It can be challenging trying to be a parent and a student at the same time. Just by being a parent and a student, you have already proven that nothing is unreachable, and that you have great strength and determination. Below you will find a number of resources that may be helpful to you as you balance both these roles.

NYU Resources

Child Care Google Group

The Work Life office created an NYU Child Care Google Group as a dedicated space for NYU families and students to connect around caregiving needs. The group functions as a shared "bulletin board" where community members can post, search for, and respond to caregiving jobs and services. Parents can also coordinate learning pods and nanny shares in the Google group.

Students are also encouraged to respond to caregiving posts and advertise their own services, whether they are for babysitting, tutoring, or even recreational coaching via this group.

Lactation Policy and Rooms

In an effort to support the well-being and success of parenting students, NYU created a Lactation Policy for Students, which is designed specifically to support students who wish to express breast milk during the course of their academic studies. This policy addresses access to lactation rooms on campus and sets forth procedures for requesting reasonable adjustments to academic obligations.

Carefully app
Work Life is pleased to sponsor membership to the Carefully app for the NYU parenting community. Through Carefully, families can easily build a network of parents you know and trust to share care.
