Free Caregiver Access

Week of February 01, 2010

Military families now have free access to an online network of quality caregivers who can assist with everything from babysitting to dog walking through SitterCity.

The paid membership enables military families entry to a custom-built Defense Department website portal where they can match up caregivers to their situation; gain instant access to caregiver profiles that include background checks, references and reviews; and find military-certified care providers as well as caregivers who are military-subsidized and authorized access to a military installation. Military members and their families can activate their membership by going to http://www.sittercity.com/dod. Read the full article.
