The Importance of Parents Adding Self-Care Time in Their Busy Schedules
“With everything that is going on in the world currently, the need for self-care has only gotten stronger and become more significant. Parents, especially young mothers, should certainly take time off and add self-care to their schedules,” Joon Ming also told theAsianparent.
He added, “From managing the household, to keeping a check on your children, to daily household chores, adults often find themselves time-strapped to take care of themselves. In such a scenario, Urban Company’s at-home services give parents that necessary break that can help recharge their batteries.”
As a self-confessed addicted Urban Company user himself, Joon Ming shared, “I saw the life-changing value of UC in bringing on-demand, high
quality convenience to fellow time starved Singaporeans (especially parents) and wanted to be in the driving seat to effect this change.”
