Caregiver Support Program

Rutgers launched its Caregiver Support Pilot Program through Care.com in September 2022 and it is still available to all benefits-eligible Rutgers students and employees. 

All eligible employees may have a Care.com membership. Care.com offers employees access to the world’s largest network of caregivers to meet all of your unexpected care needs, connecting you with caregivers for children and adults, and giving you the option of using your own personal caregiver if no network caregiver is available. Through Care.com, you can find the right caregivers for children and adults including:

• Nannies and babysitters

• Senior caregivers

• Special needs caregivers

Note: You can also use Care.com to locate and book pet care services and providers, but these are NOT subsidized or reimbursible expenses through Rutgers' benefits program with Care.com.
