  • One thing I see over and over with parents is just how much we're carrying.

  • The data backs this up.

  • Most parents spend nearly every waking hour focused on someone else.

  • So if you feel exhausted, stretched thin,

  • or like your brain never really shuts off, that makes complete sense.

  • I've seen how powerful it can be when families have more support.

  • When parents have trusted caregivers, the mental load lightens,

  • and they're actually able to be more present.

  • Not because they're doing more, but because they're not doing it all alone.

  • Care.com makes it easier to find trusted, background-checked caregivers,

  • whether that's support for a newborn, before or after school help, or even care for an aging parent.

  • You can search by experience, read reviews,

  • and find support in a way that feels safer and more intentional than social media or word of mouth alone.

  • And do you know that you can find activities, camps, and daycare on Care.com too?

  • For a limited time,

  • you can use the code GOOD35 to save 35% on acare.com premium membership

  • because when you have support,

  • you can show up as your best self for the people who need you.

  • I'm bored.

  • Mom, I'm so bored.
