“Care.com is a publicly traded company, which operates in more than 20 countries and serves more than 29 million members and about 1.4 million employees of corporate clients. We know the many different forms family care can take and the many ways care needs affect families, workplaces and the economy. While the United States has fallen behind on paid leave, we can leap to the front of the line with a family leave policy designed for the 21st century. In the FAMILY Act, we have a national plan that would make a meaningful difference for millions of Americans. By reflecting the nature of our modern workforce and covering the full spectrum of family care needs, the FAMILY Act would ensure no worker contributing to the American economy would have to choose between a paycheck and caring for a loved one. We at Care.com have proudly supported this important piece of legislation since 2015.”
