Care.com Benefit for Employees and Students

U-M faculty, staff, and students can search Care.com online profiles of local caregivers for children, seniors, pets, and more. The monthly premium membership fee for Care.com is paid by U-M for active, regular employees and enrolled students through January 17, 2025. 

  • Employees and students are responsible for the full cost of care. 

  • Regular (non-temporary) employees can register at umich.care.com using their U-M uniqname.

  • Current U-M students who are not also U-M student employees must register via our student sign-up for Care.com access (uploads are done once a week, on Thursdays at 8 a.m. for Friday access). Please note: part-time or full-time, U-M student employees (e.g. GSIs, GSRAs) are already in the system as employees and do not need to sign up. 

  • Incoming U-M employees (faculty and staff) who have an official start date and a uniqname assigned to them can also register via our student sign-up for Care.com access (uploads are done once a week, on Thursdays at 8 a.m. for Friday access).
