• We’re introducing unconscious bias training programs, fostering open dialogues and teaching how to have constructive, respectful and healthy conversations even if the topic is uncomfortable.

• We’re actively looking at ways we can foster racial equality on our platform and across our membership community.

• Our parent company, IAC, has made a $25 million endowment this year to its Fellows program, our single largest effort to build leaders from underrepresented communities.

• We’re partnering with IAC and our sister companies to maximize our dollars and impact through donations to nonprofits fighting for racial equality.

Last week, Governor Newsom and the State of California made changes to the Stay in Place orders in order to start the re-opening of the State. Specifically, Governor Newsom moved us to "Stage 2" of the reopening process. This means that "lower risk" workplaces are being allowed to gradually reopen.

In particular, in-home child care workers may be hired as long as there is adherence to basic prevention guidelines (e.g., handwashing, physical distancing, etc.). Under state orders, other services that do not generally require close customer contact are also allowed. These services include residential cleaning. -https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/

More information about Stage 2 can be found here https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/. The roadmap also provides guidelines about how to create a safer environment for both you and the candidate you work with.

In line with these modifications to the State Stay-in-Place orders and compliant with County orders, we are again working on requests for all in-home childcare positions, temporary and permanent. To the extent permitted by applicable County orders, we are also working on requests for other positions.

We look forward to actively working with all clients to help them find the care they need during this challenging period.

Please let us know if you have any questions and if we can be of assistance. We are here to help!
