Why balancing work and kids feels impossible

You love your work.
You love your child.
And yet the world expects you to separate yourself from your baby for 8–9 hours a day if you want to stay in the game.

The result?
You miss the closeness, the precious moments, the milestones, the early years you’ll never get back.
But NOT working comes with its own price:
career stagnation, lost income, pension gaps, and the fear of falling behind permanently.

The truth is: you’re not the problem.
You’re simply missing a space where you can work AND stay connected to your child at the same time

If I focus on my career, I miss my child. If I stay close to my child, I fall behind at work.

Meet NEST — CoWork & Play

Your coworking and community space in Hamburg Uhlenhorst, designed for parents with babies & toddlers (0–5).

Founded by two moms while literally working from playground benches, nap-trapped with laptops, and whispering voice notes over sleeping babies. NEST was built to solve the problem parents actually live.

At NEST you get:
✨ A quiet workspace
✨ Professional Montessori-inspired childcare just a few steps away
✨ A supportive community of likeminded parents
✨ A family café, social events and classes tailored to you and your little ones

Here, you can work with focus and still stay close to your child, so everyone thrives.
