“The World’s Toughest Job”

Mom runs the household

Mom plans the family schedules

Mom manages the kids schedules

Mom trusts her friends more than third parties

Mom’s tools are text messages, emails, and listing services

But, those tools are not good enough.

Mom is the CHO* (Chief Household Officer)


You already have a set of sitters/helpers you trust

You only go to find more when you run out of options

You ask neighbors and friends before visiting listing sites

When you go to a listing site like Care.com, you find resources, quit the service, and share the contacts

When you plan a thing, you contact each helper one at a timeYou have a preferred order to your roster

A little about managing help at home.

What are “Essential Relationships”?

They are the handful of people in yourclose-in network who you trust to help you no

matter when you need it.


We call them Helpers.

What are Close-in Networks?

Close-in networks are the resources you build around the things that matter most.

For example, Childcare, Eldercare, Petcare, and even Small Business Management are all

close-in networks.



Ask vs. TellSocial networks today have become trophy

networks to publish successes and wins. Rarely do people use them to ask for help.

#alittlehelp


Trust & ProtectionThe bigger a network gets, the less

trustworthy it becomes.

Give & GetIf you build your network, share your

relationships, and offer to help others, you increase the likelihood of getting help when you need it.

A quick demo


What’s next?1. Co-parent event management

2. A broader set of available skills

3. Time tracking and payment management for full-time care

4. Helper availability and profile pages for direct booking

5. Barter/credit system to trade time (instead of buying it)

6. GPS-connected carpooling


Why are we here?

We think the way people manage their resources at home needs work.

While there are services to find help, no one is helping the parent efficiently and securely manage date nights, sudden emergencies,

special events, and scheduled childcare.

That’s what we’re working on and we need your help.


Mom matters (and you’re their voice).

#alittlehelp

We are building this with our networks in Pittsburgh, New York and Austin, but we need more advice and direction to

make it truly valuable.

We’d love to build an advisory board of influencers to sculpt the product into exactly what you need.


What did/do you think?

What worked and what didn’t?Any capabilities we should add?


How —and how much— would you pay for it?

The differences between subscription, ad-supported, and transactional.


The ask? Help us.Use it.

Give feedback.

Complain.

Refer.
