What working parents and carers say...

"It's been a huge support for myself and my family. I've worked for the company for 16 years and so it isn't often I'm taken aback, but this service certainly did. My mum who lives alone and 30 miles away from me had a serious stroke. It was a terrible, worrying time but she started recovering which was great until I realised how much help she needed at home. Cue the Backup Adult & Eldercare service. The team on the phone were brilliant and the agency staff who've been looking after mum have been great. Thank you isn't enough. This service enabled me to return to work much sooner and relax knowing mum had someone to come in to clean, cook, sort laundry and to keep her company. What peace of mind."

"The service gives great reassurance that there is support available at a time of stress, and without feeling that my work is compromised."

"A very important benefit to me, makes a huge difference in my ability to fulfil work commitments to a high standard, and to my stress levels!"

"Emergency and back-up childcare takes away the worry of finding somewhere safe for your child. I needed to work an additional day, so I was able to use the service to book my child into the same nursery that she usually attends. The team looked after the booking and payment for me while I could concentrate on doing the extra work day I was required to do without the worry of sorting out childcare."

"I returned to work from maternity recently and can honestly say that I hadn't appreciated what a great service this was to have available before having children. I've now made sure that people on my team are registered! Thank you."

"Backup Adult & Eldercare allows you to feel confident that your elderly parents are being attended to whilst you are working and also relieves some of the additional stress."
