Child and Elder Care Resources
What to Know
Things come up. When those things derail your child care, elder care, or pet care plans, contact Bright Horizons for backup. Bright Horizons offers several programs to support your family, including babysitting and tutoring.
What’s Included
Your Bright Horizons benefits include many resources to support your entire family:
Sitters, Nannies, Tutors, and Pet Care
Need help for date-night, weekend, or after-school care? Your Bright Horizons benefits include free access to Sittercity. Through Sittercity, you can access a comprehensive database of sitters, nannies, housekeepers, tutors, pet sitters, dog walkers, and more.

Elder Care Resources
Finding the best care possible for your loved one is a top priority. Through Bright Horizons, you have access to decision support tools that help you plan. These tools include an online needs assessment, information on how to select from various elder care choices — including specialized facilities for memory or hospice care, and independent or assisted-living communities — and a search tool for finding and evaluating care providers.
DuPont partners with Sittercity and Years Ahead to provide these resources at no cost to you. To get started, sign up for your Years Ahead account. Once you sign up, you can navigate the site to find the perfect caregiver for your loved one.
