Nancy, that sounds so perfect. I think it’s everyone’s ideal to be allowed to work around their children’s schedule, and it looks like you’re able to do that. It’s great that your employer allows you to do that, no matter the size of the business and whether or not it’s formally written anywhere. I might hit you up to see where you work and if there’s an opening once I’m ready to go back to work 😉

It’s not an official benefit written up in a policy manual (it’s a small company, so it’s easy enough for him to do it this way), but as a parent working for him, it has been a God-send to have so much flexibility with my work hours. It has allowed me and my husband to put our son in a better preschool that is not so convenient because I don’t have to worry about being at work at a certain time and it has enabled us to move our daughter into the “local” French Immersion school. (It’s not that local. In fact, it’s completely out of our area, and it’s only half day SK, so I am using the benefit offered by my employer to stay at home with my daughter in the morning and go to the office in the afternoon without taking a chunk out of my wallet. I just work around my daughter’s schooling.)
