Melissa Ellsworth had her 4-month-old son Noah Robert at work with her Tuesday.
Ellsworth works at Peck’s Flowers in Gloversville and gave birth to her son at Nathan Littauer Hospital Jan. 7. She is among local new mothers looking for the best possible future for her children.
“We tried for two years,” Ellsworth said of her and her husband Samuel’s efforts to have a child. “We were both very excited.
Ellsworth said she has been working at Peck’s for a year.
Business owner Bob Peck said he didn’t mind Ellsworth bringing her newborn to work. He has a 3-year-old and recognizes the need at times, even though they were particularly busy as they approached Mother’s Day. She said she tries not to do it too often, but once in a while she has to.
“This is our second busiest time of the year here,” Peck said.
