Description of Helpr Family Care Platform
Helpr connects working parents to caregivers that meet their family’s needs, and helps companies provide cutting-edge childcare benefits packages to their employees. Through Helpr's app, working parents find and manage trusted backup childcare services, while employers track and subsidize a set number of those backup caregiving hours per year.
Backup care fills unforeseen childcare gaps - when kids are sick and daycare can't take them, or during school holidays when both parents need to be at work. Backup care covers families outside of a primary care system - when nannies are unavailable, school is closed, or a last-minute need. During the COVID-19 crisis, backup care has been essential to parents when daycare centers close and in providing assistance to children with remote schooling.
Helpr has had success incentivizing some of the largest companies in the country to step up and support their parent employees, while ensuring Flexible Savings Account dollars are maximized and spent on backup care needs. Helpr's app, care network, and childcare packages provide backup childcare support to some of the largest technology, media, finance, and healthcare companies in the country.
Based in Los Angeles, Helpr's founders have been innovators in the caregiving space for a combined 30 years. With a team made up of former babysitters and foster parents, we understand it takes a village to raise children, especially in households where both parents work. Helpr envisions a world where becoming a working parent isn't a scary or daunting prospect. It is our dedicated mission to create parental inclusion in the workplace, and make career ascendancy for mothers the norm.
