The Ultimate Solution for Working Families

Mom Corps provides flexible work arrangements, Sittercity.com provides trusted caregivers - together the two make the concept of the working family a reality. Two companies with the same mission - to help parents find flexible, affordable solutions to meet modern demands - are partnering to give families the help they need while revolutionizing the way we work and find caregivers.

Our partnership is a natural evolution for both companies

So much of what inhibits parents, particularly women, from participating in the workforce is not being able to find a fulfilling, flexible job opportunity or responsible, affordable care for their families.

Sittercity strives to banish the words 'I can't find a caregiver' from people's vocabularies

And with 69 percent of our members having to either go back to work or work more hours due to the economic downturn, there is no better time for launching our partnership with Mom Corps.

Atlanta (PRWEB) December 4, 2008 -- In today's economy, Americans have had to change their definition of what it truly means to be a "working family". Sixty-two percent of households are run by two working parents with children under 18, and 25 percent of working adults are taking on elder care responsibilities as well. More than ever, these families need support, flexibility and balance between their personal and professional lives.

Two companies with the same mission - to help parents find flexible, affordable solutions to meet modern demands - are partnering to give families the help they need while revolutionizing the way we work and find caregivers.

To address the unique needs of moms looking for professional job opportunities and affordable child care, Mom Corps, a premier, national staffing solution with jobs unavailable through traditional employment channels, has joined forces with Sittercity.com, America's largest and most trusted online source for child care, pet care, senior care, home care and tutoring. Through this collaboration, Mom Corps and Sittercity will bring thousands of family-friendly jobs and hundreds of thousands of caregivers to today's job-seeking moms.

"Our partnership is a natural evolution for both companies," says Allison O'Kelly, Founder and CEO of Mom Corps. "So much of what inhibits parents, particularly women, from participating in the workforce is not being able to find a fulfilling, flexible job opportunity or responsible, affordable care for their families."

"Sittercity strives to banish the words 'I can't find a caregiver' from people's vocabularies," says Genevieve Thiers, Founder and CEO of Sittercity. "And with 69 percent of our members having to either go back to work or work more hours due to the economic downturn, there is no better time for launching our partnership with Mom Corps."

With more focus than ever on working families and corporate America's ability to accommodate their needs, a partnership between Mom Corps and Sittercity is a timely and innovative solution for today's workforce.
