With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, I thought it would be fitting to research some companies that go above and beyond when offering parental perks for moms. From paid time off, to on-site baby sitting, to mailing home breast milk when you’re on a business trip, these companies understand that a happy mom is a productive mom. Hope this info helps if you’re looking for a new job.

Adobe

Adobe offers up to 26 weeks of paid maternity leave and 16 weeks of paid paternity leave.

The company also provides a generous adoption assistance program, access to childcare resources, and flexible work options.

Adobe’s comprehensive parental perks ensure that parents have the support they need to balance their work and family responsibilities.

PRO TIP: STAGGER YOUR TIME OFF

Adobe allows parents to split up their leave instead of taking it all at once. You can plan your time off to align with your partner’s leave, ensuring one of you is always home for an extended period.

If you’ve accrued vacation or personal days, you can add them to your parental leave to extend your time off beyond the standard 26 or 16 weeks.

Also, if you’re thinking about growing your family, Adobe offers up to $25,000 in fertility treatment coverage and adoption assistance, making it a great employer for family planning.

Amazon

Via their new “Leave Share” program, Amazon gives new moms 20 weeks maternity leave and dads get 6 weeks.

But the best part is employees can share their 20 weeks with their un-wed partner.

You can actually share up to 6 weeks with them, in which case you’d get 14 and they’d get 6.

When parents come back to work they can also take advantage of their “Ramp Back” program which eases you back over an 8 week period.

You’ll also be able to take advantage of reduced schedule to ease back into work life as well as an employee discount.

PRO TIP: AMAZON LET’S YOU COME BACK SLOWLY

After parental leave, Amazon offers a Ramp-Back Program, allowing new parents to work a gradual schedule for up to 8 weeks.

This can be a game-changer for easing into childcare arrangements or adjusting to a new routine without jumping straight into full-time hours.

Apple

Moms working for Apple not only get 14 weeks after birth, but 4 weeks before the due date to get ready.

Dads get a respectable 6 week paid leave. Not ready to have children? No worries as Apple also offers free egg-freezing services.

Another little-known perk is that Apple employees can roll over unused vacation days—consider saving them to extend your leave or use them for unexpected childcare needs later.

Other family-friendly perks for Apple employees include:

Gradual Return-to-Work Program – New parents can return on a flexible schedule.

Fertility & Adoption Assistance – Financial support for fertility treatments and adoption.

Onsite Wellness Centers – Some locations offer health services for employees and their families.

PRO TIP: BACKUP CHILD CARE PERK

Apple provides employees with access to subsidized backup child care services when regular care arrangements fall through.

This benefit ensures that when your regular child care arrangements are unavailable—due to unforeseen circumstances like caregiver illness or sudden closures—you have a reliable alternative to depend on

Etsy

Etsy offers 26 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents, regardless of gender.

Etsy also provides flexible work schedules, remote work options, and a variety of resources for new parents.

Facebook (Meta)

The Zuckster gives out a very liberal 4 months of paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave (regardless of gender or birthing method).

Facebook also hands out $4,000 in no-strings attached “baby cash” along with free egg-freezing services.

To top it off, their Menlo Park HQ has breast-feeding rooms set aside for lactating moms.

PRO TIP: CHILD CARE HELP

Meta also offers a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), allowing employees to set aside up to $5,000 per year in pre-tax dollars for eligible child care expenses. This includes costs such as daycare, preschool, and after-school programs.

Additionally, Meta provides a Back-Up Child Care Program through Bright Horizons, offering employees up to 15 days of backup child care annually.

Genentech

Genentech offers up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for both mothers and fathers.

The company also provides adoption assistance, fertility benefits, and on-site childcare at some locations.

Google

Google is renowned for its employee benefits, and its parental perks are no exception.

The company offers up to 18 weeks of paid maternity leave and 12 weeks of paid paternity leave.

Additionally, Google provides on-site childcare, backup childcare services, and generous parental support groups, making it easier for parents to balance their professional and personal lives.

IKEA

The Swedish-based furniture company also offers 4 months of paid leave for moms, dads, and parents who adopt.

The most note-worthy piece is that this paid leave applies to both hourly and salaried IKEA employees.

Johnson & Johnson

Moms get 17 weeks leave and dads get 9 when employed for Johnson & Johnson.

They can also take advantage of grocery and laundry pickup services.

Heck, I might get a job with J&J just for the grocery service, that’s so awesome.

But the goodness doesn’t stop there. J&J will also ship breast milk home, on their dime, when you’re on a business trip.

Netflix

Both hourly and salaried Netflix employees can take advantage of their unlimited parental paid leave.

Then when you come back to work, you can choose either part-time or full-time work. Plus, you can go back out on leave if you need to.

Throw this liberal parental perks policy on top of their unlimited vacation policy and Netflix seems to be a great place to work.

Patagonia

Patagonia offers a revolutionary on-site child care program as well as 16 weeks of paid leave for new mothers, 12 weeks for fathers and adoptive moms.

They actually claim that their expensive to run on-site child care program actually makes them money in terms of employee happiness and productivity.

The outdoor clothing outfitter will even send babysitters with you when you embark on a business trip.

Spotify

The music-streaming service known as Spotify offers a strong 6-month paid leave for both moms and dads.

You’re also given the cool option of splitting up your 6 months into whatever time periods work for your family.

Upon your return, you’re given the option of working from home, as well as working a reduced schedule.

Starbucks

Starbucks recently introduced a new parental perks package.

The new and improved policy offers ANY new parent, including non-birth parents, 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, up from 6 weeks.

To be eligible you must work a minimum of 20 hours per week on average.

PRO TIP: STARBUCKS OFFERS $25K FOR FERTILITY TREATMENTS

Starbucks provides up to $25,000 for fertility treatments, making it a standout employer for those trying to conceive.

They also cover adoption costs up to $10,000, making them an excellent choice for growing families.
