Surprise! You just found out that you got the dream work assignment you and your family have been excitedly waiting for. The timing is perfect. The kids are young enough, you and your spouse know it will be great for your professional future, it is only for a short time period, and it means you all get to have an adventure.

You’re elated.

You’re relieved.

But you’re also anxious, because it means a different city and state, and you’re moving with a kiddo (or more) under the age of five.

Before you know it, it’s time to pack up your family – including favorite stuffies and Bluey figurines strewn everywhere from their bedroom to the laundry room – and move someplace new to put down roots: new pre-schools, new playgrounds, and new pizza joints for your family’s weekly Thursday night tradition.

When you have children under the age of five, finding short-term housing isn’t as simple as finding a furnished apartment with an available lease. You need a place that works for your entire family and, ideally, keeps some sense of normalcy in the middle of a major transition.

PaySmart makes your big move easier with little ones. We give you single-source support, coordinated services, bundled invoicing, and 24/7 assistance so you can rest assured your family is in good hands.

A Move That Extends Past Four Walls

With young children, location matters.

You’ll need to find housing close to daycare so drop-offs are easy. A nearby park can provide a much-needed place to burn off some energy, while a library or community center can give your family opportunities to explore the new area, establish routines and get to know your neighbors.

Finding all of that in an unfamiliar city can take time you might not have.

PaySmart helps families navigate a new home for a short stay with those everyday needs in mind. Instead of simply finding the first available apartment, our expertise and white-glove service help you identify accommodations that fit your family’s needs and make the transition easier than washing away sidewalk chalk.

One Less Thing on Your To-Do List

Moving already comes with a seemingly endless list of tasks.

For  young parents, the list has very specific additions:

Daycare arrangements? Check.

Work schedules? Check.

Finding a babysitter? Check.

Packing and unpacking while keeping a toddler entertained? Check (well, sort of).

With all these added to your already-overflowing plate, hand over your relocation logistics to an expert to avoid being overwhelmed.

A single source of support, like PaySmart, can take some of that coordination off your hands. No need to save the contact information for the landlord, leasing agent, utility service provider, among others, because you do not have to manage them. You get one point of contact rather than requiring you to coordinate everything on your own. And when something unexpected happens (because that’s just part of life, right?), our 24/7 assistance means help is available at any time, not just during business hours.

Keeping the Paperwork Simple

Then there’s the financial side of moving that seems to sneak up out of nowhere. It’s hard to keep track of everything, from utility bills to rent invoicing to furniture installs, for someone who isn’t chasing around a four-year-old.

The reality is that you are chasing that little person. PaySmart simplifies things for you with bundled invoicing and streamlined coordination, helping bring all the moving pieces together through one source. Because when you’re trying to settle your family into a new city, the last thing you need is another pile of paperwork to sort through.

Making the Move a Little Easier

That dream short-term assignment may mean a move, a new city and a whole lot of boxes. But with PaySmart taking some of the weight off your shoulders, you’ll be able to focus on getting your family settled in and making your new location feel like home.

From finding a place you and your kids – even for a short time – can call home to coordinating services, simplifying invoicing and providing support when you need it, PaySmart makes a move easier when you have little ones.

So while you’re busy packing the stuffies, saying goodbye to your old neighborhood and getting your family ready for what’s next, you can have a little more peace of mind knowing we’re handling the details.
