In March, we pledged to create job opportunities for 1,000,000 women around the world by 2020, and we are working hard to meet this goal. Last week, the Uber DFW team held a women’s appreciation breakfast to hear directly from our partners about their experience driving North Texans around the metroplex and to learn how to raise awareness about the flexible earning opportunities Uber provides.

With over 70% of mothers on the platform supporting two or more dependents at home, we have learned that flexibility is key to managing their professional, social, and family networks.

DFW female partners told us that they value being able to decide when and where they drive:

“Uber has impacted me as a mother by giving me the flexibility of my own schedule and because it is lucrative I am able to have a little extra here and there for my family, whether it be for needs or wants. That is a great feeling.” – Maria | Mother of 4

“The biggest benefit about driving for Uber is definitely the flexibility! Uber has allowed me to provide additional educational and recreational resources and opportunities to my family in less time than it would normally take working a traditional 9 to 5! ” – Sondra | Mother of 4

“Due to the flexibility of the schedule, I have been able to help my daughter to spend time with my grand baby while she is working.” – Anna | Mother of 2

“The biggest benefit about driving with Uber is the flexibility in knowing that I can sign in when I want to work and sign off when I am done for the day with no questions asked. As a mother, Uber has given me the flexibility I need with small school age children and still have the opportunity to work and make some money on my limited schedule.” – Cherelle | Mother of 2

This Mother’s Day, the Uber DFW team wants to thank these mothers for what they do, both on and off the road. We are proud to be your partner!
