Mother's Day Poem: "There Was a Tiny Company"

Little did we know that while we were focusing on our plans for National Care Provider Day and Mother's Day, we missed "Poem in Your Pocket Day" on April 17th, in honor of National Poetry Month.

Felice, our editorial guru, shared with us a poem her son Max wrote for Care.com, so that we would all have a poem to keep in our pockets that day.

Max's poem is an adorable reminder of the fact that we're not just a company whose mission is to help families find care--we're a company supported by our own caring families and caregivers, and absolutely couldn't be successful without them.

So, thanks, Max, for reminding us of what's important! Read on for Max's poem to Care.com:

There Was a Tiny Company
an ode to Jack Prelutsky's "There was a Tiny Baker"

by Max B.

There was a tiny company

That had a tiny dot (.)

They help you find a babysitter

And we like that a lot.

They work so hard

From dawn to dusk

And when they're finally home,

They kick their shoes off

to relax

and give their dog a bone.

(because they do pet care, too.)

This Mother's Day, we're also celebrating family members and caregivers by inviting you to share a story about the care heroes in your life.

Happy Mother's Day!
