Babysitters & household help – included in the price

Hand over without hours of explaining, and nobody sees too much, whether it's a babysitter or household help.

• Invite them with a link, and they get a narrowly scoped view – just the assigned children, nothing else.

• In an emergency, the right number is easy to lose track of.

  One tap is enough for the emergency call, the poison control number matches your country, and your address opens straight in the navigation app. The checklist and evening log work offline too and sync by themselves later.

• Your household help should know what's on this week, without looking into your family life.

  You invite them as household help and just send a link, in the browser, no app. They see their bookings, their jobs, your notes and the address, but no children, no calendar and no finances. On a weekly booking you set regular jobs such as “clean the bathroom”: patchio creates them on every booking day by itself, for babysitters too.

• One evening moves, and suddenly the plan is out of date.

  You plan bookings as one-offs or weekly and edit them later with the pencil instead of creating them again. If a booking overlaps with another one for the same person, patchio tells you on which day. In “My bookings” the carer keeps their dates in view – all at no extra cost.

• “What's for dinner tonight, and when does the little one go to bed?”

  The meal plan shows the carer what's on today, with the name of the recipe. For each child you add what helps with sleeping, eating and settling down.
