20SITUATION ANALYSIS2.1.Swot Analysis
2.1.1.Strength
One of the most competitive advantage that emybabysitter.com has is that
the firm is the pioneer in Malaysia to operate as babysitter service provider via
online and therefore there is no direct competitors currently. Currently most
agencies are adapted to brick and mortar business model concept and offering their
service from offices. However, our firm is based on brick and click business
concept whereby most of our operation is based via online. Other than that, our
company also has efficient human resources and child therapist that can aid our
customers regarding their request and needs related to the babysitter that they want
for their children. This is one of the advantages that the company has over other
competitors. Moreover, our firm also striving in creating brand and image as the
best service provider for customers in helping them to locate the best babysitter
service. This is achieved by providing updated database of information regarding
the babysitters that available in all the locations. Moreover, our price for obtainingbabysitter is comparatively cost effective than other agencies and independence
babysitters. Other than that, our service also considered fast, reliable and efficient
whereby the clients do not face problems such as depending on only one babysitter,
could not find babysitter in time of emergency, and others.

eMyBabysitter.com Business Plan
2.1.2.Weakness
Since in Malaysia, these types of services are not common, it may cause
certain setbacks to the company. This is because there is possibility that parents
will not choose to use our company service to gain information about babysitter
availability. Other than that, agencies that offers babysitter services via online is
often popular in countries such as New Zealand, America, Australia , Canada and
other developed western countries and had become trend for parents and guardian
to choose babysitter via online rather than go to maid agencies. However in
Malaysia, this business is a very new and still hasnt become trend setting among
parent. This can become a hindrance for our firm to develop and become
successful among the clientele.
2.1.3.Opportunity
The firm had high rate of opportunity to become leader in the field since
the company is one of the first in Malaysia to offer babysitter services via online.
Moreover, there company also does not face direct competitors. Furthermore, as
for 2008 economy downturn had forced many working parents to revamp their
lifestyles and the ways to handle their household budget. Many parents started to
seek for alternative solution in providing care for their children due to cost
increase in acquiring foreign maids. Therefore, the firm has dazzling future to
develop to become successful operation in Malaysia because of the economy
crisis. The legal issues between Malaysia government and Republic Indonesia
regarding the maid issues and Indonesia government imposing ban that created
barriers for Indonesian maids to be recruited also lead to massive opportunity for
local housewives and babysitters to expand their services. This will increase our
company opportunity as well to shine and penetrate the local childcare service
market.
2.1.4.Threats
The company is facing competition from foreign maid services. In
Malaysia, the foreign maid service is highly in demand and therefore our firm will
face competition from these agencies because most parents may choose to employ
11
-
7/30/2019 39734713 Business Plan for Online Babysitter Company
12/64
eMyBabysitter.com Business Plan
foreign maid rather than hiring babysitters or nannies. Another threat that the
company will probably face is economy crisis whereby people might choose
relatives to take care of their children instead of hiring babysitters. Another threat
that the company can face is internal political power struggle, transition of ruling
power and others. These dilemmas can affect launching of our company in certain
countries such as Thailand, Philippine and other even though there is vast market
opportunity if our management planned to expand our services to other countries
as well.
2.2.Competitive Comparison
The company faces competition from other alternative services such as individual
babysitters, foreign maid agency and childcare centres. Most of this facilities only
manage to provide child care services butThe company has tremendous advantage in the service industry especially in
childcare services. This is because our company can be considered as pioneer in leading
as online babysitter service provider in Malaysia. However, the firm mainly facing
competitive from foreign maid agency, individual babysitter services and daycares
centres. However, there are vast advantages of our company compared to these agencies
and daycares centres. One of the advantages is cost effective for the clients. The parents
and guardians did not have to spend hefty amount of money to the agencies and daycares
centres. The firm only charge small amount of fee to the parents to become member and
gain access to huge database of babysitters. Moreover, the firm also will be providing
huge database of information of babysitter that enable the clients to choose their
preferred babysitter.
Other than that, one of the most important element is the customers can gain
babysitter services without leaving house and seeking agency to hire babysitter and only
by click of mouse. Our services also been customized whereby we cater for those
children that need special care such as autisms children, physically-challenged children
and others.
Our database is created uniquely that when parents basically enter the information
and preference that they need for the babysitter and our system will generate list of
available babysitter according to the preferences.

2.3.Technology
The firm is bricks and clicks business model whereby online website is one of the
most crucial operation and used to cater for our clients. Therefore, technology is given
important aspect and as for the creating and setting up the website, maintenance fee, web
hosting and other expenses pertaining our website, the company had allocated RM

30MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY
In modern society, the demand for childcare had increased tremendously since more dual
career couples, single parents and mother with children steps in the countrys labour force.
According to the Ministry of Human Resource, in Malaysia labour force participation had
increased from 65.1% in 2001 to 66.9% in 2006 and womans participation had increased
from 44.4% in 2001 to 46.1% in 2006.1 Moreover, participation of parents and women with
young children had escalated and they need to find solutions and alternatives for their child
welfare while they are working. Furthermore, the parents and young mothers are rely on
relatives, non-relatives, foreign maids, babysitters and daycares centres to care for their
children.
According to Zulkiple (2006), most of workers in Malaysia actually choose for
unlicensed babysitter as alternative childcare due to cheaper cost compared to day care
centre2. However, there are risks for the children such as parents did not know the
babysitters, child safety with strangers, and other dangers. Therefore, the demands for
childcare centre, babysitters, and hired helps had amplified and generated comprehensive
opportunity for company like eMyBabysitter.com to expand its wing in childcare service
industry.
Moreover, most of the female married employees consist of 52.7% send their children to
baby sitters and only 3% of the employees send their children to childcare centre.3

shows that opportunity for childcare business is increasing and parents are more concern on
finding good and safe babysitters for their children.
Other than that, legal issues pertaining foreign maid in Malaysia also had contributed to
the opportunity in our business. The ban and restriction by Indonesia government on
Indonesia maid to Malaysia had caused uproar in hired help industry as well as increased the
cost of hiring maid. This is because as for now Malaysia had to rely on countries such as
Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries to seek for maids and hired helps. In February 2000,
there were 679,219 registered foreign workers and 150,000 foreign maids working in
Malaysia.4 However the legal issues among the government regarding the treatments and
conflicts among employer and maids had decrease the number of foreign maid in Malaysia.
Moreover, birth rate in Malaysia also is another factor that can contribute to expansion of
our company. Furthermore, in 2009, it is estimated that 22.24 births for 1,000 populations5.
