 Back-up Child Care and Elder Care: The Value Proposition
Increasingly, companies recognize that offering backup child care and elder care is a win-win proposition. Backup care reduces stress and gives employees peace of mind, while at the same time, increases employee productivity and retention. Providing backup childcare and eldercare makes good business sense with tangible and measurable benefits. With one phone call, an employee has access to a pool of in-home caregivers who will come to the employee's home or the elder's home on short notice. In-home child care and elder care are available on weekdays, evenings and weekends; the benefit covers sick children and recuperating elders, and has no set hours or geographic boundaries. In addition, the company can offer backup childcare in daycare centers which have spaces available for backup care, and a reimbursement program for employees who locate their own resources for backup care. Call us so we can explain why Parents in a Pinch is a leader in providing backup child care and eldercare.
 Corporate Sponsored Back-up Child Care
Studies have shown that backup child care positively impacts recruitment and retention, builds employee commitment and improves overall productivity. Parents in a Pinch offers three types of support for employees needing backup childcare:
|
• In home child care is used by families with healthy or mildly-ill children, when their regular childcare arrangements fall through, during holidays, or when they work overtime or on weekends.
• Center-based backup care is available during regular work-hours and is a benefit for employees who prefer not to have caregivers come to their home.
• The reimbursement program helps make backup care available to employees at all income levels, and even reimburses employees who identify their own sources of backup caregivers.

Corporate sponsored backup child care is a benefit that is becoming a business imperative in forward-thinking companies.
