The juggle is real.

According to the latest figures, the majority of workers in Ireland work from home at least part of the week. But going it alone is wearing parents down and the way we do business hasn’t caught up.

Now an online community is offering support to working parents whose office is their kitchen table and whose lunch break is collection time.

Parene is hosting a Babycino Social in Cork on Wednesday, May 29th at 10am in Culture City Co-Working, 2 Connell St, Lapp’s Quay. There’ll be coffee for grown-ups and a play area with toys set up for the kiddos.

“We know the struggle of the juggle here at Parene. We want to attend the fancy networking sessions too but we also need childcare.” the group announced.

“Introducing Babycino Social: Ireland’s only child-friendly networking for parents.”

The event will offer working parents a chance to meet other moms and dads, share their journey and hear from experts, including English language teacher, dyslexia tutor, and accredited Neurolanguage Coach Anna Machuro.

Anna will be sharing brain-friendly strategies and multisensory techniques to help with social and behavioural challenges and all event attendees will get her workbook to take home.

Tickets for Babycino Social are €5 for members and €20 for non-members here.
