Description

Helpr provides in-home personal childcare with a vetted professional in as little as 3 hours or up to 3 months in advance. Register in just a few moments using the Helpr app or call Support for assistance. The team is excited to connect and learn about your family!

Example use cases: gap care, school/daycare closures and holidays, mild sick days, health appointments, late or early working hours, & wellness needs such as “me-time,” exercise, date-nights, and self care.

Upon registering, you’ll be able to add local sitters to your “Favorites” list so that you can send a specific request, but rest assured that you’re covered to schedule a helpr to arrive with as little as 3 hours notice during Helpr’s office hours.

We are creating the gold standard of in-home childcare.

It works like this:
1. Tell us about your family.
2. Book the times and dates you need.
3. A trusted childcare provider will be matched to you. Review her profile and video. If it's a match, then great! Remember, everyone meets our high standard for care.
4. Sitter arrives to your home, hotel, or office to meet the family!
5. All payments are accepted by credit on the app. Tip is already included.

Helpr babysitters go through the following high-touch screening process:
+ Online application
+ In-person interview
+ ID verification
+ Criminal background check
+ CPR certification
+ Professional childcare reference calls
+ Social media review

Peace of mind

Helpr has been a great benefit to help me with very unexpected and high costs of home health care for my adult family member. The app is very easy to use, and I was able to upload my own provider easily. In a time where many other parts of the process felt out of control, this has been a great peace of mind.”

Great Idea Horrible Execution

I love the idea of being able to book a vetted sitter without too much of a notice. The app quotes being able to hire a sitter with as little as a 3 hour notice.
However, the multiple times I’ve used the app that has NEVER been the case. My husband and I have been trying to book a sitter for Friday since Monday morning. It’s now Thursday and we still do not have a confirmed booking. Other times we have booked with them, we usually need to send several follow up messages asking if they’ve found us an available sitter yet.
If it weren’t for my husbands work subsidizing a majority of the Helpr cost, I would 100% not recommend this app to anyone.
