Nominate A "Care Hero" on Care.com

Know An Amazing Caregiver? Nominate Him or Her for The Care Hero Contest Sponsored By Care.com. They could win $500.00 in prizes and YOU the nominee could win $100.00 too!

Care.com wants to reward an exceptional caregiver who is also a Care Hero! Beginning October 29th, you’ll be able to nominate a caregiver who deserves to be called a Care Hero by visiting www.facebook.com/caredotcom and nominating them. Share their photo and a short story of why you think they should win, then make sure to get your friends involved — the comments on your nominee’s photo will help them win the contest!

At the end of November, Care.com will choose a Grand Prize winner to be the 2010 Care.com Care Hero. The winning caregiver will receive a $500 "Care Package" including hotel stay, tickets to a show, and dinner courtesy of Care.com!. As a thank you, they're giving the nominator of the winning Care Hero a $100 restaurant gift certificate as well. Plus, they will choose weekly caregiver winners who will each receive a $100 restaurant gift certificate. If you nominated a weekly winner, you will receive a free, 3-month Premium Membership to Care.com.

Care.com provides a trusted place for families and caregivers (babysitters, nannies, special needs caregivers, tutors, senior caregivers) to easily connect and get advice. The service enables families to find and select the best care possible based on detailed profiles, background checks, and references for hundreds of thousands of caregivers who are seeking to share their services.

So come to Facebook, share a photo of your Care Hero, and tell us what they've done! And be sure to thank them during National Family Caregiver Month!
