Parents book the nights you actually sit
Open Friday and Saturday evenings, keep the school nights shut, and a parent whose plans just changed books four hours without a single text back.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
One family, every second Friday
Set a sit to repeat and the standing Fridays land in the diary ahead of you, running as long as the family needs them, at no cost on any plan.
Learn moreFour hours, and the clock does the maths.
Sitting is paid by the hour, so a short evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past the last train each come out right.
Priced by the hour
Set your rate once and the page totals the evening as the parent picks the hours, so the number on screen is the number you are owed.
Nothing open that suits
If the night they want is shut, the ask lands as a request you accept or decline, instead of the family trying whoever answers first.
The address before the yes
The page takes the home first and checks it is somewhere you cover, so you never accept a sit that is three trains away.
Paid at eleven, no wallet on the hall table.
The awkward bit of sitting is the doorway at the end of the night. Send the card link as you pack up and it is settled before the gate.
Cash is free to record
Note what was left for you against the sit, on the free plan. Card payments are the one part of the money that needs Pro.
A link, not a conversation
The parent taps it on the couch and pays. Nobody is hunting for an ATM at eleven at night and nobody is owed until Tuesday.
Into your own account
Card money is paid out to your own Stripe account. We never hold it on the way through and there is no waiting on us.

Any chance you could do tonight? Back by half eleven.
The ask at ten to six.
A night you have not opened arrives as a request in a thread, with accept and decline on the card itself.
Every second Friday, set once.
Weekly or monthly, at whatever spacing that family keeps, generated into the diary ahead of you and free.

One thread for each family.
The change of plan, the extra hour and your answer to it all stay in the same conversation.
Built for the evening
Every kind of sit you take
Friday date-night sit
Four hours from six, priced on the hours, booked off your page while the parents are still arguing about the restaurant.
The ten-to-six ask
A parent whose plans fell over at knock-off takes the next open evening themselves, with no phone call and no back and forth.
Bedtime-only sit
Two hours from the bath to lights out, then you sit downstairs. A short evening priced short instead of rounded up to a night.
Two under three
The second child goes on as an option as the parent books, so the fee is settled before you have knocked on the door.
Wedding-reception sit
A long Saturday while the parents are at the reception, with the past-midnight finish added by them rather than argued at one in the morning.
School-holiday day sit
A whole weekday in January, on the clock from nine, sitting in the same list as your evenings instead of on a scrap of paper.
Overnight stayover
Ten at night through to seven the next morning, on the diary as one booking at its own rate rather than an evening stretched.
Covering the usual sitter
A family whose regular has fallen through finds a genuinely open evening on your page instead of ringing four people.
The standing Thursday
The same family, the same evening, set once and generated into the diary for as long as the arrangement runs.
Kids up, dinner party down
Upstairs with the children while the parents host. One booking, one record, and the hours counted to the last guest.
The household on one card.
Where they live, the number to ring and what they have spent, instead of scrolling back through a year of messages.

The same families, over and over.
Every evening you have sat for them in order, so the next booking is a repeat rather than a fresh form each time.
A whole evening on the board.
Your night from the first family to the last, on a window that starts when your work does rather than at eight in the morning.
One app for the whole job
Everything you need to run your babysitting business.
Priced by the hour
Sitting is billed on the clock, so a short evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past midnight each come out at the right fee.
Standing evenings
A family who has you every second Friday is set up once and generated into the diary ahead of you, at no cost on any plan.
The family record
Bedtimes, the allergy, which neighbour holds the key and the number for nan, kept as notes on the family and never shown to them.

Common questions.
They can book any evening you have opened up. There is a one-hour floor before the next bookable slot, so a ten-to-six ask can take a seven o’clock sit but not a six-fifteen one. Anything tighter than that comes to you as a request instead, and you answer it in the thread.
Yes. Sitting is priced on the clock, so a two-hour bedtime sit and a six-hour wedding night come out at the right fee without you doing sums on the walk home. A second child or a finish past midnight goes on as an option with its own price, chosen by the parent as they book.
On the family. Each child sits under the household as their own record with their own details, and everything else — the peanut allergy, which neighbour holds the spare key, the number for nan — goes on as an internal note. Notes are yours, never shown to the family, and they are there the next time you sit.
No, and it never will. The check is state-based here — a Working with Children Check in some states, a blue card in Queensland — and it is issued to you, held by you and shown by you. Bookables runs the diary and the money. It does not run, hold or verify a clearance, and you should be suspicious of any booking tool that says it does.
No. Set the sit to repeat weekly or monthly, at whatever spacing that family keeps, and the evenings are generated into the diary ahead of you. Move one and the pattern re-anchors from there. Standing arrangements are free.
Record it against the sit and the booking settles, on the free plan, with nothing to pay us. Card payments are the part that comes with Pro, and card money is paid out to your own Stripe account rather than held by us on the way through.
