You are Head of Ops and cannot afford childcare?
There are some great schemes that agencies offer - we have one called the Workplace Nursery Scheme through Enjoy Benefits which lets you pay for nursery with pre-tax money. Saves a huge amount.
But if you haven’t already figured this out - it’s impossible to do your job while also looking after your baby. I’m sorry to say. Too many distractions. I tried for a couple months during covid and got so burnt out - mentally and physically exhausted.
Get nursery or a nanny share or something.
Good luck!

I’ve got a nanny, but she’s in for 7 hours, which makes my commutes impossible… and the job is just to demanding to be done with in that space of time. Thanks for the tips though 🙏🏻

Open health!
