Professional Sitter Services for Families and Employers

Professional sitter services provide supervised care for children or other dependents when a family’s regular care arrangement is unavailable or additional support is needed. Through Helpr, employers can offer backup care benefits that help employees access quality care options, including childcare, elder care, and adult dependent support. The goal is to reduce caregiving disruptions while giving families practical, dependable choices.

An employer provides a care benefit through Helpr, and eligible employees use the platform to arrange care when they need it. The use-based model means organizations pay for care that is actually used. Advertised appointment pricing includes taxes and Helpr’s service fee for the base appointment; a four-hour minimum payment applies, and optional gratuity is separate.

This approach gives families more control over who provides care while helping employers offer an equitable benefit that can work in different communities and personal circumstances.

Depending on the employee’s needs, support may include vetted providers, center-based options, a trusted caregiver from the family’s personal network, or one-to-one guidance for a customized long-term arrangement through Care Finder.

Event childcare helps employees with caregiving responsibilities attend the occasion, remain present, and participate more fully. It is a useful option for meetings, conferences, celebrations, and other employer gatherings where inclusive attendance and engagement are important.

Helpr’s platform supports employees across 150+ countries, making it suitable for organizations with distributed or global workforces. Availability and care options can vary by location and the benefit design selected by the employer. Global Care Stipends and My Choice can provide added flexibility where a family prefers to use their own trusted care network.

Employers can structure Helpr benefits to support workers across roles, locations, and schedules, from hourly employees to executives. The platform combines backup care, stipends, personal-network payments, and concierge support so organizations can create a more inclusive care strategy. This can help reduce lost workdays and support retention across a diverse workforce.

For needs that go beyond a single backup-care appointment, Helpr offers Care Finder, a one-to-one concierge placement service. Dedicated care specialists help employees source and vet customized care arrangements. This added guidance can be especially valuable for families navigating ongoing childcare, elder care, or adult dependent care responsibilities.
