Profile:This is Ricardo Moreira. He is 33 years old, married and has one six year old daughter. He lives together with his family in Lisbon, where he worked for a big company since three years. Just recently he was promoted to lead a small team. Besides his job, he loves running in the park, playing cards with his friends and spending time with his family. He often uses his smartphone during free time activities to manage his job and leisure at the same time. He does not like to waste his time doing any domestic chores. He rather would love to have extra free time to spend more time with his family, especially to see his daughter growing up. But if he does so, his job and other hobbies miss out. At the moment he is looking for outsource opportunities of domestic chores.

Day-in-the-lifeRicardo gets up at 7:00am, has a quick breakfast with his family and leaves the house at 8:00am. He starts to work at 8:30am. In the afternoon, he calls many clients and most of the time he stays in office until 7:30pm. When he arrives at home, he sees his daughter just another 30 minutes, because she goes to bed at 8:30pm. Then he does some domestic chores, because his wife works as well and has no time, e.g. to do the laundry. Afterwards he goes out for running or spends some time with his wife. They sit together and enjoy the evening together.
