Domestic helpers perform a variety of household services for their employers. However, finding a domestic helper that is reliable and dependable is a cumbersome task for the employer. On the flip side, for a domestic helper, finding a decent job is a tedious exercise.

MamaHelpers.tech is a fast-growing global domestic workers’ database platform that connects employers, immigrant workers/students, and employment agencies on one platform to simplify the domestic help hiring process.

We spoke with Amanda So, Co-Founder and COO at MamaHelpers, to understand how MamaHelpers makes the hiring process easy, hassle-free and efficient. Amanda also shared the importance of professional training when it comes to hiring a new domestic helper. Read on!

What inspired you to start MamaHelpers? Tell us the story.

The idea to start Mamahelpers started with TheCOVOGlobal Facebook page.

Through this Facebook page, we constantly organize small community events which bring local Hong Kong students and overseas immigrant workers together.

By spending time with them, we found that a lot of them were facing difficulties in seeking new job opportunities.

We then went on to create MamaHelpers in order to help students and immigrant workers find job opportunities with ease.
