Has anyone used Bright Horizons for in-home back-up childcare? Curious on the circumstances where you’ve used this benefit. Thanks!

My brother is using this benefit while he and his wife have been sitting on daycare waitlists for over a year. They’re relying on backup care (while it lasts) and hoping every day to get a permanent spot in daycare.

The childcare crisis in this country is outrageous.

Yes! When we’ve visited my in-laws in Boston we’ve used this. For the most part it worked out very well, but we also always had someone working at home who knows the kids. Once or twice the service sent us someone who specialized in elder care. The kids were always safe with them, but there was definitely a difference in fun/interaction levels.

I’ve tried to use them at home in NY and they have never been available. So location makes a difference as well.

I use it when our daycare closes. There are great options in Manhattan. I’ve tried it for work conferences in other cities and unfortunately not as strong.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?
