Child Care

Babysitting

W&L provides employees access to babysitters, house-sitters, tutors, etc. through Care.com. To check out their services, go to www.care.com/wlu and register using your W&L email address. You can search for providers in this area, or, if you are traveling out of town and would like to take your children with you, search for providers in the city you are visiting!

Care.com is recruiting for providers in this area. Encourage your favorite sitter to register as a provider at www.care.com. W&L students should use http://www.care.com/edu/washington-and-lee-university.

Nursing Parents

W&L supports nursing parents by providing lactation rooms for employees, students, and campus visitors.

Parental Leave

Eligible employees must request parental leave in writing to their supervisor (staff) or department head (faculty) ninety (90) days in advance of the requested leave start date (or as early as possible in the planning phase of an adoption process). The Executive Director of Human Resources approves staff requests and the appropriate Dean approves faculty requests for parental leave. Parental leave is independent of other time off or sick leave benefits and runs concurrently with FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act).
