Parents in a Pinch

Life is unpredictable...

Families need a safety net to succeed at work and at home. Since 1984, Parents in a Pinch, Inc. has been that safety net for thousands of employees by providing exceptional, qualified caregivers whenever there is a gap in a family's regular childcare or adult care routine. Caregivers are available day and night, seven days a week for overtime needs, on weekends, during Monday holidays and vacations. Caregivers are also available when a child or adult is ill and overnight during a business trip.

Wellesley College provides you with this access to backup care so you only pay the hourly cost of care.

Easy Access
