This August at Mo’s Crib, we’re hosting our Women’s Month Series, a platform dedicated to spotlighting women as they share insights on some of the most pressing challenges faced in the workplace. Today, we’re focusing on the theme of finding balance between work, children, and self-care, featuring stories from our hardworking mothers, Tebogo Waleng and Fezile Sibuyi.
For many working parents, balancing deadlines, family responsibilities, and personal time often feels like walking a tightrope. At Mo’s Crib, we celebrate the women on our team who have mastered this delicate art, showing us that harmony between work, children, and self is not only possible, it can be inspiring.
Fezile, a mother of three, believes that time management is everything. She has carefully structured her days to create meaningful space for her work, her children, and herself. The reasonable working hours at Mo’s Crib allow her to fully focus during the day and still return home with time to engage with her kids, ensuring that both her professional and personal lives flourish.
Tebogo a mother of two, emphasizing the difference that small adjustments can make. Knocking off at 16h00 instead of 17h00 gives her the flexibility to take her children to extracurricular activities and enjoy quality family moments. Not working weekends allows her to recharge, while Mo’s Crib’s Wellness Fridays provide the perfect opportunity to plan short getaways or personal activities that nurture both her and her children. For Tebogo, these small but meaningful supports make balancing work and family not only manageable but truly enjoyable.
At Mo’s Crib, we understand that when our employees thrive personally, they thrive professionally. Creating a supportive work environment, offering flexibility, and encouraging self-care are all part of our commitment to helping our team achieve harmony. By valuing personal time as much as work, we foster a culture where growth, creativity, and wellbeing go hand in hand.
For parents juggling multiple roles, the challenge is real. But as Fezile and Tebogo demonstrate, intentional planning, clear boundaries, and a supportive workplace make all the difference. Their experiences remind us that balance isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating meaningful moments for work, family, and self, every single day.
At Mo’s Crib, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women who show us that harmony is achievable, inspiring us all to thrive both at work and at home. We’ll be sharing more of these powerful stories on our blog—stay connected!
