Flexible Childcare Consultation Services for Employers

A pediatric consultation is a medical appointment with a pediatric clinician to discuss a child’s health, development, symptoms, treatment options, or preventive care. It is different from childcare consultation services. Helpr does not provide medical advice or pediatric care; Helpr helps employers design and deliver family-care benefits, including backup childcare, flexible subsidies, and personalized care-placement support.

Childcare consultation services help employers evaluate workforce care challenges and choose benefit options that fit their employees’ needs. Helpr supports solutions such as employer-subsidized backup care, care stipends, personalized placement, event childcare, and DCFSA-integrated payments. The goal is to make care more accessible and manageable while helping reduce care-related absenteeism, stress, and retention pressure.

Employer-subsidized backup care gives eligible employees support when a regular childcare plan falls through or is temporarily unavailable. Helpr’s platform connects working families with care options and helps administer the employer’s subsidy. Helpr uses a use-based model, so organizations pay for care services actually utilized. Base appointment pricing includes taxes and Helpr’s service fee; optional gratuity is separate.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology is designed to let employees use subsidies with caregivers they personally trust, such as family members, friends, or their existing support network. This approach recognizes that families often have care arrangements outside a traditional provider directory. Employers can offer more equitable flexibility while employees retain meaningful choice over their care.

Helpr can support employer-subsidized backup care, global care stipends, My Choice out-of-network payments, one-to-one concierge care placement, corporate event childcare, and DCFSA-integrated payments. These options can be combined to address short-notice disruptions, ongoing care searches, work travel, and everyday caregiving costs. Benefit design should reflect your workforce’s locations, schedules, and family-care needs.

Helpr’s Care Finder service provides dedicated, one-to-one assistance for employees seeking longer-term care arrangements. Care specialists help source and vet customized options so families can pursue a care fit that works for their circumstances. This service is particularly useful when employees need more than short-term backup care and want guided support navigating a complex care search.

Yes. Helpr provides family-care support across 150+ countries and offers global care stipends that employees can use within their own personal networks. This can be valuable for distributed teams because care availability and family support systems differ by location. A flexible model helps employers extend care benefits more equitably across roles, geographies, and work arrangements.

Helpr offers a built-in tool for employees to use Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account benefits within the app. Integrating DCFSA funds can help eligible families apply tax-advantaged dollars toward qualifying dependent-care expenses and stretch their care budget further. Employees should review their plan rules and eligible expenses, since DCFSA requirements are determined by the applicable benefits plan and tax guidance.
