10 Life Hacks for Busy Parents
You can't do it all
6. Hire help
No parent is an island and having a team at your beck and call only helps with world domination. Find occasional help through Neighborly, hire a weekly or monthly house-cleaning service and schedule walks for Fido. Perhaps use your favorite parenting listserv or Facebook parenting group to help you find the best help. Consider swapping dog-walking duties with your neighbor or hire your neighbor's kid to help out.
7. Find back-up childcare
Sickness always arrives at the worst time. You and your partner might have busy weeks with major presentations and then your little one gets the sniffles or your nanny calls in sick. When you just can’t take time away from work, having great back-up childcare is necessary. Services like Bright Horizons and Spilt Milk Nannies can be a lifesaver.
