People-oriented, Mother-oriented
The arrival of a baby is a joyful and hopeful experience for the family. We deeply understand that busy Hong Kong Mothers are doing their best to balance their work and family duties. We believe that every mother, from the 9-month of pregnancy until half a year after delivery, is worthy of comprehensive support and care from the people around her. We sincerely hope that mothers can easily transition from pregnancy and their confinement period without having to compromise their physical and emotional health.
A Stork for Every Mother
The TeamStork team was inspired by Western folklore The Storks. According to the story, storks will work tirelessly and overcome difficulties to send a 9-month-old newborn baby to the warm embrace of the anticipating mother and her family, while bestowing the gift of good health on the baby. TeamStork founders are professional women themselves. Like every Hong Kong mother, they feel the need to choose between career and family priorities. No matter how successful they may be in their careers, mothers also desire to be able to devote themselves the whole motherhood experience when the time comes for them to welcome a child.
Like many other career women in Hong Kong, One of the founders - Elaine started her family late. She had an extremely packed work and personal schedule while getting ready for delivery. As part of her comprehensive preparation, she hired a confinement lady and trained a new helper.
The new challenges and pressures she encountered after giving birth eventually added to her exhaustion. To make it worse, her helper resigned on her first day back to work from maternity leave. She was caught off guard, and had no choice but to spend a lot more time, money and effort to make sure her baby was well taken care of during her working time.
The problems Elaine faced happen to many Hong Kong mothers almost every day. No matter how they manage, they are often left tending to many things before they could enjoy the fruits of their prenatal preparation and postnatal confinement plans. The TeamStork mothers really hope that by becoming a mother’s stork, they can deliver a worry-free experience to mothers-to-be. Serving as a “stork,” they believe that more than delivering a long-awaited new family member, they are also helping bring blessings and a future of health and happiness for both mother and baby.
