Follow these simple steps to streamline your childcare communication.

Create your Family Guide

Download the app, verify your phone number, and give your new family guide a name. In minutes you can add in bedtimes, food allergies, emergency contacts, Wi-Fi credentials, even pet instructions. Everything sits in one secure place, and we'll walk you through some of the most important things to include.

Share with your sitters

Ready to hand off the kids for a night? Tap “Invite,” add your babysitter (or whoever's watching the kiddos), and they'll get read-only access to your guide. They'll see the latest routines, house rules, and contact numbers exactly as you wrote them, eliminating the back-and-forth texts, long write-ups, and last-minute phone calls.

Control going forward

You always decide who gets access and for how long, so everyone stays on the same page. Plans change, sitters change, and so can your family guide. Update a bedtime, toggle a sitter's access, or temporarily add your vacation accommodations when travelling with the kids. Every change syncs instantly and you're always in control.

Parents and sitters are loving the change

What users are saying about their improved childcare experiences.

"With eFG, I find myself relaxing a little more when I leave my kids with a sitter. I know they have everything they need at their fingertips and I avoid rushing an hour before leaving trying to write everything down."

Shannon, mom of 2

"Really loving the app! I can see all the information I need in one place and it has definitely made bedtimes easier having a reminder of the favorite toys right at my fingertips rather than running downstairs to the note on the fridge."

Kayla, sitter

"We were trying out a new babysitter the other night and it usually takes me at least 30 minutes to write down everything I think they need to know. With eFG, I just tapped a button and sent them the link. So easy!"

Ryan, dad of 1

"I love watching the kids, so if this app makes it easier for me to do that, I am all in! It's nice to have reminders of the kids' routines, where the little things are in the house, favorite books these days... all a quick tap away."

Gamme, grandparent of 3

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about eFamilyGuide

We use industry-standard encryption, plus phone-number authentication to verify every user. Only the people you invite can see your Family Guide, and you can revoke or limit their access at any time. No one outside of your approved list can view your Family Guide.
Nope! Caregivers download the app for free and join easily when you invite them to your family guide. It takes less than a minute for them to get up and running. They get immediate read-only access to the information you've shared.
Of course! You can add as many houses as you like to your Family Guide, each with its own information. Mark one house as “Active” so caregivers know which set of instructions applies; switching the active house takes just a tap. Also useful if you're visiting family or friends for a weekend and want to add specific information for your current location without creating a whole new guide.
Just a few seconds! Use the app to change a bedtime, add in a new emergency contact, or toggle a sitter's access, and the update is live the moment you tap "Save." No more worrying about whether the sitter has the latest information or fumbling around for a piece of paper as you're trying to get out of the house.
Nope! We know sometimes it "takes a village" and you might have multiple sitters, or grandparents, or neighbors, watching the kids depending on the day. Easily add access for unlimited caregivers, while still keeping control of who has access and when.
