Tools That Provide Support When You Need It!
BACK-UP CARE ADVANTAGE
Children get sick. Caregivers sometimes have emergencies. Sometimes you have to work late.
As parents and caregivers know, even the best-laid plans for child and adult care can sometimes get interrupted. When that happens, the Back-Up Care Advantage Program can provide you with options so that you can rest assured knowing that your loved ones are safe and well cared for while you attend to work or school, or other commitments.
- Your nanny or regular caregiver is ill or on vacation.
- Your child has a mild fever and cannot attend school or their regular childcare program.
- Your elder parent needs assistance with daily tasks, meal preparation, and general supervision.
- You need to work additional hours, or your work schedule has changed, and your regular child or adult care provider is unavailable.
- Your regular care arrangements are unexpectedly interrupted.
As an employee of Verizon-IBEW, the Back-Up Care Advantage Program offers care for your loved ones at $2/hour for center-based child care and $4/hour for in-home child or elder care.
Yes! You must be registered for this program before care can be provided. Reservations for back-up care are accepted as early as one month in advance and up to the day that care is needed.
