Navigating maternity leave is too difficult for new and expectant moms. Period.

At Benita, we know the challenges new and expectant moms face—from juggling career demands to managing maternity leave paperwork. We've heard countless stories from women overwhelmed by the complexity of it all. 

You have probably felt this too and might have questions like: 

  • When should I tell my boss I’m pregnant? 
  • What should I say and what should I NOT say?
  • What does my employer offer in my state?
  • How long can I take maternity leave?
  • When can I start it?
  • How long will my job be protected for?
  • What happens if my state offers paid leave benefits
  • Does my employer expect me to read all these forms?
  • Can I be fired from my job for taking more time than what I was offered?
  • How can I maximize my leave time and benefits?

Our mission is to simplify this process, offering you the support you need so you can concentrate on your health, your baby, and your family. Let us handle the details, so you can embrace what matters most.

Meet our Founder

As a mother who has faced the challenges of planning maternity leave while advancing my career, I founded Benita to support expectant mothers through this crucial time. After experiencing the struggles firsthand with my two boys and hearing similar frustrations from many other women—feeling alone with the administrative load and anxious about getting everything right—I was driven to ensure no mother feels unsupported. At Benita, we handle the complexities of maternity leave, from paycheck management to claim filing, allowing you to focus on bonding with your baby and embracing motherhood with peace and confidence.
