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.
