"During the pandemic, we got lucky. Our kiddos were only home for about two months and then they were able to go back to daycare. It took being flexible, rolling with the punches, and just figuring out how to make it work every single day. I'm in awe of parents that have had to do it for six months to a year—kids certainly demand a lot of attention. But looking back, it was great for the two of them to have that time together, to get to know each other and play. And as parents, we got to spend so much time with them, watching them grow up. They're at an age where every single day they're getting bigger and changing. As far as work goes, it was just being as flexible as possible and having coworkers that understand if you need to jump off a call because kids are crying or drawing on the walls. It's a workplace that cares a lot about flexibility, compassion, and understanding." — Jon Woods, Vice President & Co-founder at CenterTable
