Program Overview
Rutgers is pleased to introduce a Caregiver Support Program through Care.com, providing employees access to a vast network of caregivers for children and adults, along with the option to use their own personal caregiver for unexpected care needs.
The program provides subsidized care for children and adults when your regular care is not available. Employees may select In-home or In Center back up care from Care.com’s network of vetted providers or to utilize a resource of their own (friend, family member) and still take advantage of the subsidized back up care benefits.
Upon enrollment, you will have access to a robust online community where you can find support for both ongoing and one time family care needs for children, adults, pets, tutoring, distance learning, housekeeping and much more. Please note the subsidy is for back up child and adult care only.
Care Talks
Care.com also offers our employees free access to our monthly Care Talks—live, interactive sessions designed to support and inspire you all year long. Join us each month for expert-led conversations that help you thrive at work and beyond. To register for upcoming sessions or to watch recorded Care Talks on demand, visit the care talks webpage.
