VUMC offers employees a benefit through Care.com that gives you several options for backup care. With the Care.com benefit, VUMC employees receive up to 20 days (per fiscal year — July 1 through June 30) of subsidized backup child care at home or at local, vetted child care centers. Visit the HR website for more details about costs and how to enroll and access the service.
