I am trying to filter all rows containing two words: mom and dad.

Family
My mom is a teacher. 
My dad is a policeman.
Both my mom and dad are retired.

My expected output would be

Both my mom and dad are retired

as it contains both the words. I have tried with str.contains(). Just wondering if there is another approach to do it.

s = df.Family
searchfor = ['mom', 'dad']
found = [s.str.contains(x) for x in searchfor]
result = pd.DataFrame[found]

Try str.contains with regex (?=.*mom)(?=.*dad), which will match a string that contains both mom and dad (this is done by using two look ahead assertions ?=, i.e. assert the string matches both .*mom and .*dad):

df[df.Family.str.contains(r'(?=.*mom)(?=.*dad)')]
#                               Family
# 2  Both my mom and dad are retired.
