A calmer way to get started

Three clear steps.

Keep control of what gets posted and who you choose. A planning draft organizes the conversation; your judgment completes it.

  1. Describe

    Start with an ordinary sentence. Add the task, location, timing, and anything a Helper should know.

  2. Review

    Check the planning draft, correct the details, and decide what you are comfortable publishing.

  3. Compare

    Publish when ready, then compare any responses, profile information, timing, and proposed price.

The idea behind our name

품앗이

Poomasi · a Korean tradition of neighbours helping one another

Help should feel human, even when the planning gets smarter.

PoomAt takes inspiration from the spirit of Poomasi and translates it into a modern Canadian marketplace: clients describe what they need, and independent Helpers decide whether they can help.

Choose with context

The details you need to choose with care

Trust is built through useful information and clear expectations—not a blanket promise about every person or every task.

Compare the response, not a promise

Review proposed price and timing alongside profile information, ratings, and any credentials displayed for that Helper.

Know who provides the service

Helpers offer services as independent providers or businesses. PoomAt is the marketplace and does not perform the requested service.

Confirm what the task requires

Licences, insurance, screening, and experience requirements vary by service and location. Ask questions and confirm what matters before choosing.

For independent Helpers

Bring the skills your community already relies on.

Create a profile, list the services you offer, and review requests that fit your qualifications and availability. Helpers choose which opportunities to pursue; request volume and earnings are not guaranteed.
