Care.com Debuts Bold New Look and Enhanced Product Experience, Unlocking the Brand's Next Chapter
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Care.com, one of the largest online marketplaces to find family care and care jobs, announced a robust rebrand, unveiling a new visual identity and an improved user experience to usher the company into its next phase of growth. This transformation marks the most significant brand evolution in the company's 18-year history and reflects a deepened commitment to meeting the evolving needs of a new generation of families and caregivers.
'This is more than just a new look and feel—it's a renewed promise to our members,' said Brad Wilson, CEO of Care.com.
This comes on the heels of Care.com's 2025 Cost of Care Report uncovering significant mental strain on parents. Released today, Care.com's all-new 2025 Perception of Parenthood Survey also finds only 30% of adults (18-44) without children say they definitely want to become parents. Yet there is hope: 86% cite that comprehensive family care support, beyond just child care, influences that decision—and that is what the new Care.com is now positioned to provide.
The Care.com rebrand signals a significant step forward in building a faster, simpler and more comprehensive platform for families to find care for the whole household to ease their mental load, and for professional caregivers to find meaningful work. Key elements include:
A new brand visual identity with a modern logo symbolizing care and support, a refreshed color palette evoking calm and growth, and real, diverse imagery bringing warmth, optimism and authenticity to the Care.com experience.
An expansion into more types of care, including adult care, kids' activities & camps, senior living communities and daycares as 86% of parents say it would be helpful to have a single platform for finding multiple types of care.
An improved safety program —CareProtect—that empowers members of the Care.com community to make safer hiring choices, with access to new features like continuous background checks, a 24/7 safety hotline, a new safety coalition and more robust education in a revamped Safety Center.
Additional product enhancements that make it easier to find or provide care, including smarter AI-enhanced search tools, plus faster and more reliable messaging.
'This is more than just a new look and feel—it's a renewed promise to our members,' said Brad Wilson, CEO of Care.com. 'Care is one of the most personal decisions a family can make. Through extensive research and conversations, we've taken a closer look than ever at what families and caregivers are really going through, and their stories helped shape everything we're doing now. Each detail—from the redesigned logo to the improved platform experience—was built to reflect their lives, their challenges and their hopes. This new chapter is all about showing up for them in a deeper, more thoughtful way.'
This is just the beginning of a longer-term vision to transform Care.com from a transactional platform to a more holistic, guided platform. More improvements are slated for the rest of 2025 and beyond, including:
Expanded advisory services to help families that aren't sure what type of care is right for them in the first place.
A new hiring hub to help families better manage jobs—including comparing applicants and creating shortlists.
New video communication tools to help families and caregivers connect on-platform.
New plan options to give more families easier access to the Care.com platform.
This next chapter in Care.com's journey comes with the launch of a new campaign, 'When it's not you, it's Care.com.' It's built on a universal truth that families want to be there for the people they love, but they can't always do it alone, evoking a shared understanding that Care.com is here to provide support.

Stem, Inc. Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split
HOUSTON, June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM) (the "Company" or "Stem") today announced that it will implement a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 23, 2025 (the "Effective Time"), in order to regain compliance with the minimum average closing price requirement under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). The Company's common stock is expected to begin trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis as of the opening of trading on June 23, 2025 under the Company's existing trading symbol "STEM" with new CUSIP number 85859N300. The Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20 at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 4, 2025. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") subsequently determined the final reverse split ratio on June 9, 2025. At the Effective Time, every 20 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into 1 share of common stock. This is expected to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 167 million to approximately 8.4 million. Also at the Effective Time, the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock will be reduced from 500,000,000 to 250,000,000. In addition, adjustments proportionate to the 1-for-20 split ratio will be made to the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company's equity incentive plans; the number of shares issuable, and the applicable exercise prices under the Company's outstanding equity awards under such plans and any outstanding warrants; the conversion rates of outstanding convertible notes, in accordance with the related indentures; the strike prices of existing capped call options; the number of shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the convertible notes and capped call options; the shares reserved for issuance under any equity plan, outstanding equity award, convertible notes, capped call options or otherwise, and as otherwise described in the Company's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement"). The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued, if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each such stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding their shares electronically are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and will receive payment for any fractional shares in accordance with their respective bank's, broker's, or nominee's particular processes.
