So I have been thinking of a business idea and wanted to see what you guys thought of it.
I currently work full time so I would have to start this gig as a side hustle. Basically, I would be caring for the elderly on the weekends, beginning on Friday. Services would include the following:
How do you guys see this business model working? Theres such demand from what I have read, but at the same time pricing seems low. I doubled pricing, but will I still be able to compete?
What do you guys think?
I currently work full time so I would have to start this gig as a side hustle. Basically, I would be caring for the elderly on the weekends, beginning on Friday. Services would include the following:
- Washing, meal prepping, grocery shopping, taking them out to appointments, etc.
- Staying with them over night and monitoring them in case they need anything.
- Being a friend to them, listening to their stories, etc.
- Individuals that will be alone for the weekend.
- I would target the younger children that need to find a place for their mom/dad/grandma/grandpa.
- Trust, sincerity, patience.
- Never in my life have I been in trouble with the law. Luckily background check would pass with flying colors.
- If staying over night, I would offer camera access so that family members have peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are being cared for the way they should.
- If picking up groceries, GPS tracking to track that I am not just messing around or going to other places and wasting time.
- If doing washing, meal prepping, grocery shopping, etc, I would charge 50 dollars per hour. Why would people pay that much? Well, these companies are usually booked out weeks at a time so I would be targeting customers that need a last minute option (Almost as an emergency service)
- If staying over night, I would charge 350 dollars beginning at 9 PM.
