I want to make your situation easier by sharing some golden gems of advice I have learned, observed and read about and truly make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How can I be a shift worker and a single parent? Prioritizing your own health first allows you to build and maintain a safe, loving and supportive environment for your children. Then it comes down to leaning on your social network of family and friends. Cost permitting, live-in nannies and even 24-hour daycare could help to find routine and balance. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While I am not a single mom, I am a shift working blogger and thought it was absolutely essential to provide a helpful guide for single shift working parents on our site. I am not going to pretend I know what it’s like because I can’t. So instead I asked a bunch of my single parent shift working friends, watched endless videos and read hours upon hours of help forums online to develop the best tips I could. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
