Balancing work or studies with family life is a key challenge in today's professional environment and is becoming increasingly important for parents. FlexiKids supports you when your regular childcare arrangements unexpectedly fall through or when work-related commitments require you to work longer hours or outside your usual schedule. FlexiKids helps you bridge these childcare gaps flexibly and reliably, even at very short notice.
In addition, KIT faculties and organizational units can use FlexiKids to provide childcare services for employees and guests during events and conferences.
