WALTHAM, Mass., July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Care.com (NYSE: CRCM), the world's largest online destination for finding and managing family care, is once again teaming up with Uber to help families make easier transportation decisions. From July 14-20, 2014, Care.com will offer surcharge-free rides for parents in Philadelphia and D.C. through uberFAMILY, a new service that allows families to request a car equipped with a car seat.

"Families in major metropolitan areas like D.C. and Philadelphia know how difficult it can be to navigate transportation needs with small children," said Donna Levin, Co-Founder and VP of Operations at Care.com.

As the exclusive transportation sponsor of uberFAMILY, Care.com will cover the $10 surcharge per ride and the first five hundred families in Philadelphia and D.C. to take advantage of uberFAMILY will also receive care packages in each car. All riders will obtain a 20% discount off a Care.com premium membership to find quality full-time and part-time babysitters, nannies and other caregivers for their family.

"We're excited to expand our uberFAMILY option to D.C. and Philadelphia to continue delivering more choice and value to our riders," said Rachel Holt, Regional General Manager for Uber East Coast.
