Booking software for nanny agencies in Australia.
A permanent placement is a contract, not a diary entry. The trial day, the cover day, the nanny share and the school pick-up are diary entries, and those are what this books.

Online booking
Cover booked without the ring-around
A family whose nanny is off picks a cover day off your page, out of the hours your nannies genuinely have free. No ring-around at seven in the morning.

Every nanny’s term on one board
Term hours, school holidays and days off sit on each nanny, so the only person offered for a Tuesday morning is one who is actually free and close enough.
Learn moreWhich nanny is genuinely free.
One lane per nanny across the day, cover where the work is and gaps where it is not. A parent asking about tomorrow gets an answer off the board instead of a guess and three phone calls.
Our nanny is off sick. Could anyone cover 8 until 6 today?
The ask that comes in before breakfast.
A parent is due at work in an hour. Nothing on the page suits, so the ask lands as a request in the thread with the hours on it.
A record for every family.
Address, contact, the children on the record as subjects, what the family has spent with you and what is still owed. None of it lives in somebody's phone.

You invoice the family, not the nanny.
The agency bills the family for the cover and the placement. What you were handed in cash is written down by hand and costs nothing.
Every kind of cover
The days that genuinely go in a diary
Trial day with a shortlisted nanny
Booked as a real day with its hours, its address and its price, so nobody turns up on a Monday with a different idea of what was agreed.
Emergency cover when the regular nanny is sick
A morning ask becomes a booked day against whichever nanny is free and close, with the hours and the address already on the record.
The after-school pick-up, three days a week
Set the pattern once and the runs are in the diary for the term. Move the Tuesday a family is away without touching the rest.
A two-week block over the school holidays
Longer days, a different rate and a set number of them. Priced by the hour on one document the family accepts by typing their name.
A nanny share between two families
One day, one nanny, two households behind it. Each family keeps its own record and gets its own payment request for the same day.
Pupil-free day cover
A whole weekday appears on the school calendar and every family wants the same one. The board shows who is left before you promise anyone.
Sole-charge days while the parents travel
Several long days in a row against one nanny, priced by the hour, with the whole run visible on the board rather than in an email chain.
A meet-and-greet at the family’s home
An hour at the house before anything is agreed, booked like any other visit so it is on the nanny’s day and not just in your head.
Holiday cover while a family’s own nanny is away
Two weeks of somebody else’s routine, booked as a block, invoiced to the family and closed off when their nanny is back.
The trial day, priced three ways.
Nobody hires a nanny off a profile. Put the trial day, the two-week temp block and the ongoing week in one document and let the family choose.
Priced by the hour
Hours is a real pricing driver here. Put the rate and the hours on the line and the document does the arithmetic in front of the family.
Three arrangements, one document
Trial day, a two-week block over the school holidays and an ongoing three-day week, each with its own price and one marked recommended. Options come with Pro.
Accepted by typing a name
The family accepts online by typing their full name, and the option they picked converts straight into the trial day in the diary.

The after-school run, set once.
Three afternoons a week, same gate, same pick-up. Set the pattern once and the runs are in the diary before anyone thinks to ask.
Any cadence you actually work
Weekly or monthly, every week or every fourth, ending never, on a date or after a set number of runs. Standing arrangements are on the Free plan.
Move one day, not the pattern
Reschedule the Tuesday a family is away and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand afterwards.
A day off is an override
Mark a nanny off and her runs come off the board, so nobody is expected at a gate on a day she was never going to be there.
A placement is a document, not a diary entry.
The contract between a family and a nanny is not something to fake as a booking, so this does not try. What it keeps is the trail: the meet-and-greet, the trial day, the placement invoice and every cover day since, in one order on the family.
One feed, not four places
Bookings, documents, payments and the notes your team wrote are merged into a single history on the family, in the order they happened.
The nanny keeps a record too
Every day a nanny worked sits against her on the board and on the booking, so a question about six weeks ago has an answer rather than a memory.
Notes stay yours
Notes on a record are for your team and are never shown to the family. Bookables holds no clearance, runs no check and verifies nothing.

The run a nanny will actually do.
A nanny who will not cross town for a three o’clock pick-up is the real constraint. Claim the areas each one covers and hold the page to them.

Common questions.
Not as a booking, and it would be dishonest to dress it up as one. A full-time placement is a contract between the family and the nanny. What goes in the diary is the interview, the trial day and any cover you run around them. The placement itself lives on the family’s record as a document and an invoice, which is what it actually is.
No, and it never claims to. Bookables does not run, hold, verify or chase a check of any kind. Whatever vetting and clearances your state asks of you stay entirely outside the product, done by you and kept in your own records.
Yes. Your page only ever offers hours a nanny is genuinely free to work, and the booking is real the moment it is made. If nothing shown suits, the family sends a request with the hours they need and you answer it in the thread.
The day is one booking against one nanny, with the hours on it, and each family keeps its own record and its own history. Send each family a payment request against that day. Splitting a total into parts with their own due dates comes with Pro.
Yes. Hours is a real pricing driver, so a cover day is priced by the hour and the total moves as the family picks the hours it needs. Longer days and shorter days price themselves without you doing sums in a text message.
No. There is no payroll, no employment contract and no tax filing anywhere in the product. It books the work, keeps the record and invoices the family. Paying a nanny stays with your accountant or your payroll software, where it belongs.
