DENVER, April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Examiner.com, the leading online publisher featuring local expertise from over 85,000 contributors, has inked a content relationship with Care.com (http://www.care.com/), an online resource helping families connect and meet with quality local caregivers for children, adults & seniors, pets and home & lifestyle.
