"A recent report by Child Care Aware of America showed that in all 50 states, child care costs more than rent; it is claiming more than 24% of household income per research from Care; and it is far outpacing inflation." This, as Brad Wilson shared with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, is why last month's National Child Care Innovation Summit was an impeccably timed watershed moment. The good news is that businesses like Suffolk Construction and Best Buy are already stepping up to support their employee caregivers. Progress is possible. More from Brad in the comments. ⤵

At Care, we’re moms, dads, daughters, sons, caregivers, and pet parents, which is why the work we do is so important to us. It’s also why we know first-hand just how tough it can be to juggle family and career responsibilities. We asked the working parents of Care to share what really helps them, well, work. We want to hear from you! What benefit really changed the game for you? Please share in the comments. Carolyn Livingston, Business Development Director, shared how one our most popular benefits, Backup Care, has taken her family from babyhood to elementary school. We love her reminder that it’s not just for child care. "Backup Care has been a game changer for me, helping us navigate various phases of life over the past decade. When our boys were babies, Backup Care came to the rescue on numerous occasions. Having someone I could call, who could almost immediately secure a trusted backup caregiver from a local nanny agency, was invaluable. In 2020, when our boys' schools unexpectedly closed, Backup Care again saved the day, helping to bridge the gap while we found a more permanent solution. That permanent solution ended up being pre-K and 1st-grade education pods run by experienced teachers we found using our Care.com premium membership. Now, we primarily use the Backup Care benefit to help with summer coverage. Over the past few months, we've also utilized the adult backup care benefit to help fill gaps in the care that I coordinate for an elderly loved one. I can't imagine navigating my career and journey as a mother and care coordinator for my family without all the amazing support provided through my care benefits. I am forever grateful."

Moms First asked parents to fill this out, so we took the liberty of doing so on behalf of the 2,000 parents who told us how much they spend on child care — and the lengths they go to in order to afford it — in our 2024 Cost of Care Report. We stand with parents everywhere who need answers from officials on both sides of the aisle: What are your plans to solve the child care crisis? As Bryan Jamele reminds us, legislators have one constituency in common, and that’s parents. Click here to learn how to get involved: https://lnkd.in/gkVFKdRH

Quick poll: if you're a working parent, does school or summer camp end at the same time as your workday? We bet it doesn't, and that's costing both families and employers. “'The schedule misalignment of traditional school hours and the traditional workday is a silent killer of workplace productivity that employers cannot afford to ignore,' explains Wes Burke, CHRO of Care.com" Wes spoke with Christine Michel Carter for ForbesWomen about how employers can — and should — step in to help families. ⤵ ⤵

It’s also why we know first-hand just how tough it can be to juggle family and career responsibilities. We asked the working parents of Care to share what really helps them, well, work.

We want to hear from you! Is there a benefit offered by your employer that helps you thrive as a working parent? Please share in the comments.
