Abstract	I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine how maternal employment affects when during the day that mothers of pre-school-age children spend doing enriching childcare and whether they adjust their schedules to spend time with their children at more-desirable times of day. I find that employed mothers shift enriching childcare time from workdays to nonwork days. On workdays, full-time employed parents shift enriching childcare time toward evenings, but there is little shifting among part-time employed mothers. I find no evidence that full-time employed mothers adjust their schedules to spend time with their children at more-preferred times of day, whereas part-time employed mothers shift employment to later in the day. Classification of activities among routine care, quality care, and unclassified care is appended. (Contains 3 tables, 4 figures and 29 footnotes.) (As Provided).
