Use Care.com during busy holiday times

From: Hokie Wellness

The holidays are right around the corner, and you may find yourself in need of childcare, housekeeping help, senior care, or pet care to help you handle all your holiday tasks and responsibilities.

Care.com can help. Full-time faculty, staff, and non-student wage employees across all university locations have unlimited, premium access to the Care.com network for finding the help they may need.

With premium access, you can book short- and long-term care with a wide range of provider types, including those with experience assisting children and adults with special needs. Pet care includes pet sitters, walkers, and groomers.

All caregivers within Care.com’s network have completed a background check. (See CareCheck to learn more.) You are able to search for caregivers, post jobs, purchase additional screening, and pay caregivers in real time through the platform.
