Mundwiller said finding childcare has been challenging while in between jobs during the pandemic. "We don't have childcare yet, and it's because I'm staying home with (Mylo), but once I have a job, then we would have childcare. So when you're stuck in that transition period, and you don't have it, I think there's a lot of parents who are left out."
"It was a great experience. What a welcoming company culture," Mundwiller added in the video about the company.
Since going viral, she posted a follow-up video saying she was offered the position she had interviewed for.
