Childcare Support

Many healthcare jobs and degree programs require a lot of flexibility, which can be hard if you have a family.  Planning and maintaining reliable childcare is necessary and directly relates to your ability to show up for work on-time.

If you need help to select a childcare provider? Here are some tips:

• Get a Children Care List
• Choosing Quality Child Care

If you need help finding or paying for childcare, contact United Way’s Mass 2-1-1 line (just call 211). Find alternative resources to Pay for Child Care, such as: government programs, employee benefits, and student resources.

These agencies offer free services to help you find qualified childcare professionals, and can provide vouchers to help you pay for childcare.
