Got a short-term or last-minute need? Bright Horizons offers full-service, subsidized backup care you can rely on for temporary child care, adult care, and elder care when you need to be at work and your normal arrangement isn’t available or a need suddenly arises.

You’re eligible for up to 15 backup care days per calendar year for each person needing either center-based or in-home care. Care is available for your dependent children and immediate family and your spouse’s or domestic partner’s immediate family. You pay by credit card, debit card, or electronic funds transfer (EFT) at the time you make your reservation:

• For center-based care, you pay $15 per day for one child ($25 for two or more).
• For in-home care, you pay $6 per hour, for both child and elder care (with a four-hour minimum).

Bright Horizons Additional Family Supports is for your personal, anytime needs. This program connects you with options for more regular and long-term care needs, as well as care for evenings, weekends, and even pets. You make the arrangements directly with providers and pay the provider. Care is not subsidized by Synopsys.
