How do you balance motherhood and your career?
"One of our core values is signaling, I really value being super transparent and establishing boundaries of when I need to focus on being a mom vs when I am available to be all in at work. I openly share with my teams and peers when mom duty calls and make my calendar available for all to see."
Jennifer Mateja, Internal Operations Specialist
How does SpotHero create space in your life?
"The flexible work model that SpotHero has allows me to create space for life. I value being able to contribute both at work and in my own personal life. I have been in positions where I had to downplay my personal life. At SpotHero there's an unspoken understanding that family, friends, hobbies, etc are important to have time for. In turn, I think employee morale is benefitted as well as employee performance."

"I think the culture that SpotHero has is what is so great about working for SpotHero and sets it apart from other companies. Everyone I have met has always been kind and supportive. There are so many talented individuals that are willing to help and have no egos involved. SpotHero really has cultivated a culture that is inclusive and embracing. There is something for everyone, whatever peaks a person's interest, parenthood, pets, tech, etc., we have it."

How has SpotHero supported your professional life and personal life?
"My boss, Colin, has been instrumental in ensuring I can be the best employee and mom. I am never in a position where I have to choose between work and my personal life. My daughter goes to therapy four times a week and it is not easy. However, because of my work schedule and the understanding of my boss, I am able to be there for her. In turn, I make sure that I am a valued asset at work by doing my work, both efficiently and accurately. If there is something that needs a quick turnaround I always volunteer. I am happy to pay it back to an organization that allows me to be present when I need to."
How do you balance motherhood and your career?
"I balance motherhood and my career through time management. I have the same 24 hours that everyone else has. In those 24 hours, I wear many hats (employee, wife, sister, etc), but my favorite is mom. Eight of the hours encompass work, and I am lucky to have found a job where I feel valued, seen, and heard. I also know that I can mentally clock out to make room for my family every day. I make sure I carve out time every day to read and play with my daughter. Watching her giggle, kissing her boo-boos, doing tea parties, and watching her grow from baby to toddler; makes the juggling act of motherhood and career worth it."
Melissa Siskin , Tech Talent Partner
How does SpotHero create space in your life?
"I couldn't be more grateful to work at SpotHero. I feel like every single person enables me to truly live out all my dreams professionally AND personally. As a mom to two little kids, my dream was always to be able to pick up my kids from school every day on time with no aftercare. SpotHero enables me to not have to hire a nanny but pick up my kids on my own, take them to the park after, and create those memories. I am able to get my work done and hit my professional goals while also being present with my kids!"
What is unique about working at SpotHero?
"SpotHero is a place where you can be authentically yourself. There is no need to pretend or hide parts of yourself or your life because the people here just accept you for all of who you are. As a part of the recruitment team at SpotHero, we look for people that can be additions to our team, not a fit. Each and every person really contributes to the incredible culture that is displayed at SpotHero which is unlike any other!"
How has SpotHero supported your professional life and personal life?
"Every day at SpotHero I feel supported in my professional life and my personal life. I am able to work on my professional goals through utilizing our learning budget where I am able to invest in my continued learning in talent acquisition. I get challenged on a daily basis to push my skillset to think outside the box and strategize best practices and ways to do things for the business. On the personal side, I am grateful for the unlimited paid time off that gives me the ability to have the flexibility that I need to take off when needed, whether that be for a mental health day, an unexpected sick day for one of my kids, a Jewish holiday that requires me not me to be able to work or actually go on a real vacation to make memories with my family!"
How do you balance motherhood and your career?
"I think for me it's always reminding myself my top priority is my family! I love my job and feel like it enables me the best mom I can be because it gives me an outlet to use my passions in a creative and impactful way. It's being able to let my team know that I have to sign off because my son has a doctor's appointment and feeling good that I can be the one to take him even though I have a career. Being able to show up for my daughter's class party because I have the flexibility to do so. For me, I love my job but my family always comes first and I remind myself of that every day. The work world can be a grind. The pressures of society can tell you that you need to be that top-level executive. For me, I just want to continue to do what I love which is connecting people to jobs that are meaningful and impactful and at the same time finding people for SpotHero that can add value to our business but always reminding myself that being a mom is my #1 priority."

How do you balance motherhood and your career?
"I'm still working this bit out, but something that has helped a ton is creating mental separation. As soon as my laptop closes, I leave work behind and focus on my family. Though it's not always easy to let go of a tough day, it's nothing a toothless grin can't solve."
