The Mom Project Partners with UrbanSitter to Provide Moms Free Childcare to Attend Job Interviews

CHICAGO, Feb. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mom Project, the leading career destination for moms, today announced a new partnership with UrbanSitter, an online and mobile service that connects parents and babysitters through people they know, which will give moms access to free babysitting when they are interviewing for jobs.  This first-of-its-kind partnership joins two major national marketplaces, providing a novel solution and support system for mothers who are balancing looking for a new job with childcare responsibilities.

The partnership was borne out of feedback from the more than 100,000 women who are part of The Mom Project's marketplace, who explained that a lack of childcare created challenges preparing for, or even attending, job interviews.

"It was evident that job-seeking moms were in need of an innovative, trustworthy and often 'on short notice' childcare solution to focus fully on bringing their best selves to the interview process," said Mom Project CEO Allison Robinson. "This partnership underscores our commitment at The Mom Project to build a comprehensive support system for moms as they set, pursue and achieve their career goals. Our work with UrbanSitter is the first of many partnership initiatives we will bring to market to further support moms."

The new partnership will offer any mom who secures an employer interview through The Mom Project marketplace a $75 babysitting credit from UrbanSitter.  Every single member of The Mom Project will also receive a free first month of membership on UrbanSitter. 

"At UrbanSitter we strive to meet the diverse demands of childcare," said Lynn Perkins, CEO and co-founder of UrbanSitter. "As a company created by women for women, we are proud to work with The Mom Project to provide a crucial support network for thousands of mothers across the country who are pursuing their career goals in 2019."
