Flexible Community Child Care Center Solutions

Child care is the supervision, care, and support of children when a parent or guardian is working, unavailable, or needs assistance. It may be provided by a licensed center, an in-home caregiver, a relative, a friend, or another trusted provider. Child care can include daily supervision, age-appropriate activities, meals, transportation coordination, and routines that promote a child’s safety and well-being.

Employer-subsidized backup care gives eligible employees support when their usual child care arrangement falls through or cannot be used. Through Helpr, organizations can offer access to care options and contribute toward the cost of care used. The use-based model means the organization pays for services employees actually utilize, while families receive a benefit designed to reduce disruption during unexpected care gaps.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology is designed to give families flexibility in selecting care from people they trust, such as relatives, friends, or members of their existing support network. Where an employer’s benefit plan allows it, employees can use eligible subsidies through the Helpr app. This approach recognizes that each family’s trusted care arrangement may look different.

Helpr supports several child care scenarios, including employer-subsidized backup care, longer-term concierge care placement, on-site care for corporate events, and flexible care stipends. Integrated DCFSA payments can also help employees use eligible dependent-care funds. Available options depend on the employer’s selected program and the employee’s location, benefit eligibility, and individual family-care needs.

Helpr’s Care Finder service offers one-to-one support for families seeking a longer-term care arrangement. Dedicated care specialists help source and vet options based on a family’s schedule, preferences, and care requirements. Rather than asking employees to manage the search alone, the service provides guided assistance toward a custom placement that better matches their household’s ongoing needs.

Yes. Helpr provides on-site Event Care for corporate events and work trips, helping attendees participate without having to step away because of caregiving responsibilities. Event childcare can make gatherings more inclusive for working parents and caregivers. Organizations can incorporate this support into conferences, meetings, celebrations, and other events where employee attendance and engagement are important.

Helpr offers integrated DCFSA payment functionality that helps eligible families put dependent-care flexible spending account benefits to work within the app. This can make it easier to use available tax-advantaged funds for qualifying care expenses and stretch care budgets further. Employees should review their specific DCFSA plan rules and eligible-expense requirements before submitting or using funds.

Child care benefits can help employers address care-related absenteeism, lost workdays, and stress that affect employee productivity and retention. By offering flexible support, organizations demonstrate that family responsibilities are recognized across roles and locations. Helpr’s options are designed to expand equitable access, support work-life balance, and give employees practical resources when routine care arrangements change or become unavailable.
