Every day, all around the world, new business ideas are being brought to life, and any idea that can genuinely help improve someone’s life should be encouraged – that’s where the website www.care.com comes in.
At some point, every person and every family will have care needs, be it for children, seniors, pets or even homes. At care.com their mission is to improve the lives of families and caregivers by helping them connect in a reliable and easy way. Founder and CEO Sheila Lirio Marcelo wanted to transform the way families and businesses around the world address their care needs.
Care.com launched in the U.S. in 2007 and today, they are the world’s largest online marketplace for finding and managing family care, with more than 9.7 million members, spanning 16 countries. What’s unusual about care.com is that it caters for both employers and people looking for work, so whether you need a care giver, or you’re looking for a care job, this website covers it all.
Care.com is yet to hit the UAE, so could this be your cue to create a similar business plan that could successfully fill the same gap in the UAE market?
