I am the co-founder & CEO of Work It, Mom! This is my first stint as a full-time entrepreneur and it's the most thrilling and scary thing I've ever done.
Before launching Work It, Mom! I slaved away in the dark world of venture capital.

I'm a professional voice talent and mom to two fantastic girls. I run my own tiny company from home and find that juggling work at home and the kids, let alone the hubby and the house is a challenge every day. I'm also a yoga instructor which helps me get out of the house and clear my mind. I love everything I do (mom, work, wife, etc.) but am in a constant struggle for balance.

Post college? Nanny, dj, voice talent. Officially 3. Wow, I thought it would have been more for me but I guess I've been doing this voice thing since college so...and I plan on sticking with it! Oh, wait, yoga instructor. But I don't look at that as a job. Drat, Nat, why do you have me thinking so early in the morning (though it's like 9:30)?!!?

I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee/tea and I needed some company  -- but ok, I think yoga counts.

Well, I'm here for you! My sitters have graduated and left town and now I have to touch the kids and not get much work done. We just had haircuts then did nails. And now everyone is dressed like a princess and we're going to head to the grocery store. I'm starting to think this counts as a job since college, too ;). I must admit that I'm having a blast.

I am the very proud mother of a too-cute-for-words one year old son! My job has me commuting an hour each way, but I do work from home one day a week and get to see hubby and son as soon as they get home! My hubby takes our son to/from the onsite daycare where he works and is able to spend an hour or two bonding (i.e. wrestling)before i get home! :)
