Back-up childcare
When you have a disruption in family care, you won’t have to skip a beat. Back-up care is available to support you for many needs, including:
- Your child’s school is closed.
- The sitter is on vacation.
- Mom or Dad needs support in their home.
- Your child is mildly ill and can’t attend school or child care.
- Your 5-18-year-old needs additional tutoring in any subject.
Benefits-eligible employees can use up to 10 days of back-up care per year. For in-home care, there is a 4-hour minimum and a 10-hour maximum.
- $15 per child or a maximum of $25 per family for use of center-based child care.
- $6 per hour for in-home care services for any age, from children through elders.
- $15 for up to 4 hours of virtual tutoring.
