Parents Who Found Freedom in Family Coworking
Real-life testimonials or interviews with parents who use family coworking spaces.
Balancing parenthood and a career often feels like walking a tightrope. For many mothers and fathers, working from home with small children around is both a blessing and a never-ending challenge. That’s where family coworking steps in—not just as a physical space, but as a lifeline.
We spoke to a few parents who have embraced this model, and their stories shed light on what family coworking truly offers beyond the obvious convenience.
Clara, Freelance Graphic Designer (Granada)
“Before discovering CoFamily Coworking, I was juggling my laptop on the kitchen table while my two-year-old demanded snacks every ten minutes. I was constantly distracted, and my work suffered. Now, I drop her off just a room away in the co-baby area, and I finally have four focused hours a day. I feel like a professional again—and a better mom too.”
Miguel, Remote Software Developer (Tenerife)
“I used to think coworking spaces were only for startups. But when I found Proyecta Cowork, which included childcare, everything changed. I get to work in peace while knowing my son is nearby and safe. What’s more, I’ve met other parents in the same boat. We even started a little support group for work-from-home dads.”
Laura & Alex, Entrepreneur Couple (Málaga)
“We run an online business together, and working from home with twins was impossible. We considered hiring a nanny, but it didn’t feel right. When we found Concilia Working, it felt like someone had read our minds. Now we both have desks, the kids play just a few steps away, and we finally separate home and work life. It’s saved our business and our sanity.”
Sofia, Translator & Single Mom (Barcelona)
“I don’t have grandparents or family nearby to help with childcare. Coworking with a co-baby space has given me back my independence. I can meet deadlines, attend online meetings, and earn money—without relying on anyone. It’s empowering.”
Why These Stories Matter
Each of these parents had their own reasons for choosing a family coworking space, but the common thread is clear: freedom, focus, and community. For parents, it’s not just about having a desk—it’s about having the right support at the right time.
As this model grows, it’s crucial to listen to these voices from the ground. They remind us that when we design spaces with real-life needs in mind, we don’t just help people work—we help them live better.
