: "We started as babysitters ourselves, moved into owning our own childcare agency, fostered two beautiful girls, and leveraged our experience to develop a mobile experience called Helpr, that helps you find and book pre-screened babysitters, on-demand. We have carefully screened and curated babysitters, that once booked through an app, arrive at your door in as little as three hours.
We believe that every family deserves access to high level childcare, so our mission is to make it reliable and easily accessible. We are live in 3 locations - LA, Orange County, and Santa Barbara and launching our next secret location for Holiday 2016. We have 7 employees at HQ and hundreds of babysitters in our markets. We’re thrilled to announce our first major corporate partner very shortly." _
