I know some hospitals offer benefits for parents that work in certain medical facilities.  For example, Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA offers childcare for their employees at the hospital. http://www.hoaghospital.org/employment/Benefits.aspx.  You have to pay a fee, but how great is it to have your child close to you while you work.  You don't have to worry about them and you can check on your children anytime you get a chance.

Some places offer partial reimbursements for having their children in childcare while they work.  Some hospitals give you reimbursements for copays for your family when you see your doctor. 

I've also heard ( not a fact yet) that some companies will also provide a babysitter for you when your child is sick AND run errands for you during business hours if you're working!!

The hard part is finding these places that do certain things like this for busy working families.........

Anyone know of places like these?  Anywhere?  Especially in Southern California (that's where i'm at...HAHA).......

I think it would be greatly helpful for working parents .......

Thanks!!!

FLEX APPEAL Coordinating family needs with the ever-changing demands of a job in the health-care industry can be challenging, but employees at this hospital network get lots of help. They can log on to their company's website to change their schedules whenever the need strikes, and 69% of staffers did just that last year. Part-time schedules also help ease the burden at home: More than half of all full-timers switched to part-time work last year—some temporarily, others permanently. Employees can also elect to compress their workweeks, job-share or work from home.

CHILD-CARE KUDOS Parents can drop in on their kids at any time of day, thanks to a company-sponsored near-site child-care center. If they prefer a center that's close to home, a resource and referral service can help moms and dads find other quality day-care facilities.

LEAVES WE LOVE New moms receive 26 weeks of job-guaranteed leave, with two weeks partially paid. Dads get 12 weeks off to spend with their little ones.

TEENS & TWEENS Free one-on-one financial counseling helps parents with college-bound teens come up with a financial plan that fits. On-site college fairs and college coaches give employee kids a leg up.
