You need to use the infinitive "to" before the second verb. If "help" is a noun, you don't use the word "to." Example: Do you want help? But, you have to say, "Do you want TO help," because in this case, the word "help" is a verb. Hope this helps. Now, you see, "helps" is a verb with "you" understood, but it's only one verb in the sentence.

Always use the infinitive, the "to" form.
Do you want me to help you?
Because the whole phrase "to help you" is the object of the verb want - "me" is an indirect object.

Use "to" in this sentence.
Why?
Because the phrase "to help" is acting as a noun, so we use the infinitive form.
