Why Care@Work?

Sheila Marcelo - Founder and CEO of Care.com

Care@Work is Care.com's annual, invitation–only gathering of the brightest minds who are leading the way in designing smarter ways to work, and this year's theme is Focus Forward. This event offers an immersive opportunity into how leading edge companies are attracting and retaining talent by using new tools, technologies, policies, and strategies that help their people pay attention to what matters most—both at work and at home.

I founded Care.com in 2006 to help families find trusted care for their loved ones. From the beginning, I believed that providing a solution to people who are trying to balance the demands of work and life in ways that are safe, smart and sustainable would not only be technologically innovative, but a social revolution that could benefit families at all stages of their lives.

Now Care.com is the largest and fastest growing service used by families to find high quality caregivers. We address the unique lifecycle of care needs that families experience—child care, special needs care, tutoring and lessons, senior care, pet care, housekeeping and more.

As technology and demands at work and home speed up the pace of our lives, designing better ways to pay attention to what really matters is both a challenge and an opportunity. I hope you'll join us for Care@Work: Focus Forward to uncover some of the secrets of creating great organizations—and become part of our trusted and inspiring community of friends.

Warm regards,
Sheila Marcelo Sheila
