In response to feedback from working mothers registered on its site, the Mom Project, an online job-finding forum for mothers, is partnering with UrbanSitter, an online babysitting service, to provide free babysitting for women who are interviewing for a job. The goal is to facilitate the interview process for those attending job interviews obtained through the Mom Project.
Over 100,000 women on the site reported that, while they found potential jobs through the Mom Project, they were often unable to attend interviews due to challenges with finding a babysitter. The partnership offers $75 in UrbanSitter credit per job interview found through the Mom Project, as well as a first free month membership on the babysitting site.
Founded in 2016, the Mom Project is a platform to connect thousands of professional working mothers with multiple companies posting jobs on the website. The company hosts users from many major cities including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
“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 Allison Robinson, CEO of the Mom Project in a press statement. “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.”
