My son-in-law works full-time, so when my daughter returned to work after her maternity leave, they needed help looking after their 6-month-old son. They arranged for part-time childcare in their neighborhood, and I offered to commute from New Jersey to their home in Brooklyn once a week to watch him. Since my jobs are flexible and I don’t live too far away, I’m able to manage my own career while helping my daughter return to hers and save money on childcare.
