Program Overview
Rutgers is pleased to launch a Caregiver Support Program through Care.com. Care.com offers employees access to the world’s largest network of caregivers to meet all of your unexpected care needs, connecting you with caregivers for children and adults, and giving you the option of using your own personal caregiver.
The program provides subsidized BACK UP care for children and adults when your regular care is not available. Employees are free to select In-home or In Center back up care from Care.com’s network of vetted providers OR to use a resource of their own (friend, family member) and still take advantage of the subsidized benefits.
Once you enroll, you will have access to a robust online community where you can find help for both ongoing and one time family care needs for children, adults, pets, tutoring, distance learning, housekeeping and much more.
