What it's like to work at Parenting Now:

"I enjoy my job because I know what it is like to have support from someone during that phase of my life (raising a baby). I was a single mom in the Healthy Families program (then Healthy Start) when I was 20. I was scared and did not have a lot of support. Having a Family Support Specialist there to point out what I was doing right and help me make good choices for myself and my baby was instrumental."

"I really value the support I receive at Parenting Now from my coworkers. Their skills and passion for the work are an inspiration."

"Parenting Now has enabled me to pursue my career goals and be a mom to my two young kiddos. You won't find a more supportive team than the one at Parenting Now."
