Mother for hire: Start-up takes care of 'personal chores' for young professionals, students - January 17, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

In a typical week, Ilene Scoratow does 30 loads of laundry, cleans two to four apartments and delivers groceries to at least four regular customers.

She has three children of her own, including an infant. But in her free time after her day job, Ms. Scoratow runs a service called Another Mother, where she performs some of the basic tasks one might expect of a parent.

I was reading a book on entrepreneurship because I wanted to start my own business, Ms. Scoratow said. All the advice she read suggested sticking with something youre good at. So I thought about it: I like to teach and I like being a mom.

She started about a year ago and sticks primarily to the East End, where she lives. From 6:30 a.m to 3 p.m., she goes to her day job as a Spanish teacher at Colfax Elemetary.

At 3 p.m., she takes whatever appointments she has that afternoon from her business. Shes not working entirely alone; her husband helps with the day-to-day business and at home, and she has brought two other teachers on as independent contractors.

Currently she has a clientele of about 40 people, including younger working professionals and university students. Its pretty evenly split among Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and Duquesne and Chatham, she said.

While shes done some modest local advertising, Ms. Scoratow says most of her referrals are via word-of-mouth. She charges an $8 delivery fee for groceries, and $1.50 per pound of laundry. New customers, most of whom come to her via her website, pay a $20 deposit via Paypal, then she invoices them for the balance after shes finished the job.

The personal chore business is no longer just the domain of professional maid services, but has become a fast-growing part of the so-called sharing economy.

For instance, San Francisco-based Taskrabbit lets users outsource small jobs and errands like food deliveries and furniture assembly via a smartphone app. Homejoy, also based in San Francisco, offers home cleaning services. Neither one offers its services yet in Pittsburgh.

Another Mothers true target audience, whether students or young professionals, is millennials, a generation that gets a lot of bad press for the perception that theyre too dependent on their parents and may be taking a long time to transition into adulthood successfully. A 2012 Clark University study found some 30 percent of the parents of millennials, loosely defined as 18- to 29-year-olds, provide at least occasional financial support to their children.

Indian Woman Looks to Sue Uber in the U.S. Over Alleged New Delhi Rape - January 17, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

TIME World India Indian Woman Looks to Sue Uber in the U.S. Over Alleged New Delhi Rape The 26-year-old alleged victim has reportedly enlisted the services of high-profile American lawyer Douglas Wigdor

An Indian woman who was allegedly raped by an Uber taxi driver is considering the possibility of taking the tech firm to court in the U.S., according to British daily the Guardian.

Authorities in the Indian capital banned the taxi service in December, when the woman accused Uber driver Shiv Kumar Yadav, 32, of attacking her. Yadav pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, kidnapping and criminal intimidation.

As the criminal trial unfolds, the victim is reported to have approached Douglas Wigdor, a high-profile American lawyer who represented Nafissatou Diallo, the New York City hotel maid who accused the former International Monetary Fund managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault. Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorneys office went on to drop all charges against Strauss-Kahn, while a civil suit was settled out of court.

I can confirm that I have been retained by the young lady who was raped by an Uber driver in Delhi, India, last December, Wigdor told the Guardian, which said he was looking at the possibility of the New Delhi woman suing Uber for negligence in an American court. Having met extensively with her and her family while in Delhi, I can only compliment them for their bravery and fortitude during this very difficult time. We will use all of our resources to vindicate my clients rights, hold those responsible for their actions and ensure that this doesnt happen again.
