With the joys of having a baby come new responsibilities, new sleep hours, and huge demands on my time. A typical employment schedule just doesn’t work for me, but Instacart does. Because I have my independence, my ever-changing schedule throughout my pregnancy and with my newborn child has never been a problem. I know it seems strange to hear people say that they don’t want typical employment, but shoppers and drivers need you to take us at our word: flexibility is the main perk of this job.
