Being a working mom isn’t easy. Finding childcare isn’t easy. But 38-year-old Maggie Mundwiller went next level by taking her toddler to an interview.
- Mundwiller was laid off from her job just six weeks after her son, Mylo, was born.
- Due to the pandemic, she struggled to find a new job, especially while also taking care of a newborn. She couldn’t afford the childcare due to being unemployed… and she couldn’t just go back to work due to the baby. There really was no winning for her.
- Mundwiller has been applying for jobs and recently interviewed for a position, even getting a last-minute call to go in for a second interview.
With no one to watch Mylo, she told the company she’d have to reschedule…and why. “I was just honest and let them know that I wasn’t able to have childcare, so I may need to schedule it for another time,” she explains. “Their response was, “We’re child friendly.” So mommy – and Mylo – turned up and she’s posted TikToks to prove it.
And yes, they offered her a gig…and YES, she took it! And now she’s sharing her journey online. “I knew people would relate to it,” Munwiller notes. “I just didn’t quite know how many. Now I think we’re probably (at) almost to eight-million views, which is insane and awesome.”
