Put a parent in charge

One adult owns customers, access, supervision, scheduling, and backup.

Practice, then agree

Try the tasks at home. Walk a neighbor's real routine before quoting a job.

Do the work. Learn from it.

Checklist, honest update, then a weekly look at time, costs, and what to improve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's in the blueprint?

Your own name, brand, and simple site, then safe tasks, parent roles, neighbor conversations, pricing, and visits — plus a Home Card, neighbor intro script, booking confirmation, visit checklist, completion update, pricing worksheet, and weekly review.

Is there an age requirement?

A parent is part of the plan for every troop: they confirm tasks, timing, supervision, and pricing, and stay the customer's point of contact.

How do we get paid?

The customer pays the parent or troop directly (cash, Venmo, or however you agree) — StoopTroops doesn't collect, hold, or send payment.
