Holiday lights taken down and stored, and a fresh clean for the new year.
Tradition says to clean before the new year begins, not on the day. Book a deep clean in the week before, and a chef for the reunion dinner. Send a Genie gift card.
A chef-cooked dinner at home, an at-home massage, or a spotless home — all available as a Genie gift card. Send a Genie gift card.
Book the deep clean and carpet cleaning before Ramadan starts. During the month, weekly meal prep for iftar and suhoor, regular cleaning and errands free up time for fasting and prayer. Pros can choose a fasting schedule in the app.
Book home check-ins, pet sitting and the airport ride a week or two before you go. A pro can also shovel, mow and bring in parcels while you’re away.
The last ten days of Ramadan are the busiest for henna artists, cleaning, makeup and photographers. Book Chand Raat henna early, and send Eid gift cards to family. Send a Genie gift card.
Passover cleaning is thorough, so book the kitchen and whole-home clean early. For Easter, a spring clean and a chef for brunch.
Book a deep clean and catering for family gatherings in early April. Send a Genie gift card.
Book the yard clean-up once the snow melts, then windows, eavestroughs and a pressure wash before summer.
Give time back: a cleaning, a massage, the handyman list or the lawn — as a Genie gift card, emailed instantly. Send a Genie gift card.
June 30 and July 1 are the busiest moving days in Canada. Book movers four to six weeks ahead, and the move-out clean for the day after.
Bridal henna artists book up 4–8 weeks ahead in summer. Book the bride’s henna for 1–2 days before the wedding, and a henna party artist for the mehndi night — about 12–18 guests in two hours. Send a Genie gift card.
Good tutors fill their weekly slots in the first two weeks of September. Book in late August.
Book the deep clean for the Friday before and a chef for the dinner.
Clean eavestroughs after the leaves drop, service the furnace before the first cold snap, and blow out sprinklers before the ground freezes (usually by early November in Ontario).
Most families deep-clean and decorate in the two weeks before Diwali, so pro calendars fill fast. Book cleaning and light installation early, and send a Genie gift card to family who live away. Send a Genie gift card.
Installers book up from mid-November. Book by early December for lights before the holidays, and book take-down for January.
Book a deep clean before the first night and a personal chef for the family dinner. A Genie gift card is a practical present for each night. Send a Genie gift card.
December is the busiest month for cleaning, chefs and holiday lights. Book the deep clean before guests arrive, a chef for the big dinner, and lights by early December. Genie gift cards make an easy last-minute present. Send a Genie gift card.
Set up snow removal before the first big storm, when pros still have openings for regular routes.
Prices are Genie’s upfront starting prices in Ontario before tax; the exact price is shown before you book. Holiday dates based on the moon (Diwali, Eid, Lunar New Year, Hanukkah, Passover, Easter) are approximate.
