Booking software for nanny agencies in Canada.
A full-time placement is a contract, not a calendar entry, and we would rather say so. The trial day, the backup care day, the nanny share and the after-school pickup are the calendar.

Online booking
Backup care families book themselves
When a family’s nanny calls in sick, they take a day right off your page, out of hours your nannies really have open. No 6am round of phone calls.

Every nanny’s week on one board
School-year hours, March break and time off live on each nanny, so the only person offered a Tuesday morning is free that morning and close by.
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 6am text you cannot miss.
A parent is due at work in an hour. Nothing on the page fits, so the ask lands as a request in the thread with the hours right 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 bill the family, not the nanny.
The agency invoices the family for the coverage and the placement. Cash handed over at the door gets logged by hand and costs you nothing.
Every kind of cover
The days that genuinely go in a diary
A trial day with a shortlisted nanny
Booked as a real day with hours, an address and a price, so nobody arrives Monday with a different idea of what was agreed to.
Backup care when the family’s nanny is sick
A 6am text becomes a booked day against whichever nanny is free and close, with the hours and the address already on the record.
The after-school pickup, three days a week
Set the pattern once and the pickups fill the calendar for the term. Move the Tuesday a family travels and leave the rest alone.
Two weeks of coverage over March break
Longer days, a different rate, 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 nanny, one day, two households behind it. Each family keeps its own record and gets its own payment request for the same day.
PD day and snow day coverage
School closes and every family wants the same person. The board shows who is left before you promise anything to anybody.
Sole-charge days while the parents travel
Several long days in a row against one nanny, priced by the hour, with the whole run on the board instead of lost in an email thread.
A meet-and-greet at the family’s home
An hour at the house before anything is signed, booked like any other visit so it lands on the nanny’s day and not just in your head.
Summer coverage while the regular nanny is off
A few weeks of somebody else’s routine, booked as a block, invoiced to the family and closed out when their own nanny is back.
The trial day, priced three ways.
Nobody hires a nanny off a profile. Show the family the trial day, the two-week backup block and the ongoing week together and let them pick.
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 math right in front of the family.
Three arrangements, one document
Trial day, a two-week block over March break and an ongoing three-day week, each priced, 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 chose converts straight into the trial day on the calendar.

The after-school pickup, set once.
Three afternoons a week, same school, same pickup. Set the pattern once and the days are on the calendar 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 pickups. Standing arrangements are free.
Move one day, not the pattern
Reschedule the afternoon a family is away and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand.
Time off is an override
Mark a nanny off and her pickups leave the board, so no child is waiting at a school she was never going to make it to.
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 drive a nanny will really make.
A nanny who will not cross the city for a three o’clock pickup is the real constraint. Claim the areas each one covers and hold the page to them.

Common questions.
Not as a booking, and we would rather be straight about it. A full-time placement is a contract between the family and the nanny. The interview, the trial day and any backup care around them go on the calendar, and the placement lives on the family’s record as a document and an invoice.
No, and it makes no such claim. Bookables does not run, hold, verify or track a check of any kind. Screening and whatever your province requires stay entirely with you, outside the product, in your own records.
Yes, and it is the quickest thing to switch on. Your page only offers hours a nanny is truly free to work, and the booking is real once made. If nothing fits, the family sends a request with the hours they need and you answer in the thread.
One day, one nanny, two households. The day is a single booking carrying the hours, each family keeps its own record, and each gets its own payment request. Splitting a total into parts with their own due dates comes with Pro.
Yes. Hours is a real pricing driver, so a care day prices itself from the hours the family picks. A twelve-hour day and an after-school afternoon land at different totals with no math traded over text.
No. There is no payroll, no employment agreement 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 provider.
