Every April, we pause to recognize the unsung heroes of military life: the children. These kiddos face frequent moves, long separations from parents, and the daily uncertainties that come with having a parent in uniform. Their resilience, adaptability, and strength deserve more than just a moment, they deserve a movement.

At Squared Away, this month holds deep meaning. Many of our assistants are not just military spouses, they’re military parents. And while they hold down the home front and support high-performing clients around the globe, their children are adapting, growing, and thriving in an ever-changing world.

How Does This Impact Squared Away?

Squared Away was built by and for military families. I created this company not just to empower military spouses with meaningful remote work but to support the family unit as a whole.

When a military spouse has flexible, purpose-driven work:

  • Their children see resilience and leadership modeled daily

  • Families experience financial stability in the face of constant relocation (junior enlisted often times are relying on food banks)

  • Kids grow up witnessing the value of service both at home and in the workforce

Voices from the Field

“My daughter used to ask why we always had to move. Now, she tells her friends that her mom helps CEOs while working from home. She’s proud of me and that pride has changed everything.”
— A Squared Away Assistant, Air Force Spouse

“Having a flexible role at Squared Away means I can show up for both my clients and my kids. I can be at school drop-off and still help a company founder scale their vision.”
— SA Assistant, Army Spouse
