Childcare Support for Caregivers in Crisis

Because no parent should have to choose between their health and their child’s care.

 

Medical appointments. Out-of-state treatment. Emergency hospitalizations. When health crises hit, families often scramble to find safe, reliable childcare—especially if support systems are far away or unavailable.

At the Nathan Leaf Foundation, we don’t provide childcare directly—but we provide links to help you find the resources and referrals that do. Whether you need short-term help for a single appointment or a longer-term plan for treatment travel, we’re here to guide you through it.

​

What We Help You Find
With compassion and discretion, we we provide links to connect you to childcare solutions tailored to your situation, including:
 

👶 Local Licensed Providers
We can we provide links to help you through the process to locate trustworthy, vetted providers near your treatment location or home.
 

🏥 Hospital-Affiliated Childcare
Some hospitals offer limited on-site childcare. We’ll provide links to help you find out what’s available where you’re going.
 

📚 School & After-School Referrals
For families navigating treatment while kids are in school, we provide links to help locate transportation support and after-school care options.

🚫 No bias. No strings attached.
We’re not tied to any one provider or system. That means our only priority is you and your children.
 
What We Don’t Do (Transparency Matters)
We do not:
•    Provide or arrange direct childcare services
•    Vet or background-check providers directly
•    Guarantee placement or availability
Instead, we offer information and research support—so you don’t have to do it alone
