For families who employ a nanny, housekeeper, or caregiver
Free nanny time tracker
Send your nanny a link. They log hours on their phone. You see everything on your dashboard -- overtime, notes, weekly timesheets. No app for them to download, no account for them to create.
Free forever. No credit card required.
Most nanny time tracking apps are built for offices and shift workers. They want your nanny to download an app, create an account, and learn a new tool. That's not how household employment works.
NannyKeeper's time tracker is built for families. Your nanny gets a single link that works in any browser — no app, no login, no passwords. They log hours or clock in and out, and you see a clean weekly timesheet on your dashboard. Overtime over 40 hours is calculated automatically. When you're ready to run payroll, the hours pre-fill so you don't re-enter anything.
How it works
Three steps. About two minutes to set up.
Send your nanny a link
From your dashboard, tap "Send time tracking link." Your nanny gets an email with a magic link they can bookmark.
They log hours on their phone
Your nanny opens the link and logs hours -- clock in/out or enter hours at the end of the day. Works on any device.
You review and run payroll
Check the timesheet on your dashboard. When you're ready, hours auto-fill into payroll. Overtime is calculated for you.
Everything you need to track nanny hours
A web link that works like an app. Nothing to install.
One magic link to bookmark. You can revoke anytime.
Your nanny picks whichever mode feels natural
Early pickups, schedule changes, extra errands
Hours over 40/week get flagged automatically
Send the weekly report to your spouse or accountant
Works for any household employee
If someone works in your home on a regular schedule, this is for you.
