Enginehire and Bright Horizons Have Partnered to Make Corporate Childcare Better

Big news. Enginehire and Bright Horizons have teamed up to make corporate childcare way easier and faster for agencies, families, and the companies that offer it as a benefit.

Bright Horizons has been in the childcare space for decades. They really get what families need and how companies can support them. They have trusted relationships with some of the biggest employers around, like Apple and many others. When these companies offer childcare credits to their employees, Bright Horizons helps make it happen.

Enginehire is the leading software used by nanny and sitter agencies worldwide. We know the agency space inside and out because we live it every day. We work closely with industry groups like the International Nanny Association, the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies, and UK Nanny. You’ve probably seen us at conferences talking about what works best in the industry.

Now, Enginehire and Bright Horizons are joining forces to make corporate childcare jobs easier to post, match, and fill.

The Old Way: Slow and Limited

A look at the slow and complicated backup care process before this game-changing partnership.

Here’s how backup care jobs, mostly sitter jobs, were handled before:

An employee at a company like Apple needs childcare.
Their employer gives them Bright Horizons credits as a benefit.
Bright Horizons posts the job to a limited group of partner agencies.
The agency fills the role after lots of calls, emails, and back-and-forth.

This system worked but was slow and limited to only certain agencies. It required a lot of manual work and wasn’t easy to scale.

The New Way: Seamless Corporate Childcare

Discover how Enginehire and Bright Horizons are streamlining job matching for faster, smarter results.

With this partnership, corporate childcare jobs go straight into an agency’s Enginehire system.

Agencies can:

Hand-pick the perfect caregiver for each family
Or automate the matching process based on availability, skills, and location

What this means for agencies:
✅ Less time spent posting and chasing jobs
✅ Faster matches and confirmations for families
✅ More time to focus on growing your agency and delivering quality care

Fair Job Distribution

Why a fair, transparent way to share jobs is key as more agencies join the network.

We know “first come, first served” doesn’t work long-term. That’s why we’re working on:

Tier-based systems to balance access fairly
Round-robin job distribution so everyone gets a fair shot
Gathering feedback from agencies to keep improving how jobs are shared

Raising the Bar on Safety

How real-time background checks are raising the bar for trust and security.

We’re also discussing real-time DBS verification, going beyond annual checks to ensure agencies have the most up-to-date background information possible—a key step in keeping corporate childcare safe and high-quality.

Why This Matters

What this partnership means for agencies, families, and companies offering childcare benefits.

For agencies: More access to high-quality corporate childcare jobs with less admin work.
For families: Faster, more reliable matches with trusted caregivers.
For companies: A seamless employee benefit that supports work-life balance.

The Enginehire and Bright Horizons partnership is about more than technology—it’s about building a corporate childcare ecosystem where everyone wins.
