The story behind it
In 2017, I moved from Spain to Switzerland. New country. New language. New system. As an immigrant, you want to do everything right, even when you don't know exactly how.
In Zurich, I got to know many people working in households: cleaners, nannies, gardeners. Almost all without proper registration. Not out of bad intentions, but because the system was so complicated that doing nothing felt easier.
That stayed with me. I come from digital marketing, ten years spent learning to simplify complex processes so anyone can use them. At some point I realised: that's exactly what's missing here.
Nobody works off the books out of bad intentions. The system just makes it too complicated to do it right.
