We chose to work with My Family Care because it offered services that would address our need to support staff with childcare needs. My Family Care offered the most flexible service in terms of Emergency Childcare, giving our employees the option of having a temporary nanny in their own home, or using a registered child minder or nursery close to their home or close to the office.
