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

Relief cover, booked off your page
A family whose nanny is crook picks a relief day from the hours your nannies genuinely have open. No ringing round four people before eight.

The whole term on one board
Term hours, school holidays and leave sit on each nanny, so the only person offered for a Wednesday morning is one who is actually free that day.
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 call that comes before eight.
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 already 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.

The family gets the invoice.
The agency bills the family for the relief and the placement. What was handed over 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
A real day with real hours, a real address and a price, so nobody arrives on Monday with a different idea of what was agreed.
Relief cover when the usual nanny is crook
A morning phone call turns into a booked day against whoever is free and close, hours and address already sitting on the record.
The after-school pick-up, three days a week
Set the pattern once and the runs sit in the diary for the term. Move the week a family is away and leave the rest alone.
A fortnight over the school holidays
Longer days, a different rate and a set number of them, priced by the hour on a document the family accepts by typing its name.
A nanny share between two families
One nanny, one day, two households behind it. Each family holds its own record and gets its own payment request for that day.
Teacher-only day cover
A whole weekday off school and every family wants the same one. The board shows who is left before you promise anybody anything.
Sole-charge days while the parents are away
Several long days in a row against one nanny, priced by the hour, with the whole run on the board rather than buried in an email.
A meet-and-greet at the family’s place
An hour at the house before anything is settled, booked like any other visit so it is on the nanny’s day and not only in your head.
Cover while a family’s own nanny is on leave
A fortnight of somebody else’s routine, booked as a block, invoiced to the family and closed off when their nanny is back.
One document, three arrangements.
Nobody takes on a nanny off a profile. Put the trial day, the fortnight of relief and the ongoing week in front of the family together.
Priced off the hours
Hours is a real pricing driver here. Put the rate and the hours on the line and the document does the sums in front of the family.
Three arrangements, one document
Trial day, a fortnight of relief over the 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 its full name, and the option it 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 afternoon a family is away and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it. Nothing has to be rebuilt by hand.
Leave is an override
Mark a nanny off and her runs come off the board, so nobody is waiting 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 drive.
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. A full-time placement is a contract between the family and the nanny, and calling it a diary entry would be a lie. The interview, the trial day and any relief you run around them are bookings. The placement lives on the family’s record as a document and an invoice.
No. Bookables does not run, hold, verify or chase a check of any kind, and it never says it does. Whatever vetting and safety checking you are required to do stays outside the product, done by you and kept in your own files.
Yes. The page only offers hours a nanny is genuinely free to work, and the booking is real as soon as it is made. When nothing shown suits, the family sends a request with the hours it needs and you answer it in the thread.
One day, one nanny, two households. The day is a single booking with the hours on it, 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 relief day prices itself off the hours the family picks. A long day and a short one come out at different totals without you working it out in a text.
No. No payroll, no employment agreements, no tax. The product books the work, keeps the record and invoices the family. Paying the nanny stays with your accountant or your payroll system.
