Care.com is the world's largest online destination for finding
and managing family care, with 15.2 million members, spanning 16
countries. The company’s ability to help HomeAway® guests find a
babysitter fills a large need – more than 70 percent of people
using HomeAway.com travel with their family or a group and the
average party has at least one child, according to company
data.*
In addition, finding and gaining access to local events and
attractions in vacation destinations will be easier thanks to
integrations with Ticket Evolution and GetYourGuide.
Ticket Evolution operates one of the world’s largest ticketing
exchanges, enabling HomeAway guests to seamlessly find tickets to
more than 65,000 events worldwide. Meanwhile, GetYourGuide collects
and categorizes all the world’s things to do so travelers research
less and do more, from skipping attraction lines and guided tours
to cooking classes and canal cruises.
“Our goal is to give HomeAway users access to concierge-like
services by partnering with world-class companies,” said Brian
Sharples, HomeAway co-founder and chief executive officer. “Having
the ability to quickly get tickets to a Broadway show and book a
sitter for the night from our app is a step towards that goal.”
“Finding a sitter while on vacation is a challenge that many
families face, so we’re thrilled that with Care.com’s integration
into the HomeAway app, planning and enjoying a family vacation has
never been more simple,” added Caroline Sheu, chief marketing
officer of Care.com. “As the first travel app that enables families
to search through more than 6 million providers on Care.com,
families can now easily find, contact and access background check
options for millions of vacation sitters no matter where they
are.”
The integrations are live and available in the HomeAway app.
Since acquiring Glad to Have You in March 2014, the HomeAway app
has undergone a dramatic transformation. Now travelers can access
logistical information about the vacation rental and suggestions
for dining and entertainment in the surrounding area provided by
the property owner or manager. Travelers also have the ability to
get a ride with Uber and have groceries delivered via Instacart,
thanks to partnerships announced last fall.
“The HomeAway app has been downloaded more than 2 million times
and is used dozens of times by the traveler even after a property
is booked,” added Sharples. “Our mobile platform is quickly
becoming an integral part of the vacation rental experience.”
