Childcare Services for Organizations
A Friend of the Family childcare service has recently become College Nannies + Sitters. We are now offering the same highly screened caregivers with new, easy and convenient scheduling technology for corporate clients and families.
Childcare Assistance for Your Employees or Members
Parents in the workforce often struggle to balance work responsibilities and family. Between meeting deadlines at work, staying on top of their children’s school and activity schedules, and keeping their household running smoothly, working parents – whether married or single – have a lot on their plates.
One of the best perks any business or organization can provide to its people is assistance with childcare. Parents know that finding good care is difficult and costly. They appreciate any help and reward the organizations that provide it with great loyalty.

Childcare Services Are Good for Business
Did you know offering childcare options can greatly increase attendance at churches and special events? Businesses, in particular, often see significant benefits from providing some form of childcare support to their employees including:
- Improved morale
- Reduced absenteeism
- Reduced turnover
- Increased productivity
- Incentive for recruitment
Help with childcare keeps employees happier and more productive at work, which is always good for business.
