Back Up Care: Key factors

Should serve a broad UCSF population (childcare model)

Very limited space and financial resources.

Recognition that any new program that is introduced should have its costs offset by user fees.

UC Berkeley Program: Background

11

Back-up Care Advantage Program Launched in March 2009 (S. Zedeck, Vice Provost Academic Affairs & Faculty Welfare)

Pilot program for ~300 Assistant Professors Maximum 80 hours/year back-up care program Co-pay Structure:

- $2/hour per child for center-based care- $4/hour for up to 3 dependents for in-home- No annual service fee

UC Berkeley Program: Results

12

98 Assistant Professors or approximately one-third of eligible group registered

UC Berkeley used over 1,318 hours of care in the first program year

Represents 291 unique days saved in absenteeism 99% of all care provided was in-home Average of 30 requests/month with 99.6% fill rate

Participants rated satisfaction with the back-up care program 4.8 out of 5

UC-wide interest
