Because Rincon and her husband both have jobs, they've worked out a system to balance their work and family lives.
In the early days of the pandemic, Rincon's husband took the morning shift with the kids, while Rincon looked after them in the afternoon. That meant she scheduled all of her work meetings in the morning.
Now, the family has a caregiver to help out with the kids, she said. When Hudson and Bela are doing in-person school, the caregiver looks after the kids in the afternoon through early evening. When the kids are schooling from home, the caregiver helps out in the morning through early afternoon.
"Not everyone has this privilege and we don't take it for granted," Rincon said.
