If you are like my wife and I, we rely on babysitters for everything from the occasional date night (occasional = once per month if we are lucky) to picking up the kids from school and taking them to an activity if we are still at work. There are a ton of services that help you find babysitters. That wasn’t our problem. The problem was we were still communicating and managing them in a very manual way. That is why we created ParentsPal.
ParentsPal was designed by parents, for parents, to more easily manage and communicate with babysitters they already use either regularly or for the occasional date night. This includes sharing key information, creating each babysitting appointment, managing tasks you want the babysitter to complete, and paying them through a secure mobile environment.
The key features of the app include:
No more wondering if the babysitter knows when you need them.
No more wondering if the babysitter did what you asked them to do.
No more stopping by the ATM to grab cash on the way home.
The app is free for the first 30 days. After that, the Parents are charged $4 per month (you can cancel at anytime…no commitments) for unlimited use. Your babysitters are not charged anything to use the app. The charge is because we are not advertising in the app. Advertising requires us to sell or transfer your information and frankly, I use the app and I don’t want my family info shared with anyone. The information on this app is secure and is not shared.

The key features of the app include:
- Create a Sitter or Parent Profile: The first step is creating your Parent or Sitter Profile. This information is only seen by your connected Parent or Sitter and only while they are working for you. Now you can stop writing all this information down on scrap paper hoping the Sitter doesn't loose it.
- Setting Up Appointments: Parents can setup various dates and times when they need their babysitter. These requests are sent to your babysitter using his/her email address. You will be notified when they accept your appointment. No more Sitters wondering "Did you want me at 7 or was it 7:30?"
- Task Creation: In each appointment, a Parent can setup Tasks they want the Babysitter to do. The Babysitter will be alerted at each task and the Parent will be informed when each task is complete. Finally, enough with all the "Are they doing what I asked them to do?"
- Mobile Payment: Don't stop by the ATM on the way home. Simply use the mobile payment function within ParentsPal and save yourself time. I mean, who carries cash anymore anyway?
