Care.com, a website that helps people find caregivers for family members and provides related services, is offering frontline health care workers and those looking for senior care free 30-day membership amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The site, which is owned by the Barry Diller-chaired IAC, is also offering free access to teachers, after-school workers and others who need to pick up work as a result of schools and other institutions shutting down.
