Back-up Child & Elder Care Program

VMware provides back-up child care and elder care through Bright Horizons’ Back-Up Care Advantage Program. The program provides access to quality child care centers and licensed in-home care providers when your regular care arrangements break down.

Eligibility

The Back-Up Care Advantage Program is available to regular full-time employees working at least 30 hours per week.

How it Works

You can use back-up care when you need to be at work and your regular child or adult/elder care is unavailable, for example:

Your regular caregiver or spouse/partner is unavailable
You are transitioning between child or adult/elder care arrangements
Your child’s regular center or school is closed
Your spouse/partner or parent is ill or needs temporary assistance
Your child is mildly ill at home

VMware employees have access to the following back-up care programs:

Center-based child care
In-home well- and mildly-ill child care
In-home adult/elder care

Cost

Registration is free and you pay a small co-payment for the care you receive. With the program, you receive up to 12 uses per employee, per calendar year.
