You’ve got this.
And we’ve got you.

Mother Cover is a fractional and interim agency specializing in providing seamless coverage for temporary leaves from work. While our primary focus is supporting parents during parental leave—allowing you to fully embrace this special time without worrying about your projects, team, or career—we also extend our services to other types of leave, including caregiving, medical, and mental health absences. Our mission is to ensure both employees and organizations are supported during these transitions.

Filling temporary leaves can be a challenge. Hiring a qualified replacement for a short-term engagement is often difficult, leaving the workload to be divided among team members. This can lead to burnout, turnover, and missed goals.

For longer leaves (12 months or more), companies often hire permanent replacements, only to scramble to find a role for the new hire once the leave ends—or worse, the returning employee is reassigned to a new role. This uncertainty makes taking leave even more stressful. You’re not only worried about your current projects and your team’s performance but also about the unknowns of what you’ll return to.

At Mother Cover, we’re here to change that. Our experienced leaders seamlessly step into temporary roles, ensuring your projects stay on track, your team remains supported, and your career momentum isn’t compromised.

Taking leave doesn’t have to derail your career.
Supporting leave doesn’t have to burden your company.

Let us help you bridge the gap.

Not at all. We proudly serve moms, dads, parents, caregivers, and individuals of all titles and backgrounds. The name Mother Cover stems from our personal journey of balancing a demanding career with the transition into motherhood. While it’s a meaningful part of our origin story, our mission goes far beyond that—to support as many people as possible who are navigating their careers alongside life’s important moments.

While parental leave is a common and significant life event that can create challenges for both careers and teams, it’s not the only reason someone might need to step away from work. Many people today are part of the "sandwich generation," balancing the responsibilities of caring for children and aging parents or loved ones. Others may need to take medical or mental health leave. Whatever the reason, our goal is to provide the support you need to navigate these transitions smoothly.

Depending on your organization’s needs, a full-time replacement may not always be necessary. While we can step in full-time if needed, we also offer fractional coverage to ensure your critical projects and responsibilities are managed with confidence.

Parental and other leaves can also present valuable growth opportunities for internal employees to step up and challenge themselves, provided they aren’t overextended and have the right support. We offer experienced coaching, guidance, and leadership to help team members succeed in their expanded roles, ensuring they feel confident and supported throughout the process.

Currently, our focus is on senior leaders at B2B and tech companies, particularly those at the director level and above. These leaders often balance their own responsibilities while supporting and guiding their teams, making their absence especially impactful.

That said, we’re growing quickly! If your needs don’t fit this specific category, we still encourage you to reach out. We may be able to help directly or connect you with someone in our network who can.

We bring the advantage of long, industry-agnostic careers, with experience spanning martech, sales tech, supply chain and logistics, retail, telecom, and higher education. This diverse background has not only provided us with a wealth of knowledge across various industries but also sharpened our ability to quickly ramp up in even the most complex environments.

Additionally, we don’t come in blind. We use a structured process that includes gathering critical information about your company and industry through a detailed template. This information is collected from you, your team, and key stakeholders during the transition process, ensuring we’re well-prepared to hit the ground running.

Where our capacity allows, we do take on traditional consulting and fractional work either on an ongoing or project basis. Check out our fractional services for more details.
