Online booking
Only the evenings you actually sit
Open the Friday and the Saturday, keep the school nights shut, and a parent running late books three hours without waiting on a reply.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
The same family, on repeat
Set a sit to run weekly or monthly and the standing evenings are generated into the diary ahead of you, free on whatever plan you are on.
Learn moreThree hours or six, the clock decides.
Sitting is paid by the hour, so a quiet evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past the last bus 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 what is on screen is what you are owed.
Nothing open that suits
If the night they want is shut, the ask arrives as a request you accept or decline, rather than the family trying whoever answers.
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 half an hour of buses away.
Paid at eleven, no wallet on the bench.
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. Cards 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 looking 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 you are not 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, taken off your page while the parents are still deciding where to eat.
The ten-to-six ask
A parent whose evening changed at knock-off takes the next open slot themselves, with no ring-around and no waiting on you.
Bedtime-only sit
Two hours from the bath through to lights out, then you sit downstairs. A short evening priced short, not rounded up to a night.
Two under three
The second child is added 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 sorted out at one in the morning.
Term-break day sit
A whole weekday in the school holidays, on the clock from nine, sitting in the same list as the evenings rather than a note on the fridge.
Overnight stayover
Ten at night through to seven the next morning, on the diary as one booking at its own rate instead of an evening stretched out.
Covering the usual sitter
A family whose regular has pulled out finds an evening that is genuinely open on your page instead of texting four people.
The standing Thursday
The same family, the same night, set up 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 downstairs. One booking, one record, 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
A sit is billed on the clock, so a short evening after bedtime and a long one that runs past midnight each land 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 nana, kept as notes on the family and never shown to them.

Common questions.
Any evening you have opened, yes. 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. Tighter than that arrives as a request and you answer it in the thread.
Yes. A sit is priced on the clock, so a two-hour bedtime and a six-hour night out come out right without you working it out on the walk home. A second child or a late finish goes on as an option with its own price, ticked by the parent as they book.
On the family. Each child sits under the household as their own record, and the rest — the dairy allergy, which neighbour has the spare key, the number for nana — goes on as an internal note. Notes stay yours, never shown to the family, and they are still there next time.
No, and it will not pretend to. New Zealand Police do not process vetting requests from individuals: a Police vet is requested by an approved agency, and it is what satisfies a Children’s Worker Safety Check under the Children’s Act 2014. If you want your own record, that is a criminal record check from the Ministry of Justice. Bookables runs the diary and the money and touches none of it.
No. Set the sit to repeat weekly or monthly at whatever spacing they keep, and the evenings are generated ahead of you. Move one and the pattern re-anchors from there. Standing arrangements cost nothing.
Record it against the sit and the booking is settled, on the free plan, with nothing owed to us. Cards 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 past.
