Flexible Childcare Services in Montana

Helpr provides employer-sponsored childcare benefit options for employees in Montana, including backup care, flexible care stipends, My Choice funding for trusted personal caregivers, concierge placement for longer-term arrangements, event childcare, and DCFSA-integrated payments. These services are delivered through Helpr’s app-based platform and are designed to help working families manage care needs around changing schedules and responsibilities.

An employer establishes a Helpr care benefit, and eligible employees use the platform when a care need arises. The employer subsidy can reduce the employee’s out-of-pocket cost, while Helpr facilitates access to available care options and payment administration. Helpr uses a use-based model, meaning organizations pay for care services that are actually utilized rather than a fixed amount for unused care.

My Choice is Helpr’s patented technology that allows employees to use eligible care subsidies with someone they already know and trust, such as a family member, friend, or existing caregiver. Rather than limiting support to a single directory, it gives families more choice in arranging care. The Helpr app helps manage the benefit and payment process.
