Heynannyly

Heycare, formerly known as Heynannyly, operates as a B2B employee benefits platform designed to enhance work-life compatibility for employees. The company was founded in 2022 by Anna Schneider and Julia Kahle. The idea stemmed from Schneider's experience as a babysitter, where she noticed parents struggled to find flexible childcare, and Kahle's personal challenges as a working mother of two. Their shared experiences in HR and caregiving highlighted a market gap, leading to the creation of the platform.

The business offers a comprehensive corporate benefit application that addresses four main pillars of care: Mental Health, Child Care, Elder Care, and Pet Care. Heycare's business model is centered on selling subscriptions to companies, which then offer the service to their employees as a benefit. This approach helps client companies position themselves as attractive employers, reduce employee absenteeism due to care-related emergencies, and improve talent retention. The platform provides tax advantages for both employers and employees. Revenue is generated through annual subscription fees paid by corporate clients.

The heycare app functions as an employee self-service tool, minimizing the administrative burden on HR departments. Employees can directly access and book a variety of services. For childcare, the platform features a network of vetted and liability-insured caregivers for children up to 14, available for both short-notice and regular needs, including holiday care and homework supervision. The elder care service provides senior companions and at-home care, while the pet care benefit offers reliable solutions for pet sitting. Beyond direct care, the app provides resources for mental and physical health, such as professional counseling, health programs, and live webinars on topics like stress management and family-career balance. The platform serves over 200 companies in the DACH region, including major corporations like SAP, Allianz, Johnson & Johnson, and Daimler Truck.
