Share care with caregivers

A household is everyone who looks after the same babies. Parents invite the others and choose what each person can see.

Invite someone

1. Open Settings → Caregivers and choose Invite someone.
2. Enter their email address, the name your household uses for them (such as Grandma), their role and which babies, and Mother, they can see.
3. Send the invitation, or copy its link and share it yourself.
4. They sign in or create an account with the invited address and accept. They then appear in the list with the role you chose.

Settings → Caregivers lists everyone in the household and any pending invitations. Choose Edit to change a person's name, role or access.

On a pending invitation, Copy link makes a fresh link without sending email, and Share / resend makes a fresh link and emails it. Either one cancels the old link. Revoke withdraws the invitation.

Roles

• Parent sees everything and manages people, invitations and the plan. A household can have several parents; one of them is the owner.
• Family sees everyone in the household's care but can't invite, remove or change other people, or see the plan.
• Caregiver uses the care log for the babies (and Mother) they've been given, and can't see Caregivers or Plan.

Everyone can connect their own assistant and revoke it; nobody sees other people's assistant connections. The owner always stays a parent, and must use Transfer ownership before their membership can be lowered or removed.

Edit a person

Edit on a person lets you set the name everyone in this household sees ("Mum", "Grandpa", "Night nanny"), and, if you're a parent, their role and which babies and Mother they can see. Save applies everything together.

• Pause access keeps a caregiver or family member in the household but stops them seeing or changing any records, for example during a break. Resume access restores it without a new invitation; check which people they can see when you do.
• Remove access takes them out of the household; they'd need a new invitation to return.

The household name belongs to the household, not the account: the same person can be "Mum" at home and use their own name elsewhere. Leave it blank to use their account name.

Shifts

Open Settings → Shifts to plan who looks after the babies, and when.

• Parents set up a weekly pattern once with Set up weekly pattern; every week starts as a copy. Each shift names the people on it and the babies it covers. A shift with nobody on it is Open.
• Tap a shift to change it. For a shift from the pattern, Save asks whether the change is for that day only or every week from then on. Reset week… puts a week back to the pattern.
• Tapping an Open shift lists each person with a hint about their day, such as free or on until 17:00, so you can fill it in one tap.
• Caregivers see their own shifts as You and other shifts only as Covered or Open. If they can't make a shift, Can't make it… tells the parents.
• The bell on Shifts sets your own shift reminders, and Add to calendar downloads your shifts as a calendar file.

Handover

On Log, the line under the baby's name shows who is on shift; tap it to open Handover. It lists every care record from the previous shift, newest first, with the previous shift's note and the current one. Tap a record to see it and come back. Only the person on each shift can edit its note.

More than one household

An account owns one household. Settings → Household holds its name with Rename, its time zone, and its babies. If you've also been invited into someone else's household, choose between them with the selector at the top of that panel. Check the household name before recording, because switching changes which babies and records you see. To ask for more than one household of your own, use Request multiple household support.

Settings → Household names the household, switches between households you belong to, and lists its babies.

Future dates and time zones

Records more than a minute in the future are blocked, including from assistants, imports and corrections. Times use the household's time zone. A parent can turn off Prevent future events in Settings → Preferences to allow intentional future records.

Refer another family

During a referral campaign, parents find their sharing link in Settings → Plan. When the family you referred creates a new household, verifies their email, logs at least 10 activities on five different days and completes a request through a connected assistant, both families automatically receive the free Pro months shown beside the link. Open How rewards work for the full offer. The other family sees your chosen display name and overall progress, never your care records.
