You know, we kind of have come to expect certain types of businesses to go nationwide and are used to having large chains replace old mom and pop businesses. But some things still come as a surprise to me, no matter how much they make sense. Take the Sittercity Corporate Program for example. This terrific program takes babysitting services to a corporate scale. After all, we all know the problem. Just when we need a sitter most (and often last minute) we just can’t find one. Let alone one we can trust. That’s where Sittercity come in. They actually have a nationwide network of thousands of babysitters ready to take the call when they are required.
But Sittercity isn’t only targeting parents, they are targeting large corporations who realize how much they can save by providing care services when their employees need them so they don’t have to take off from work. After all, it is estimated that corporate America loses over $3 billion a year just from child care related issues which can easily be prevented with services like Sittercity.
