Summary

Evie Squires is the Founder of 'Mother of All Jobs'. She works with a wide range of clients, from purpose-driven start-ups to household names, connecting them with brilliant parents who are looking for flexible and fulfilling careers. Alongside Evie's agency and job board, she has built a community and created resources that empower parents to navigate work and family life with confidence.
