<\/a><\/p>\nIn the majority of cases, bosses are understanding about family needs. While they might not be able to give you the time off, the chances are they\u2019ll at least allow you to work remotely. The issue there, of course, is that you\u2019ll have no choice but to juggle a million things at once<\/a>. As well as providing much-needed care, you\u2019ll have to keep your workday afloat. And, that\u2019s no easy task. Lucky for you, there are a few ways you can ensure you get this right. Let\u2019s look at what they are. Obviously, you\u2019re going to need to check on your little one through the day. But, you also need to focus on your jobs. So, find a way to keep your child happy (if that\u2019s at all possible) and occupied while you work. This could mean putting on their favorite film or letting them play with your phone. You might even want to buy them a book they can get stuck into. Either way, knowing they\u2019re occupied can go some way towards helping you get your head down.<\/p>\n Make use of tech to stay in touch<\/b><\/p>\n Though you\u2019re working from home, it\u2019s essential you stay in touch with the office. This helps you keep on top of incoming tasks, as well as putting your boss\u2019 mind at ease. So, be sure to make yourself available at all times using whichever tech your office relies on. That may mean logging on to programs like Skype or Google hangouts and messaging colleagues often. Or, if your company use landline text messaging<\/a> services like those offered by Text Better, you\u2019ll need to make use of these. Send email text messages on a regular basis so your boss knows your progress. However you do it, you need to ensure you prove that you\u2019re trustworthy here. Otherwise, you\u2019re sure to struggle next time sickness strikes.
