🤗 你好, Hola, chào, Halo, こんにちは, 안녕하세요 , नमस्ते, สวัสดี! We're thrilled to launch our app on Product Hunt after months of development, just as Asian Heritage Month concludes. 💡What's your why? Why now? AyiConnect was born from our frustration of searching for qualified child and senior caregivers who understood Asian heritage and spoke our home language. It turns out, we weren’t alone. Over 22 million Asians in the US face challenges finding child and senior care. 70% prioritize caregivers who share their cultural values and language fluency for a richer experience for their children and to better understand their aging parents' needs. This extends beyond the Asian community, as families of all backgrounds seek culturally immersive experiences for their loved ones. Busy modern families today juggle work, children, and elderly parents, leaving them with limited time to find the right caregivers. At the same time, many skilled immigrant caregivers lack resources to find fair quality of work. AyiConnect bridges this gap. 📝 How does the AyiConnect app work? Our user-friendly app allows you to: - Select your preferred language - Create a profile - Easily connect with caregivers based on jobs and availability The app even integrates language translation and considers cultural preferences. 🚧What is your current state? We currently offer childcare and senior care services in major US cities, supporting languages like Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Spanish (with more to come!). Tens of thousands of caregivers are already waiting to connect. 🌟Benefits That Go Beyond Caregiving: - Free Support for Families: Our premium family members get access to free coaching and therapy sessions from our partner mental health companies. - Learn & Grow: Our caregiver members receive free ESL classes, and we're adding new skill-development opportunities in the near future! - Peace of Mind, Affordably: Optional occupational accident insurance is available for both families and caregivers at just $0.7/hour. It's a small investment for big security. ▶What is next? While our journey hasn't been without challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of a team lead to COVID-19, our team's commitment to building a supportive community for families and caregivers remains unwavering. Looking ahead, we actively seek partnerships with organizations that offer valuable resources to our community, such as wellness, legal, tax, immigration, and educational resources. If you know someone who needs help or offers relevant resources, please connect them with us! 🤝 We poured our hearts into this project, and we're committed to continuous improvement.
