Daycare Consultant Services for Families and Employers

A childcare consultant helps families assess their care needs, understand available options, and identify arrangements that fit their schedule, budget, and preferences. For employers, a childcare consultant service can also help structure benefits that address backup care, long-term placement, subsidies, and payment access. Helpr provides personalized care support alongside technology that makes benefits easier for employees to use.

Helpr offers multiple paths to care support. Employees can use employer-subsidized backup care for unexpected gaps, work with a dedicated specialist through Care Finder for long-term arrangements, or use My Choice subsidies with a caregiver from their own trusted network. The platform also supports flexible stipends and DCFSA-integrated payments, helping families use available funds more effectively.

Employer-subsidized backup care is a workplace benefit that helps employees access care when their regular arrangement is unavailable. Employers contribute toward the cost, while Helpr’s platform connects families with quality care options. This support can reduce care-related absences and stress during school closures, caregiver cancellations, work travel, or other disruptions that make normal childcare plans unavailable.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology allows eligible employees to apply subsidies toward care from people they already know and trust, such as family members, friends, or caregivers in their personal network. This approach gives families greater flexibility than a directory-only model and helps make care benefits more accessible across different household situations and locations.

Yes. Helpr’s Care Finder service provides one-to-one concierge support for families seeking longer-term care arrangements. Dedicated care specialists help source and vet options based on the family’s individual needs. This personalized guidance is designed for employees who need more than a short-term backup solution and want assistance navigating a more durable childcare plan.

Yes. Helpr provides on-site Event Care for corporate events and work trips. By making childcare available where an event takes place, employers can help caregivers attend and participate without having to leave family responsibilities behind. Event care can support more inclusive participation at meetings, gatherings, off-sites, and other employer-sponsored occasions.

Helpr’s DCFSA-integrated payment tool helps eligible families use Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account funds within the app. Rather than managing a separate payment process, employees can apply these tax-advantaged benefits while arranging care. Using DCFSA funds can help families stretch their available care dollars and make ongoing childcare expenses more manageable.

Helpr supports organizations across industries, including retail, healthcare, technology, finance, entertainment, nonprofits, and more. Its care model is designed for workforces with varied roles, schedules, and locations—from hourly and frontline employees to executives. Employers can use care benefits to support workforce well-being, improve retention, and promote more equitable access to caregiving help.
