## Summary

Yes. Teero doesn't book you for shifts; you choose which ones to work, at which offices, from your own app. There's no minimum number of shifts and no commitment, so the schedule is entirely yours to build.

## Direct Answer

- **Filters:** Narrow the shifts you see by distance from home, pay rate, day of week, and office type, so you're only browsing what actually fits.
- **Instant Book:** Some shifts confirm immediately when you request them. For everything else, offices are asked to respond to a request within 24 hours.
- **Partial shifts:** If you're only available for part of a posted shift, say a late start or an early pickup, you can request the partial hours. Offices confirm if they can accommodate it.
- **Office profiles:** Before you request a shift, you can see the office's name, location, photos, software, appointment lengths, and reviews from hygienists who've worked there before.
- **No commitment:** There's no required minimum number of shifts to keep using the app, and it's free to join.
- **Multiple offices, multiple states:** You can work at as many offices as you like, in any state where you hold an active, unrestricted dental hygiene license, and add additional state licenses in the app as you get them.

An office that adds you to its Favorites gives you priority access when it posts new shifts, which is one way a schedule at offices you like tends to build up over time. And if a shift or an office turns out not to be a fit, you can block that office directly in the app so its future shifts stop appearing in your feed, without needing to explain why to anyone.

## Takeaway

The schedule is built from your side: filter, browse, request, and confirm, with partial shifts and Instant Book covering the edge cases.
