BetterCare: A Refreshingly Different Backup Childcare Program

In a world where technology dominates our daily lives, BetterCare stands out as a unique and innovative backup childcare program. Here are seven key ways that BetterCare sets itself apart from other backup childcare companies:

1) Simplified Scheduling: Unlike other companies that rely on apps, websites, or message boards for scheduling, BetterCare utilizes a convenient texting system. This streamlined process saves Parents valuable time and effort, allowing them to quickly secure backup care for their children with one simple text.

Parents can quickly secure backup care with one simple text.

2) Pre-Screened Caregivers: The last thing Parents need when they’re in a hurry is to scroll through countless babysitter profiles or conduct screening procedures. With BetterCare we guarantee all Caregivers are screened beforehand, meaning they undergo a fingerprinted background check and are First Aid/CPR certified. This may seem like an obvious standard, but even some of the biggest names in childcare don’t offer First Aid/CPR certification guarantees for the babysitters they offer. BetterCare does! Every time! As soon as a Caregiver reaches out to you, you receive their profile that verifies they’re qualified, ensuring peace of mind and a hassle-free experience.

Even some of the biggest names in childcare do not offer the guarantees BetterCare does.

3) Unlimited Bookings: Say goodbye to additional charges each time you need backup care. BetterCare offers unlimited use of our service for a low monthly fee. This means Parents can schedule care as often as they need without worrying about incurring extra costs each time.

4) Fair Compensation for Babysitters: At BetterCare, we believe in supporting our Caregivers. Unlike other backup childcare companies that deduct a percentage of the babysitter's payment, with BetterCare Parents pay Caregivers directly, ensuring 100% of the payment goes directly to the Caregiver. Babysitters often raise their rates to offset the deduction the childcare company takes from their pay. BetterCare’s fair compensation model not only benefits the Caregivers but also keeps costs affordable for Parents.

5) Consistent Hourly Rates: With BetterCare, there are no surprises when it comes to hourly rates. All Caregivers are paid the same hourly rate, $18/hour, allowing Parents to plan and budget for their backup care needs more effectively.

6) Specialized Backup Care: In addition to serving all last-minute needs, BetterCare specializes in providing backup care specifically for situations when children can't attend preschool due to DHS regulations. This specialization allows BetterCare to offer three essential services. Firstly, BetterCare meets security release protocols of preschools by providing a quick email link on every Caregiver’s profile. This enables Parents to easily provide the necessary written permission and the Caregiver’s driver's license to their child's preschool. Secondly, BetterCare provides Caregivers with a car seat, eliminating the need for Parents to purchase an additional car seat for their backup Caregiver. Lastly, BetterCare provides informative and helpful care packages for both Parents and Caregiver’s. These packages, designed by Parents and Caregiver’s, include child profile sheets that provide essential information about each child's preferences, favorite foods, screen time, songs, toys, what medicines can be administered when, and more. Additionally, the care package for Caregiver’s includes gifts they can give the children, helping to foster a positive and comfortable introduction.

Whether they are picking your child up from school or arriving at your house, you can have peace of mind knowing your child is in the care of a qualified individual.

In conclusion, BetterCare stands out among other backup childcare programs due to its commitment to simplicity, reliability, fair compensation, transparent pricing, specialized backup care, and BetterCare credentials. With BetterCare, Parents can confidently navigate the challenges of finding backup care. Experience the BetterCare difference and discover the peace of mind that comes with reliable backup childcare.
