Everyone'sbusiness.

I don't call childcare a mother's problem. Parents need it to work. Businesses need it to keep good people. Kids need a strong start. It's everyone's business.

rule I made up:

Childcare is a mother's problem.

Ripped. The truth now:

Childcare is everyone's business.

Employers, lawmakers, neighbors and partners all have a part.

what I believe

1

Mothers set the agenda.

I listen to the mothers who live it. They know what needs to change first.

2

Brands can do more.

A childcare stipend, paid leave, flexible hours. Real commitments, not just a share.

3

A country for mothers.

I want a country where care works. It starts with childcare.
