Mamie Brown, a lawyer in Fairbanks, Alaska, takes a selfie with her son, Edward.

She has found herself squeezed between work and caring for her two kids during the coronavirus pandemic."A typical day for me starts about 4:30 to 5:00. I actually naturally wake up.
When schools closed in the spring, the children's classes moved online. That forced Brown to rejigger her workday so she could help her children with schoolwork. Brown typically earns more than her husband, Wyatt Hurlbut. He manages rental properties and does repair work and renovations. But that's work he can't really do from home, and he gets paid more quickly than she does. For those reasons, Brown is now doing the bulk of the child care.
