A note from our founder
Why I built MWM
Hi, I’m Kimberly—wife to Corey, mom to two boys, and the founder of Modern Working Moms.
Like so many moms, I wanted to contribute professionally while being present for my family. I saw how much experience and ability women had to offer, and how difficult it could be to find work that fit their responsibilities at home.
I built MWM to create more opportunities for those women and to help employers see the talent they might otherwise miss. A career pause, a school pickup, or a need for flexibility should be part of an honest conversation about work.
That purpose guides how we approach each profile, each employer conversation, and each opportunity: with attention to the person and the possibilities ahead.

Our purpose
Help moms move forward. Help employers find talent.
We connect experienced mothers with work opportunities and help employers think thoughtfully about the people, skills, and flexibility a role needs. That can mean remote, hybrid, or onsite work, with schedules and arrangements that vary by position.
Make the fit practical
A good match considers the work itself alongside pay, hours, location, availability, and the employer’s expectations.
Keep people involved
Technology helps organize the search. Personal conversations and thoughtful review help move it forward.
How we work
Personal support throughout the hiring conversation.
We work to understand what a mom can bring to a role and what an employer needs to succeed. Our process considers experience, interests, availability, and role requirements.
Understand the goals
Moms share their background and work preferences. Employers tell us about the role, schedule, compensation, and team.
Explore the fit
MWM reviews candidate information and uses conversations and prescreening to better understand readiness and alignment.
Support the next step
We help move suitable introductions and hiring conversations forward. Employers make their hiring decisions.
