Open HouseloopA clean nanny and daycare handoff, without another app for the sitter
Houseloop turns each day into a Daycare Sheet that lists today's feeds, naps, and diaper changes plus supplies and notes, then shares it through a revocable read-only link. Your nanny, babysitter, or daycare opens the link in a browser with no account and no download. You can revoke access anytime, and parent logging stays live so both of you see the same day.
Free to start, with a 7-day trial on Plus. Use it in your browser.
The Daycare Sheet, generated for you
Every feed, nap, and diaper you and your partner log rolls up into one dated sheet: today's feeds (with bottle amounts in oz or nursing by side), naps and wakings, and pee and poo counts. Nothing to fill out by hand at drop-off.
A link the sitter can open, not an account they must make
Share a read-only link and your nanny or daycare sees the day in a browser. No signup, no app install, no password to reset. It works for a one-off babysitter or a full-time nanny the same way.
Revoke access the moment it ends
The caregiver link is revocable. When a sitter's night is over or a nanny leaves, turn the link off and their access stops. You decide who can see the sheet and for how long.
Supplies and notes travel with the day
Add what to send (bottles, diapers, a change of clothes) and any notes the caregiver needs (allergy, favorite nap trick, what a tired cry sounds like) so the handoff carries context, not just numbers.
What goes on a nanny or daycare handoff sheet?
A good handoff answers the questions a caregiver actually asks: when did the baby last eat and how much, when did they nap and for how long, and when was the last diaper. Houseloop builds that from the logs you already keep, so the Daycare Sheet shows today's feeds with amounts, nap and wake times, and wet and dirty diaper counts without extra data entry.
You can attach the practical stuff too: a supply list for what to pack, and free-text notes for the things a number cannot capture (a nut allergy, the exact way this baby likes to be put down, or a heads-up that a tooth is coming in). The sheet is per day, so each morning starts clean.
Does my babysitter or nanny need to download anything?
No. The caregiver share is a read-only link that opens in any web browser. Your babysitter, nanny, or daycare taps it and sees the sheet, with no account to create and nothing to install. That is deliberate: the person watching your baby should be watching your baby, not fighting with a login.
Because it is read-only, the caregiver can see the day but cannot change your records. You and your partner stay the source of truth. If you want the sitter to be reachable in the app itself, that is a separate choice; the link is the low-friction default for handoffs.
How is this different from a baby-only tracker?
Most trackers log the baby and stop there. Houseloop is a baby tracker and a family follow-through app, so the same day you hand to a nanny is the same day both parents already share. Log a feed or diaper in real time and it notifies the other parent on their phone, which means the handoff sheet is never one person's memory of the day.
The same engine also runs the rest of the household: task handoffs that route reminders to the assignee, recurring chores, and a family notice board. For families juggling a nanny, a daycare, and two working parents, keeping the baby log and the household in one place is the point.
Questions
Can I share a daycare sheet without giving the sitter an account?
Yes. Houseloop generates a read-only caregiver link that opens in a browser. Your nanny, babysitter, or daycare views today's feeds, naps, diapers, supplies, and notes with no account and no app download.
Can I revoke a caregiver's access later?
Yes. The caregiver share link is revocable. When a sitter's shift ends or a nanny leaves, you turn the link off and their access to the sheet stops immediately.
What information is on the handoff sheet?
The Daycare Sheet shows today's feeds (bottle amounts in oz or nursing by side), naps and wakings, and wet and dirty diaper counts, plus an editable supply list and free-text notes for the caregiver.
Does the caregiver see live updates or a snapshot?
The sheet reflects the day you and your partner log. As you log feeds, naps, and diapers, the day fills in, so the caregiver sees the current record rather than a stale printout. Access is read-only, so they cannot edit it.
Is the caregiver share free?
The Daycare Sheet, Pediatrician Mode, and caregiver sharing are part of Houseloop Plus, which includes a 7-day trial. Real-time feed, diaper, and nursing logging plus partner notifications are free on every account.
