For the past two years, eligible UC faculty and staff have enjoyed SelectPlus, an online tool to help them find baby sitters, caregivers, nannies, and pet sitters, as well as resources for elder care. Subsequently, Bright Horizons acquired SelectPlus, which as of January 1, 2014, was offered by Bright Horizons as part of the newly created Bright Horizons Care Advantage Program.
Whether you’re experiencing a breakdown in your normal child care, looking for an after-school sitter, a caregiver for an adult or elder loved one, or someone to walk the dog—Bright Horizons is there for you.
