Caregiver Networks
UO Care Provider Network
Exclusive to the UO community, this network connects members of our community with UO families needing caregiving. Only those with a UO email address can access the network to add their name to the caregiver listing or view the listing to connect with a care provider.
Providing care can take many forms:
- babysitting services
- nanny care
- tutoring services
- support with remote school
- elder care
The Care Provider Network provides a list of potential caregivers. Those seeking care take full responsibility for managing the search and selection process on their own by contacting potential caregivers, completing the screening process, and defining terms including pay and schedule.
UO Shared Care Network
The Shared Care Network allows UO families to connect exclusively with other UO families seeking shared care arrangements. At this time, many families need more care or more flexible care options than they have before. Through this list UO families can work together to arrange a mutually-beneficial solution.
Shared Care can take many forms:
- exchanging childcare responsibilities based on compatible work schedules
- create a 鈥渓earning pod鈥 to partner on school work
The creative options are endless when families find shared needs, collaborate to identify solutions, and establish mutually beneficial arrangements.
The Shared Care Network is designed to build itself as UO families join. The listing will grow as more people learn 奶糖直播 this new opportunity. Please check the listing frequently as new contacts will be added regularly.
Viewing and adding information to the listings requires a Microsoft login using a UO DuckID and password.
For questions or assistance, please email caregivers@uoregon.edu and a UO representative will be in contact.
