Your first week: setup checklist

Six things to do before your first job so offers reach you and pay lands on time.

Do these once and you're ready for offers.

  1. Install the app on your phone. Open the Simply Maid app in your browser and tap Add to Home Screen when the banner appears. It works like a normal app.

  2. Turn on notifications. Tap Enable Notifications so job offers and schedule changes reach you instantly.

  3. Set your home base and travel range. Go to Profile → Home base address. Offers are matched on distance from this address and your maximum drive time.

  4. Set your weekly hours. Go to Schedule → Edit Hours. Only mark hours you can really work — we allocate jobs into these hours.

  5. Set up payouts. Go to Earnings → Payouts and connect your bank through Stripe. No payout account, no pay.

  6. Add a profile photo. Customers see it when you're assigned. A clear, friendly headshot gets better reviews.

Optional but worth it:

  • Same-day availability — toggle it on the Today page to receive same-day jobs. Every same-day job pays a bonus on top of your normal rate.

  • Calendar sync — on your Profile, sync your jobs to Google or Apple Calendar so you never double-book.
