  services, working hours, and weekend availability.
• Admin features allowing for creating, removing, and converting superusers to staff members.
• Provided the ability for staff members to view and update their profiles, including email change verification for
  added security.

Service Management 🛠

  up-to-date.

Days Off and Working Hours Management 🕰

• Implemented DayOff and WorkingHours models to manage staff availability.
