These days, parents who work are so prevalent. Seventy percent of working
mothers in the US have children under the age of 18. Melody Blackwell is
included in that statistic.
Melody i
s employed in Tennessee as a chiropractic assistant. She took three months off from work after the birth of her daughter, Nora-Jo. Now that Nora-Jo is five months old, Melody is back at work.
s employed in Tennessee as a chiropractic assistant. She took three months off from work after the birth of her daughter, Nora-Jo. Now that Nora-Jo is five months old, Melody is back at work.
Her supervisor lets her bring Nora-Jo to work with her on Mondays. Melody
can work from home the most of the time, but she doesn't hesitate to come in
if one of her coworkers needs assistance.
Melody informs Love What Matters that Nora-Jo merely works beside her as
they sit at the front. She'll either hold her if she nods off or put her in
a carrier so she can get her rest.Melody benefits greatly from this in two
ways. It lowers the cost of child care expenses and allows her to nurse her
child at her own comfort level without requiring any assistance.
Dr. Elizabeth Baker, Melody's supervisor, is quite complimentary of her
multitasking skills. She has seen that she can hold Nora-Jo, take notes, and
answer calls without any problems.
Dr. Bakers was so moved by this that she quickly took a picture and posted
it on Facebook. "She makes it look easy" is how she captioned her post.
While some mothers were rather open to it, others weren't. A few felt
envious and wished they too had a supervisor as good as Dr. Baker.
