What We Know: What if working parents could keep their babies close while they work?
What It Means: That’s the idea behind The Company Nanny, created by Springfield mother Lauren Southern.
The concept would let businesses offer on-site nanny services, giving parents time with their babies during breaks, including opportunities for breastfeeding mothers.
What’s Next: Southern says the idea grew out of her own experiences raising children while balancing family and work.
And for Southern, it’s about more than child care. It’s about giving parents something they can’t get back — those precious moments with their children, even during a busy workday.
