Staffing Solutions @ Mothers' Aides
understands work-life realities. That's our business.
We've provided quality childcare in the Washington metro
area since 1979 to more than 50,000 families.
The U.S. Department of Labor
estimates U.S. employers lose $3 billion a year in childcare
related absences due to:
- illnesses
- gaps in normal daycare
- snow days
- school holidays
- family emergencies
Our back-up childcare services
help employees maintain critical commitments:
- court appearances & depositions
- key client meetings
- new business presentations
- must-make deadlines
- travel
- weekend meetings
- normal business routines
Who finds backup care valuable?
- Lawyers who must handle time-sensitive
client needs as well as appear in court on specific
dates.
- Corporate executives who have critical
business that requires them to be present.
- Sales and marketing representatives
who work on commission.
- Everyone who wants and needs to
be working to maintain their workloads and productivity.

We know back-up care helps our bottom
line by lowering turnover rates, attracting and retaining
the best and brightest employees, reducing absences,
and increasing productivity. It prevents absenteeism,
employees can focus on work knowing their children are
in a safe, enriching environment, and they’re
less stressed knowing they can tap into this benefit
when their care falls through. Employees are more committed
knowing that their employer cares about and provides
for a work life balance.

Increases profitability
• Research among companies that have invested
in back-up care consistently shows significant gains
in productivity and morale.
• A "best practices" study by the
Women in Cable & Telecommunications Foundation
reported that employers with work-life programs have
higher retention, lower turnover and attract a more
diverse workforce. Employees conflicted between work
and family demands are three times more likely to
consider quitting.
• National Public Radio reported for every
$1 invested in backup care, a company will save $5
in lost time from absenteeism due to childcare breakdowns.
Back-up care benefits everyone because colleagues
don’t have to rearrange their schedules, take
on a last-minute assignment that increases their burden
in an already busy day or scramble to save the outcome
of a high stakes project. Additionally, it’s
also available for back-up care for an elderly relative,
which may be of interest to employees without younger
children.
