Think of it as having a trusted nanny on retainer. Our back-up care provides reliable, on-demand childcare whenever you need it—whether it’s a last-minute schedule change, a sick day, school closure, or simply extra support. Families have peace of mind knowing they don’t have to scramble for care; we’re already in place and ready to step in with experienced, vetted caregivers who can seamlessly support your child and maintain their routine.
Back-up childcare is designed to bring calm to the unexpected. When plans fall through—a caregiver is unavailable, school is closed, or your schedule suddenly shifts—it ensures your family isn’t left scrambling. Instead, you have reliable, high-quality care ready when you need it most.
At The Nanny Lab, our back-up care goes beyond simply filling a gap. We provide thoughtful, engaging caregivers who step in with confidence and ease, helping maintain your child’s routine and creating a sense of consistency, even on unpredictable days. For families, it means less stress, more flexibility, and the reassurance that their children are in capable, nurturing hands.
It’s not just about coverage—it’s about giving families the freedom to navigate busy lives with support they can truly depend on.

Our corporate childcare solutions are designed to meet the realities of today’s workforce—where reliable care isn’t just a convenience, it’s essential. We partner with companies to create flexible, high-touch programs that support employees through every stage of parenthood, from daily needs to unexpected disruptions.
Our offerings can include back-up care benefits (our specialty), on-site or in-home childcare, event-based care, and fully customized programs that align with your company’s structure and culture. We manage everything—from sourcing and vetting exceptional caregivers to scheduling, communication, and ongoing support—so your team has a seamless, dependable experience.
The impact goes far beyond convenience. When employees know their children are cared for, they show up differently—more focused, more present, and more engaged. And the data supports it:
Companies offering childcare benefits have seen returns of up to 425% on their investment, driven by improved retention and productivity
Retaining as little as 1% of employees can offset the full cost of a childcare program
Employees with reliable childcare avoid up to 13 missed workdays per year, significantly reducing absenteeism
86% of working parents say they’re more likely to stay with an employer who offers childcare support
Beyond the numbers, these programs signal something deeper: that a company truly values its people. They strengthen culture, improve morale, and position organizations as employers of choice in a competitive market.
At The Nanny Lab, we don’t just provide childcare—we help companies build a more supported, resilient, and high-performing workforce.
