Back-up care is an amazing benefit that I absolutely cherish. It's more than just the care itself, it's peace of mind and that is invaluable to me and my family.

quotes

- Annie W.

Back-up care has truly been an important and much needed benefit. We unfortunately do not have family, friends, etc. that would have the ability to take care of our child when not in school or regular alternate care. This has been valuable to not "disrupting" our normal weekday routine.

quotes

- Brenda H.

Back-up care not only saved my job, but also my sanity. THANK YOU! Taking this significant stress off my plate (finding care for my children with little to no notice) is not only a relief, but enables me to be more focused, committed, and effective as an employee.
