🧰 Systems Make Delegation Possible
You don’t have to be the boss of every chore. You just need the right scaffolding.
With Minor Chores, kids lead the work, you manage the framework.

The system keeps things running smoothly; you stay in control without needing to micromanage.
🚀 How It Works Without Wearing You Out
Let your child choose their services.
They pick something they’re excited about, whether that’s trash can cleaning, pet sitting, or yard work, instead of you assigning it.
Let the app coordinate.
The scheduling tool sends reminders. The messaging system funnels communication properly. You only step in when approval is needed or a job needs review.
Let the system promote.
Flyers with QR codes, personal business pages, and automatic marketing help your kid grow their customer list, no extra work from you.
🎯 When You Delegate, Everyone Wins
Kids get more than chores, they get real practice in decision-making, consistency, and customer responsibility. You reclaim time that’s often slipping through the cracks.
You’re not off the hook forever, of course. But when the structure is good, your role becomes one of oversight, not constant supervision. You become the coach on the bench, not the referee on every play.
