Care.com design system contribution

Using Trello, the pattern library team self-assigns specific components that we want to write guidelines on. Once a component is chosen, the designer might do something like the following:

1. Compile all of the different examples on our site where we are using something that closely resembles a "field selector"
2. Find best practices for using these types of components
3. Write the guidelines for the pattern library, complete with examples
4. Review the guidelines as a team, once a week
5. Once changes are made, add the guidelines to our master file, and coordinate with our lead developer to make sure the components are built as designed.
