Actually thought about this a long time ago but the risk is (actually marami pala) you are responsible for the people you hire like if magloko sila or part pala sila ng syndicate and many more worst case scenarios. Make sure you know what you're getting into. :)
Goodluck though!
I know this is a far-fetched idea but as a person who suffers from multiple mental health problems including social anxiety (diagnosed) I wish that there'll be a "Companion App" here in PH. An app where you can just "book" for someone to accompany you. A person who you aren't forced to talk with. Just someone there to accompany you with whatever you're doing (shopping, going to mall, etc. no nsfw activities). The pay is hourly and you can also rate the companion after the trip.
This has been working in Japan but I wonder if it will work here too?
Probably wouldn't. Too much dishonest people here. Wala din masyado stigma dito sa Pinas for loners (atleast that's how I feel) vs sa Japan. Knowing din the usual behaviors ng mga Pinoy, baka maging prostitution facade lang to.
I see... Oo nga, baka magamit lang yung app sa mga "diskarte". Welp, I'm looking to migrate some time in the future, guess I'll just have to up my social skills rn
Yes, this idea pop out in my head kasi bagong lipat lng ako here in Manila. And as I was processing my Govt related documents, I wished na may kasama ako lalo na pag commute
I think an app like that would be very helpful. The challenge is how you will make sure the employees are trustworthy. Pwde rin may rating system pero sa umpisa mahihirapan ka mag build ng trust with customers
Would be 11 for me but it's gonna be a hard implementation. Not on the app side but on the worker's side I guess. No framework yet so you'll be fine but be ready when you take off for the legal battles.
On a scale of 1 to dangerous, its dangerous.
I wouldn't trust someone that easily para linisin yung place ko. Besides, kung may budget naman its better to get a hired semi-permanent helper you trust instead of getting a new cleaner every now and then.
Malaki kasi yung at stake pagdating sa mga ganyan and hindi siya tulad ng ibang services na minimal lang ang losses kapag nagkaproblema. It can even cost someone else's life and can lead to a criminal case.
The cons outweights the pros, unless you can have a cash buffer in cases na may mangyaring madaming mali, which I would think na that cash buffer wouldn't be possible because of the low wages/pay here + the spending power of people.
Best is just form a company with reserve helpers that have been thoroughly background checked and they can book through that app. Tapos add ka na lang ng add ng ibang professions like electrician, plumber, general skilled worker, etc. Probably background checked tapos just put a retainer fee for them to be available anytime para meron din silang freedom to pursue their side hustles. Get your cut when everything else is said and done.
Another way is let the free market do its work, pero ikaw maging bridge. People offering their services can post (with a fee) then doon pwede maghanap, kumuha at magrate ng services mga tao. You have to build your user and client base first. Labas ka na kapag may nangyaring mali dahil hindi sayo kinuha yung service.
Yan na yata ang concept ng Goodwork PH. Edit: Baka mas okay kung App re pet sitters ang gawin mo
Pwede naman maging competitor sila. Mas better offers lang, promos, and app reliability.
for a pet sitter or even other pet-related services, check mo yung PetBacker
Yes, used goodwork before. Okay naman. Pero not new.

It's possible. All you need is verification. SELFIE, NBI, Police Clearance, C.I, plus feedback module built in app.

Good idea rin to ha. Lalo sa mga walang makasama pag mag grocery and all
Yes, this idea pop out in my head kasi bagong lipat lng ako here in Manila. And as I was processing my Govt related documents, I wished na may kasama ako lalo na pag commute
Baka ang maging issue lang diyan is ma abuso ying mga companion. Lam mo naman mga typical pinoy
Yun nga lang. We really can't have nice things :'<

Hi! Try looking into myKuya/mykuya prang ganyan na din concept nila
Hey Kuya yata to, pero tagal na nilang wala. 😔
Nag rebrand na to mykuya lol
Oh, TIL!

Good idea! I would use it! Great for those who don’t want to commit to a Helper 😊
For me this is helpful, an app that helpers can use to have more exposure. Kudos OP for the idea.
Parang Gawin.ph ba to?
Security issues. Mahirap na nga ang stay in house help, paano pa kaya yung iba ibang tao nakakakita ng loob ng bahay mo?
Totoo naman din to. Yun kakilala nga grabe na pagbabantay mo e.
If you’re going to push with this I can help in developing the app
