Comprehensive Postpartum Support Benefits for Employees

Postpartum support benefits are employer-sponsored care solutions designed to assist new parents transitioning back to professional roles after childbirth or adoption. These benefits often include subsidized backup child care, direct reimbursements for personal caregivers or family help, and dedicated placement assistance to ensure infant care remains continuous, accessible, and dependable during critical early months.

Helpr supports returning parents by offering flexible backup care and subsidized care solutions tailored to infant needs. Through our platform, employees can access vetted providers or utilize our My Choice framework to reimburse trusted relatives, friends, or selected postpartum caregivers, ensuring complete flexibility as schedules evolve.

Yes. Through Helpr's patented My Choice technology, employees can choose the care providers they already know and trust, including family members, neighbors, or independent sitters. Parents upload their chosen provider directly into the platform, and subsidies are applied seamlessly, extending dependable support beyond standard vendor limitations.

Helpr operates on a use-based payment model, meaning employers fund a designated allocation of care days or stipends and only pay for care services that employees actually utilize. This structure maximizes corporate benefit budgets while delivering immediate, meaningful financial relief directly to growing working families.

Our dedicated care specialists work one-on-one with employees to assess specific scheduling demands, find qualified care candidates, and oversee provider placement, backed by live phone support during business hours to answer urgent parental questions quickly.

Helpr connects care spending directly to employee Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts. This seamless integration allows subsidized and out-of-pocket infant care expenses to be processed and substantiated within a single flow, eliminating paper receipts, cumbersome forms, and reimbursement delays at year-end.

Lack of reliable infant care is a primary reason new parents delay returning or leave the workforce entirely. Providing reliable, subsidized care options relieves financial and emotional stress, helping working parents smoothly resume their responsibilities while building long-term organizational loyalty and reducing costly employee turnover.

Covered services include daytime infant supervision, subsidized backup child care for unexpected gaps, care provided by trusted family members via reimbursement programs, and specialized care arrangements placed through our experienced navigation coordinators to suit each family's individual requirements.
