Ask HN: Do you know of any startups targeting problems of young married couples?
Young married working couples usually have some unique problems like :
1. Where to leave their kids when they are working? Play Schools and other services exists but how to discover them and know it is reliable? Is there any organization that reviews and rates such services?
2. House work - cleaning, home cooked food(especially if there is a young kid having special needs), etc.
What are some startups that provides innovative solutions to problems of this target market?

It's been around since 1999, so it's not a startup, but the site is not a household name--even in New York City itself--but I think you'll find it very helpful, insightful, and entertaining, whether you're using it as a reference-point for creating a similar type of site, or using it yourself, or both. So go ahead and check it out! :)
