A place where parents can “have it all.”
The concept behind SHIFT is unique. It's a platform for people who want to pursue their careers while also meeting their family obligations. SHIFT understands that parents need a flexible environment, and that's why the workspace is open 24/7. Members can work when they want, and they have access to high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable workstations, and private meeting rooms. The mindful design of the workspace promotes creativity, productivity, and collaboration among members.
Playroom
One of the most significant benefits of SHIFT is the playroom, which is staffed by professional babysitters who supervise children ages 18 months - 6 years in a safe and stimulating environment. Parents can work while their children play. The staff at the playroom makes sure that the children are always safe, engaged, and having fun. Morning and afternoon play sessions are 3 hours long, providing a flexible, part-time solution for members trying to balance the demands of working and parenting. At SHIFT, parents don't have to choose between work and family; they can have both.
Coworking
