“UrbanSitter understands the critical importance of family caregiving. Founded by moms, our company is committed to helping families find trusted babysitters and nannies so that they can balance their work and life demands with the quality care their children need. We also know that sometimes working adults need paid leave to provide care for a new child, a seriously ill loved one, or to care for their own personal medical need. That is why we support the key paid leave principles and the FAMILY Act, which reflect the successful paid family and medical leave program that California has had in place for over a decade. We support a national paid family and medical leave program so that all working people — including our own team and the nannies, babysitters, and families who use our platform — have access to this essential benefit, no matter where they live or work. We know life is a balancing act, but it can be made easier. It’s time for national paid family and medical leave to support working adults in caring for their families and themselves.”
