Easily Hire a Summer Babysitter

Helpr helps working families access flexible childcare through employer-sponsored care benefits. Depending on the program your organization offers, employees may book vetted backup care, use subsidized funds for a trusted sitter through My Choice, or receive concierge help finding longer-term summer care. The goal is to reduce care gaps during school breaks, camp closures, and shifting summer schedules.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology is designed for bring-your-own-caregiver situations. Families can use employer-provided funds to help subsidize care from a trusted friend, family member, or neighborhood sitter, subject to the program rules set by their employer. This makes summer care more flexible when families already have someone reliable in mind.

Helpr supports both short-term and more ongoing family care needs. Employer-subsidized backup care is well suited for sudden gaps such as school closures, sick days, or camp schedule changes. For longer-term or specialized placements, Helpr’s 1:1 Concierge Care Placement helps families search for and vet caregivers who better match summer routines.

Care costs depend on your employer’s benefit structure, the type of care selected, and the caregiver arrangement. For backup care appointments, advertised hourly costs include taxes and Helpr’s service fee, with no additional base appointment charge to the payment method. Some rules may apply, including minimum payments, overtime fees, early return fees, and optional gratuity.

Helpr works with organizations to provide access to trusted, vetted care options through an app-based platform. For families using My Choice, the caregiver may be someone they already know and trust. For concierge or backup care support, Helpr focuses on reliable provider access and care-navigation support to help families find appropriate options.

Helpr is built for sudden care gaps, including school breaks, summer schedule changes, camp closures, or unexpected caregiver cancellations. Availability may depend on your employer’s program and local caregiver supply, but the platform is designed to help employees secure care quickly and reduce lost work time caused by family care disruptions.

Helpr supports childcare, adult care, elder care, and other dependent care needs through employer-sponsored programs. For summer babysitting specifically, families commonly use Helpr for school-age children, camp coverage gaps, and flexible in-home care. Specialized needs may be supported through concierge placement or employer-approved backup care options.

Helpr is primarily offered as an employer-sponsored family care benefit. Employees typically access care options through their organization’s program, which may include subsidized backup care, My Choice reimbursements or payments, global care stipends, and concierge support. Employers use Helpr to improve retention, reduce absenteeism, and support working parents during high-need periods like summer.
