Care.com Benefit for Employees and Students

U-M faculty, staff, and students can search Care.com profiles of local caregivers for children, seniors, pets, and more. The monthly premium membership fee for Care.com is covered by U-M for current, regular employees and students. See this membership PDF for more information.

  • 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. 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. 

  • Visit umich.care.com to get started and watch a short video on how to enroll.

  • For login and email address troubleshooting, or other technical issues, please contact the Care.com Care at Work department directly: email backupcare@care.com with your specific concern and, if you wish, a phone number where you can be reached. Emailing them is preferred, though you can also try to reach them by calling 855-781-1303 (follow the prompts to backup care).
