Clock in, log meals and naps as they happen, send the parents a clean daily report and invoice your hours, all from one app built from the nanny’s side of the job.

## What NannyLog fixes

- **Hours that never quite add up:** One-tap clock-in keeps a timesheet both you and the family can see.
- **Writing reports at pickup:** Log during the day and the report builds itself, with an optional on-device AI draft.
- **Chasing payment:** Turn tracked hours into a professional invoice with your payment details on it.
- **Work texts on your personal phone:** Keep parent messages next to the child’s log, not in your personal threads.

## Features you’ll use every day

- [Childcare activity log](https://nannydaily.com/features/activity-log) (Free and Premium): NannyLog is a childcare activity log for nannies and babysitters. Meals, naps, diapers, activities, milestones and photos are each a tap or two, timestamped, and visible to the child’s parents in their own app.
- [Daily reports for parents](https://nannydaily.com/features/daily-reports) (Free and Premium): NannyLog turns the day’s logs into a short daily report for the parents. On supported iPhones it can draft the summary with Apple Intelligence on the device, and parents get a push notification when the report is sent.
- [Hours tracker and clock-in](https://nannydaily.com/features/hours-tracker) (Premium): NannyLog includes a nanny hours tracker. Clock in with one tap when the shift starts, choose which children you are caring for, clock out when you leave, and NannyLog keeps the timesheet and totals for you. Parents can see the same hours.
- [Nanny and babysitter invoices](https://nannydaily.com/features/invoices) (Premium): NannyLog creates nanny and babysitter invoices from tracked hours. Add your payment details once, generate an invoice for a family, and share it as a PDF. Parents can also see invoices in their app.
- [Incident reports](https://nannydaily.com/features/incident-reports) (Free and Premium): NannyLog lets nannies and babysitters document incidents such as falls, bumps or behavior concerns with a severity level, notes and photos. Parents are notified and acknowledge the report in their app, creating a dated record.
- [Nanny–parent messaging](https://nannydaily.com/features/parent-messaging) (Free and Premium): NannyLog has built-in messaging between the nanny or babysitter and the child’s parents, so updates, questions and photos stay next to the child’s log instead of in personal text threads.

## Made for one family or several

Whether you are a full-time nanny with one family, share care between two households, or cover for several families across the week, NannyLog keeps each family’s children, hours, rate and invoices separate, and remembers which family you were working with.

## Look professional from day one

Consistent daily reports, written incident records and clean invoices show a family you take the job seriously. They also give you a record if there is ever a question about hours or what happened on a given day.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best app for nannies?

It depends on what you need. If you already have a job and want to log the day, send parents daily reports, track hours and send invoices in one place, NannyLog is built for exactly that. If you are looking for a new nanny job, use a caregiver marketplace; if you need payroll and tax filing, use a household payroll service.

### Is NannyLog free for nannies?

Yes, you can start free with one child and up to 10 log entries a day. Premium adds unlimited children and logs, hours tracking, invoices and arrival check-in for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

### Do the parents need to download the app?

To see reports, logs, photos and messages, yes. The parent app is the same NannyLog app and it is free for parents. You invite them from Settings → Parents and they enter the 8-character code.
