The nanny log that writes itself
Your nanny taps a feed as it happens and it's on your phone before the burp cloth is folded. No handover sheet, no shared password, no second subscription — one family, one log.
- The log is the daily report Feeds, naps, diapers and activities land in the shared journal as they happen — no end-of-day report to write, no paper handover sheet.
- Their own login, the right role The nanny joins with a link and a free account of their own — no shared passwords. As a caregiver, they log the day but can’t change settings.
- One subscription, nobody billed twice One Plumi Pro covers the whole care team — the nanny pays nothing, and neither do the grandparents.
How the nanny joins
- 1
Send the nanny one link
Pick which children to share and give the nanny the caregiver role. The invite is a single link or a QR code straight off your screen.
- 2
They join with their own free account
The nanny installs Plumi, taps Join, and the children appear on their phone — with the history you chose to share, and nothing else.
- 3
The day logs itself along the way
They tap a feed as it happens, run the nap timer, tick off the routine. Each entry lands on your phone within seconds, with their name on it.
- 4
You come home already caught up
No handover download at the door: you watched the day as it happened, and the evening picks up exactly where the afternoon left off.
The daily report, already written
Every feed, nap and diaper the nanny logs lands in the same journal you use — totalled for the day, timestamped, with their name on each entry. You watched the day unfold from work; the handover conversation gets to be about the fun parts.
A routine you both can see
Put the day's plan in the routine — tummy time, vitamin D, the lunch bottle — and the nanny ticks things off as they happen. The shopping list catches "we're almost out of wipes" before it becomes a 7 a.m. problem.
Just suggestions, not medical advice. Ask your pediatrician about your baby's routine.
One link, the right permissions
Invite the nanny with a link and decide what they can do for each child: caregivers log the day and tick off care tasks, parents can edit everything. Share one child while the rest stay invisible, and remove access in a tap when the arrangement ends. Every entry shows who logged it, and it's all end-to-end encrypted. See how family sharing works

Nanny log questions
Does the nanny have to pay for anything?
No. The nanny uses Plumi with a free account, and sharing works as long as one person in the family has Plumi Pro. One subscription covers your partner, grandparents and every caregiver — unlike nanny-side apps that bill the nanny monthly.
Do we share one account or login?
Never — everyone gets their own login. That means every feed, nap and diaper carries the name of whoever logged it, and when the arrangement ends you remove their access without touching your own account or changing a shared password.
What exactly can a nanny see and do?
As a caregiver they see everything for the children you share and can log the day: feeds, sleep, diapers, timers, routine items, allergies. They can’t edit the baby profile, change reminders or lists, export data, or invite anyone. The full breakdown is on the family sharing page.
Can I share one child but not my other kids?
Yes, and it’s real separation, not a hidden tab: each child has their own encryption key, and the invite only carries the keys for the children you picked. A child you didn’t share is invisible by design on the nanny’s phone.
Can a nanny work for two families at once?
Yes. A nanny can be part of more than one family, keep the two sets of children completely separate, and leave one family without touching the other. Each family only ever sees its own children.
Is there still a “daily report”?
The journal is the report, written as the day happens: totals up top, the timeline below, filterable to feeds, naps or diapers. Nothing to type up at 6 p.m., nothing to lose in a text thread — and it’s still there next month when you wonder how naps looked in August.
How do I set expectations for the day?
Put the day in the daily routine: tummy time, vitamin D, the 12:30 bottle. The nanny ticks items off as they go, you see progress live, and any routine item can carry a reminder. There’s also a shared shopping list for “we’re low on wipes.”
What happens when the nanny stops working for us?
Remove them in Settings. They stop receiving anything new immediately, and the next time their app connects it deletes your child’s data from their phone — after saving them a backup of what they themselves logged.
Is our baby’s data private?
Yes — everything is end-to-end encrypted. Entries are encrypted on the phone before upload, and the keys travel only inside invite links, never to our servers. We can’t read a single feed, name or photo — and neither can anyone you haven’t invited.
Does this work for daycare or grandparents too?
The caregiver role fits anyone who helps: a grandparent on Tuesdays, a babysitter, a daycare worker with an iPhone. Up to 5 people per child, each with their own role. For splitting parenting duties with a partner, see family sharing.
Two phones, one baby, one story.
The nanny logs free. One Plumi Pro subscription covers the whole care team.
