Nidhi - How backup care gave my family flexibility as new working parents

Q: How did Helpr help your family?
Helpr has given our family financial relief and was so easy to set up. With a new baby and transitioning back to work after parental leave, I didn’t have time to fill out a bunch of paperwork or figure out the best way to save money on care. The outstanding customer support team got me set up with my benefit seamlessly and I was able to begin using my subsidized care hours immediately. 

Q: What is the biggest impact you received from your backup care benefit?

Helpr has allowed us to easily use my aunt as our nanny. Other care benefits we have worked with in the past have not allowed us to use a family member as our trusted caregiver. We feel blessed to get to pay my aunt who is a professional caregiver through my employee benefit. Without Helpr, I’m not sure how I would have found care that I felt safe using for my pandemic baby. 

Q: Why should a company consider offering the Helpr benefit?

The ease of use and flexibility when it comes to diverse care needs. Parents need help with the cost of care no matter what, but also working parents don’t have time to work with complex platforms. Helpr has saved us a significant amount of money, given us the ability to use our preferred caregiver, and we can take care of everything in one app. Helpr has made life as a new working mother easier.
