Flexible Mobile Childcare Services for Working Families

A mobile daycare generally refers to childcare that is arranged or delivered flexibly rather than through a single fixed daycare facility. With Helpr, Mobile Childcare Services are accessed through an app-based employee benefit platform. Employers can offer backup care, on-site care for corporate events, care subsidies, and payment support, helping working families address changing care needs without relying on one center.

An employer provides a care benefit through Helpr, and eligible employees use the platform when they need support. Helpr’s use-based model means organizations pay for care services that are actually used. The advertised appointment cost includes taxes and Helpr’s service fee for the base appointment, while gratuity is optional and paid through the site. A four-hour minimum payment applies to sitter services.

Eligibility is determined by the employer’s Helpr program. Helpr is designed to make family care benefits accessible across a workforce, including hourly employees, frontline teams, and executives. Depending on the benefit configuration, employees may use services for backup childcare, event care, custom care placement, trusted out-of-network caregivers, or other dependent-care needs supported by their organization.

Yes. Helpr’s patented My Choice technology is designed for employees who want to use family members, friends, or another trusted person in their personal support network. When their employer offers this option, employees can use available subsidies to pay that caregiver through the Helpr app. This gives families more flexibility while making benefits accessible beyond a traditional provider directory.

Corporate Event Childcare, or Event Care, provides on-site family care support for company events and work trips. It helps parents and caregivers attend, stay engaged, and participate without having to leave because of caregiving responsibilities. Employers can use event care to make gatherings more inclusive for team members who might otherwise be unable to take part.

Helpr includes a built-in payment tool that enables families to use Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account benefits inside the app. A DCFSA can help eligible employees use pre-tax funds for qualifying dependent-care expenses, subject to their plan rules and applicable tax requirements. Integrating these benefits into the care experience helps employees maximize available funds and better manage care costs.

For families seeking a more customized, longer-term arrangement, Helpr offers Care Finder concierge placement. Dedicated care specialists provide one-to-one assistance to source and vet care options based on the family’s needs. This service is intended to help employees move beyond a short-term care gap and identify a care arrangement with the right fit and ongoing support.

Employers can explore a family care benefit program that aligns with their workforce, locations, and benefit goals. Helpr supports a range of options, including backup care, subsidies, event care, My Choice payments, and concierge placement. Program design can prioritize equitable access, employee flexibility, and practical administration through a single mobile-first platform for care management and payments.
