How to Work From Home Without Guilt (Even With a Toddler Nearby)
Some mornings, it feels like I’m juggling fire while standing on Lego. The emails are stacking up. The toddler is melting down. And your nanny just walked in asking if the baby should nap early today. If you’ve ever tried to work from home with a young child in the house, even with a nanny, you’ll know: it’s not a dream of balanced bliss. It’s a delicate dance of interruptions, guilt, and trying to finish a sentence without someone yelling “Moooom!”
Here’s what I’ve learned as both an occupational therapist and a mom who’s lived this: Support at home is powerful – but only if you set it up well. Without clear boundaries and rhythms, you’ll end up pulled in both directions all day long. Half-working, half-parenting, and wholly exhausted.
If you’re constantly:
- Popping out of your office to “just check” when you hear a cry,
- Feeling distracted or guilty even though your nanny is capable,
- Trying to squeeze in work during nap times instead of reclaiming your zone of genius
You’re not alone. And it’s not a you-problem. It’s a system problem. That’s why I created something I wish I had earlier: The Ultimate Work-From-Home Guide for Moms with a Nanny.
It’s a simple, practical download packed with:
- Boundaries that actually stick (without the guilt)
- Communication tips to create a smooth flow with your nanny
- Daily structure ideas to boost productivity and connection
- Mindset shifts to help you stay present, even if your child cries
No fluff. Just real strategies that support your work, your child, and your peace of mind.

Because being a present parent doesn’t mean being constantly available. And working from home doesn’t have to feel like you’re being pulled in two directions all day.
