Brella says it is the first to offer "truly flexible high-quality care". "While online marketplace models have attempted to streamline families' access to in-home care, and gyms and social clubs have dabbled in unlicensed onsite babysitting, no other provider has executed a successful model of truly flexible high-quality care," said Brella.

Harper’s Bazaar
But what sets The Jane Club apart is its socially conscience commitment to making a difference in the world, and in women’s lives, says co-founder Jess Zaino. The venture is about building an eco system, and that includes partnering with brands that align with The Jane Club’s mission to create a village that values and centers on the work women do: their careers, care taking, and community building.
Hollywood Reporter
”The Jane Club is demanding that motherhood is not seen as a branding tool, but rather a political weapon. We are demanding that women are not forced into motherhood, that they are not stigmatized if they choose not to be mothers and if they choose to be mothers, that their children are not seen as a liability or a line item.” - Founder Diane Raphael

Mother Magazine
Mom and entrepreneur Keltse Bilbao Olazar realized that finding a peaceful spot to work was only half the problem facing working parents. The other—what to do with those kids while you got down to business—seemed to be the one everyone was struggling to solve. Her response was Big and Tiny, a high-style co-working space in Santa Monica that has childcare built right in.
Goop
The doors to the kids’ area at this Westside spot—where they have a swing, a ball pit, and tons of those cool vintage-looking wooden toys—have a little window parents can peek through without disturbing playtime. A brilliant feature if your mind keeps wandering back to your little one while you’re trying to get work done in the dedicated coworking space in the back (outdoor garden and phone booth included). Drop by for a parents-welcome class, drop off while you run errands (Costco is a hop and a skip away), or post up to work for up to four hours a day while the staff keeps children as young as three months old happy.

The Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit space simplifying work and childcare needs for parents. It’s a one-stop shop for working parents interested in coworking, flexible, drop-in childcare for children 1-5 years old, career support and building community.
The Inc. offers three spaces:
Co-working (parents only)
Playschool (children only)
Cowork + coplay (parents and children)
The Inc. has two Seattle-area locations - its original, in Greenlake, and its newer location in West Seattle

Red Tricycle
The Women’s Business Incubator launched The Inc. Community Coworking + Playschool in February 2017 in Green Lake with the mission to foster a positive, child-friendly workplace culture that would inspire connection, confidence and growth for parents at any stage of their career development or entrepreneurial journey. Created by mothers, the coworking concept originated with pop-up working events where moms who were transitioning back to work could come together to work and bring their children along to be cared for by nannies.
The Seattle Collaborative Space Alliance
”What makes us unique is that access for a coworking spot and a Playschool spot is all packed into one price. Whatever you pay for the preschooler or toddler rooms also gives you access to the coworking room. The affordability piece is really important to us so we do our best to consider this when we set pricing. It’s a constant juggle as our model evolves but we want to be able to serve a range of parents.”
