Plan for your summer care needs with Care.com

From: Hokie Wellness

It’s not too early to start planning for your summer care needs with Care.com’s premium membership. With a range of options from nannies to senior care, and pet sitters, you can mix and match to meet your needs, budget, and schedule with confidence.

With the Care.com premium membership, you can:

• Access a wide range of care, including sitters and nannies, day care, tutors, senior care, pet sitters, boarding, house cleaners, and more.
• Post a job. Instead of browsing caregiver profiles, members can save time by completing an online form and selecting qualities prefer in a caregiver, pet sitter, or tutor. Then caregivers can respond directly to your job posting via the Messages tab on the website. 
• Book with confidence. All caregivers interacting with families go through the Care.com Background Check (formerly CareCheck). You can check caregiver ratings and reviews, read profiles, and conduct interviews to get to know caregivers and housekeepers before you book. 

Register with your VT email to gain access to these benefits. When asked for your PID, use the first part of your Virginia Tech email before the @ sign. For example, with the email address hbird24@vt.edu, the PID would be hbird24. Do not use your alias or your 90 number.
