Laborfair Launches Online Labor Marketplace to Make it Easy to Find Reliable, Trustworthy Personal Help

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 22, 2007) - Laborfair (www.Laborfair.com), the smart, easy and right way to find personal help, today launched its online labor marketplace for the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Laborfair connects people in need of personal help with quality service providers -- ranging from a housekeeper to a personal chef -- in a way that's simple, fair and financially rewarding.

Many Americans are increasingly losing more personal and family time because of the rising pressures of modern day living. As a result, there has been a growth in the number and variety of qualified individuals available to perform personal support tasks -- from walking the dog to painting the house to preparing daily meals. The challenge is finding those individuals best able to perform those tasks in a reliable and trustworthy way, and at a fair price.

"We know that people rely on the advice of friends when searching for personal help, so we designed Laborfair to function similar to word of mouth -- only better," said Jenna Raby, founder of Laborfair. "Users can quickly search profiles of relevant, local service providers by category that have been reviewed and rated by their friends, neighbors and colleagues. And because they're hiring an independent provider and because Laborfair is free, they are likely to save a significant amount of money."

Now, residents of the Bay Area can choose from hundreds of affordable independent personal service providers across 28 categories. The most popular Laborfair categories are, in order:

--  Child Care
--  Cleaning
--  Handymen
--  Patient Care/Adult Care
    

Laborfair functions similar to an online job board with aspects of a social networking site. Individuals in need of help can search service provider profiles grouped according to geographic location, type of work performed or a combination of both. Individuals can also post a public job lead so that interested service providers can respond to them. All service providers on Laborfair must have at least one reference or review. The service is free for consumers. Laborfair is:

--  Easy to use: Simple searches produce results within one click
--  Transparent: All providers include a profile with photos,
    availability, fees and more
--  Peer-reviewed: Service provider profiles include reviews by past
    customers
--  Responsive: Service providers are rated on responsiveness to ensure
    timely replies
    

"Laborfair will change the way Americans find and hire household or personal services. We remove the mystery from the equation, help deliver peace of mind, and allow everyone to benefit," continued Raby.
