CalFLEXI connects essential workers to childcare amid coronavirus shutdown

The coronavirus pandemic has created a host of challenges for workers in Southern California, and one of the biggest is childcare.
With most businesses closed, including daycares, the issue is especially critical for essential employees who have to work and cannot care for their children.
In the greater Long Beach area, those workers can now access CalFLEXI, an online platform that provides hourly childcare with vetted and trained professionals who can be booked by the hour for in-home childcare
