(Via Ian) Interpark is Korea's prominent e-commerce player. Its spin-off affiliate, Interpark HM, brings you closer to achieving that ever-evasing dream of 4-Hour Workweek. The service has been around since last year, but it's come under my radar only recently thanks to Ian's post and some recent news.
Interpark HM provides various outsourcing services for housekeeping chores:
- General housekeeping
- Cooking
- Post-delivery maternity care
- Afterschool childcare
- House cleaning, disinfection, sterilizing
- Appliance cleaning - e.g. Washing machine disassembly and cleaning
- Air conditioning care
One good thing about Interpark HM is that you can order individual, bite-sized services. You want your kid to be taken care of between 4-5 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only? Sure, possible. You want only your bathroom to be cleaned, as you can take care of the rest of the house? About $90 will get your bathroom squeaky clean. Of course, you can buy more whole, aggregate plans.
Afterschool childcare is the newest offering from Interpark HM. Childcare is among the biggest concerns for any working women, yet finding the right nanny is as difficult as finding the right spouse. Interpark HM's CEO, Mr Junghoon Han, says as the father of a 4-year old, he shares the pain and strives to make sure the quality of Interpark HM's childcare service is kept absolutely high. So they obviously have a good cause - and I always wish all companies with good cause to have good financial returns as well.
