My Family Care (previously Emergency Child and Home Care Ltd) is an employee benefits company based in the United Kingdom.[1]
History
[edit]My Family Care was founded by brothers Ben and Oliver Black in 2005 as a web-based service offering emergency childcare, eventually expanding to set up an elderly care service, and offer other family benefits[citation needed]. The Blacks had previously bought the nanny agency Tinies Childcare in 2000.[2]
The company was acquired by Bright Horizons in 2019.[3]
Services
[edit]The company provides emergency childcare, back-up adult and eldercare, and school holiday cover, as well as additional services, such as a parental leave toolkit, coaching, a booking app, interactive tools, and educational videos.[4] In 2008, over 350,000 employees in the UK had access to their services.[5]
Awards
[edit]The company has won several awards, including the Daily Telegraph's Trailblazers Award in 2007,[6] and later in 2007 acquired BUPA’s corporate childcare division.[7]
