That should be enough to get started. It can be easier if you clarify a few things:
I love the idea of sketches. it’s really simple, I think. Simple login page>calendar>form to fill out (address, name, date)>updated calendar. Then for staff login page> calendar>click on date>select available cleaning>calendar updated with cleaning assigned to staff member. Admin(me) login> approve schedules>manage users>settings etc. Would this make sense to someone who can make computers do things?
As a computer dothings maker, absolutely! I’d request a sketch or make one and ask if it fits the client’s intention as the first step of any such project.
As a developer, it looks clear enough to me, but I’d suggest two changes.
“Status updates” - You don’t say who you want to be able to view the status of a posting.
“Bonus if you can connect it to my Wave account…” - probably better to phrase it “Ideally it would connect to my Wave account…”. You’re listing requirements, after all.
Also, you might need to consider adding an admin page where you can manage accounts, see all jobs listed, etc.
Thank you for your help. Yes’ I would like an admin page to approve the schedules and manage the users and, I suppose, whatever else needs to happen behind the scenes. You have helped me clarify what I need!
Before hiring someone, investigate what is already available a bit more. Read reviews, watch videos, sign up for some services and check them out.
There are services that exist that can do what I need but they also do a lot more than what I need. I don’t need payroll, no clock in/out, no marketing emails. I just want calendar only with log in pages for cleaners and clients for scheduling purposes. Also I don’t have it in me to learn how to do this on my own. I haven’t done html since myspace.

Before you post your listing, have a look here:
https://www.sharetribe.com/
It’s a platform for setting up your own custom marketplace, which is exactly what you’re describing. It’s a no-code solution and pretty customisable.
At the best, it might give you an immediate solution to your needs. At worst, it’ll give you a starting point to explain to your dev what you want. Win/win.

Okay yes! This is cool, thank you.
