The W-2 Protected Backup Care Solution
That Keeps Your MetroWest & Greater Boston Team Productive
3-5 childcare emergencies per employee per year. Each costs you $300-500 in lost productivity. Our solution pays for itself after 2 uses.
💡 The hidden cost:
The average small business loses $5,000-10,000 annually per working parent due to unplanned childcare absences. Our corporate membership costs $6,000/year. It pays for itself if it prevents just 2 emergency absences.

The retainer isn't just about access—it's about certainty, savings, and legal protection.

Company pays the retainer. Employees pay the discounted $35/hr when they use care. Still a significant savings vs. market rates ($50-65/hr for last-minute care).
Company covers the first 2-3 backup care requests per employee per year, then employee pays additional usage. Best of both worlds.

The retainer is non-refundable because it's an insurance model, not a pay-per-use service. Here's the reality: childcare emergencies don't happen on a schedule—they happen at 6:47am on the day of your biggest client pitch.
Without the retainer:
With the retainer:
Think of it like business insurance or a retained lawyer—you pay for certainty, not just usage. And here's what we see: 85% of companies use backup care within their first 6 months. The other 15%? They tell us the peace of mind alone is worth it.
Your company pays the flat monthly retainer (e.g., $499) to secure priority access and maintain the W-2 liability shield. When an employee actually books care, the $35/hr usage fee is billed separately. You decide whether your company covers usage fees, employees pay them, or you split the cost. Most companies start with a shared model and expand coverage as adoption grows.
Using 1099 independent contractors for childcare creates significant legal, tax, and liability risks for your company. If an accident happens, your company could be held liable. Our caregivers are W-2 employees of Nurture Haven, meaning we carry the insurance, workers' compensation, background checks, and employer responsibilities—not you. This is a true liability shield.
Most companies are fully onboarded within 5-7 business days. We handle employee portal setup, policy template customization, and team training. Your first backup care request can typically be fulfilled within your tier's response time (24, 12, or 8 hours).

Most companies see their first backup care request within 3 weeks. That's when the value becomes crystal clear—and when HR departments become our biggest internal advocates.
We prioritize placements in MetroWest and Greater Boston, including Waltham, Hopkinton, Boston, and Worcester. If your team members live outside these areas, contact us—we're expanding coverage and may be able to accommodate.
We require a 3-month minimum commitment to allow your team time to experience the benefit (most childcare emergencies don't happen every week). After that, it's month-to-month with 30-day notice. But here's what we see: companies that make it past the first emergency booking almost never cancel—because they've experienced the relief firsthand.
"We lost a senior associate to a competitor last year partly because they offered backup childcare and we didn't. After partnering with Nurture Haven, we've had three employees specifically mention it during performance reviews as a reason they're staying. Best $500/month we spend."
— Managing Partner, 7-person MetroWest Law Firm
(Hopkinton, MA)
"Our project manager was about to take a full sick day because her nanny called out. Nurture Haven had someone there by noon. She made the client presentation, we closed the deal. The membership paid for itself in one afternoon."
— Sarah M., Founder, 12-person Architecture Firm
(Waltham, MA)
"The in-office support Nurture Haven provided during our Partner's return from maternity leave was game-changing. It allowed her to attend key meetings while staying close to her infant. Worth every penny."
