Child Care Services in Arlington

Helpr provides employer-sponsored child care benefit solutions, including subsidized backup care, corporate event care, flexible care stipends, My Choice payments for trusted personal caregivers, one-to-one concierge placement, and DCFSA-integrated payments. The platform is designed for employers that want to help Arlington-area employees manage both unexpected care disruptions and longer-term child care needs.

An employer funds or subsidizes access to Helpr’s backup care benefit, and eligible employees use the platform when their normal child care arrangement falls through. Helpr’s use-based model means organizations pay for care that is actually used. The app helps employees manage care needs while giving employers a structured, equitable benefit for their workforce.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology allows employees to choose someone they already trust, such as a family member, friend, or personal caregiver, and use available subsidies through the Helpr app. This option recognizes that families often have established care networks and need flexibility beyond a traditional provider directory.

Yes. Helpr offers on-site Event Care for corporate events and work trips. This service helps parents attend, stay present, and participate without having to arrange separate care off-site. Employers can use event childcare to make meetings, gatherings, and work travel more accessible to team members with caregiving responsibilities.

Helpr includes a built-in payment tool that helps families use eligible Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account benefits within the app. Integrating DCFSA funds can help employees apply tax-advantaged care dollars toward eligible expenses, while keeping care management and payment activity in one convenient platform.

For families seeking a more lasting arrangement, Helpr’s Care Finder service offers one-to-one concierge support. Dedicated care specialists help source and vet custom care options based on a family’s needs. This personalized service is intended to reduce the time and uncertainty involved in finding a suitable long-term care fit.

Helpr works with enterprises and nonprofits across sectors including technology, healthcare, retail, finance, entertainment, construction, education, and hospitality. The platform supports workforces at different levels and schedules, from frontline and hourly employees to executives. Employers can structure care benefits to support equitable access across their organizations.

Helpr uses a use-based model, so organizations pay for care services that employees actually use.
