foundation of my life’s work. Today, as I help other families through The Nanny Joynt find their perfect nanny and household support, I see myself in so many of the parents I get to speak with. I understand the hesitation, the fear of the cost, the guilt, and most importantly, the transformative power of asking for help. I can promise you it is worth it in every single way!!
Your time, your health, and your family’s precious moments matter. Imagine:
- Actually enjoying your pregnancy instead of pushing through exhaustion
- Having time to bond with your newborn without worrying about household chaos
- Being fully present with your older children during this transition
- Leading your business or career with clarity and focus, and letting go of all that guilt
