As far as we know, there is no other university that is providing as extensive a backup program as this one is. |
Many programs were quite expensive, but this is a wonderful program and a wonderful company. It provides care at a reasonable cost to the employee and graduate student. We were delighted to find it and delighted to recommend it to the University and then have them approve it. |
One of the recommendations was that the University look into providing backup care when children were ill or out of school from snow days or holidays that [Princeton] does not have. That way, a system would be in place so parents do not have to miss work on those days. |
The company sends a trained and screened caregiver to your home or to the home of the person who needs help when you request it. |
The faculty member who may have had to cancel class [before] will actually be there to teach it now. |
