Combining work and family life takes some planning, whether it is your first pregnancy or you already have children. By considering our maternity leave checklist, you can begin to formulate a plan for maternity leave and parental leave.
With the wide variety of options available, finding and securing care for your child may seem like an insurmountable task and one of those jobs that's easier to keep putting off for another day. However, if you know when you are returning to employment and/or when you would like care to start, it's best to start the search early.
Whether you have been out of the job market for a matter of months, or
if it has been years; whether you were the committed career woman who
now only wants to work part-time; whether you want to change careers-
there are some simple steps that you can follow to increase your
potential for success.
Heading back to paid work after taking time off to have a family can

women to have it all, that guilt will make life difficult for mums back
at work and that employers are unsympathetic to the demands of today's
parents. All of these things can be true, so take the time to plan your triumphant return to the workforce.
