THE EITHER/OR OF MOTHERHOOD

Does this sound familiar?
EITHER you become a stay at home mom OR you work outside of the home.

We get it! We've been there and we created Laptop + Littles to make sure other moms don't get stuck in the either/or option.
Our co-founder, Ariel started working from home as a Virtual Assistant in 2013 when her first born was about 6 months old. She had just finished her Bachelors, moved to a new city with her husband and started applying for local jobs. She felt increasingly more anxious around leaving her son at childcare in a town where she knew no one to go into an office. So she started googling things like "assistant that works virtually" and discovered the Virtual Assistant role.
Over her career, Ariel has worked as an Executive Assistant, Admin, Project Manager, Marketing Specialist, Partner Manager and worn so many other hats along the way. Her pay has ranged from working hourly at $20/hr to billing for monthly retainers at $50/hr to full-time salaries. All from home!

We’ll cover:

You landed the client—now what? This phase is all about seamlessly onboarding clients, setting expectations, and staying organized, so you can keep them happy (and your stress levels low).

"Love working with these two ladies and learning from them!! I mean seriously they helped me land a client on the first day of the course within 5 minutes. I would recommend laptop and littles 10000 times over. The course is perfect and geared towards moms. Plus they are both very responsive."
Megan
"I am amazed at this program! The course is very helpful, is broken down and is nice and neat! Most things are in depth and easy to follow/figure out. The program is not the best part tho, the hands on coaching from Tianna and Ariel is incredible! To be able to bond with them and learn from two driven and successful women is literally LIFE CHANGING! The Facebook group and community of women I have met in this course is also something I am thankful for!"
