Sittercity is the nation’s largest online source for local babysitters, nannies, elder care providers, dog walkers, housekeepers and tutors, and contains more than a million caregiver profiles.
The Sittercity Corporate Program, funded by the Defense Department, offers military families — including active duty, Guard and Reserve — with a paid membership to the site. Military members and their families can activate their membership by going to http://www.sittercity.com/dod.
The paid membership gives military families entry to a custom-built Defense Department Web site portal where they can match up caregivers to their situation; gain instant access to caregiver profiles that include background checks, references and reviews; and find military-certified care providers as well as caregivers who are military-subsidized and have authorized access to a military installation.
While the Sittercity membership is free, servicemembers are responsible for the hiring and payment of caregivers.
The other program available is:
Another Defense Department prgram offering a free, online tutoring service for servicemembers and their families called Tutor.com.
The site offers round-the-clock professional tutors who can assist with homework, studying, test preparation, resume writing and more.
Active-duty servicemembers, National Guard and reserve personnel on active duty in a deployed status, Defense Department civilians in a deployed status and their dependents are eligible to participate. Along with test preparation, the site is open to students of any age – from kindergartners to high school seniors – for one-on-one help in math, science, social studies and English.
