The Value Proposition

Increasingly, companies recognize that offering backup childcare is a win-win proposition. A backup childcare benefit reduces employee stress and gives them peace of mind, while at the same time, increases productivity and retention.

According to the Families and Work Institute study, in a three-month period, 29% of employed parents experienced some type of family care breakdown (school holidays or closures, sick children, unreliable caregivers and more), which resulted in absenteeism, tardiness, or reduced concentration at work.
HR Magazine estimates that American businesses lose $68 billion annually due to employee absences.

Corporate Sponsored Backup Childcare Childcare is Easy to Implement

With one phone call, an employee has access to a professionally screened and trained pool of in-home caregivers who will come to the employee's home on short notice. In-home backup childcare is available 24/7. Employees call us

When their children are mildly-ill
During vacations and holidays
When they have to work overtime or on weekends
When their regular caregiver is temporarily unavailable.

The backup childcare benefit can also be extended to provide

On-site group childcare during meetings or on days when schools are closed;
Nanny placement services to help employees who need to hire a new permanent caregiver; and
NannyCheck, a service where we do the screening and background checks on the nanny the employee found on her own.

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