Caregivers

The nanny and grandma keep the record. You get on with your day.

Nobody knows your child's day better than the person looking after them: when the last bottle was, whether lunch got eaten, how many nappies so far. Tumbuh gives nannies, helpers and grandparents an app of their own with big buttons. One tap or one photo, and it's on your phone.

  • ✓ An app of their own
  • ✓ Big buttons, no typing
  • ✓ Free for the family

A day at home

Friday with the Pratama family

  1. 06:40
    Mum

    Feeds Raka before leaving. Taps Log, then Breastfeed left.

  2. 07:52
    Sri

    Sri arrives and taps “I'm here”. Mum, still on the road, knows straight away.

  3. 09:00
    Sri

    A task from Mum: one drop of vitamin D for Raka. Sri taps Done.

  4. 10:20
    Sri

    Raka has expressed milk. Tap Bottle, pick 120 ml. The card appears in the family chat.

    From the office, Mum sends a one-tap request: “Please send a photo of Adelia's lunch.”

    Sri

    Sri photographs the plate. Rice porridge with fish and spinach, 163 kcal, straight into Adelia's nutrition for the day.

  7. 12:30
    Mum

    Between meetings. The family chat already tells the story: bottle, nappies, lunch, nap. Not a single question asked.

  8. Saturday
    Grandma Wati

    Grandma's turn with Aditya. Same big buttons, same chat.

The caregiver app

The buttons follow the child's age.

Swipe to switch child. Each child has their own colour so nobody gets mixed up, and only the buttons that age needs appear.

  • Raka, 5 months: Bottles of expressed milk or formula, wees, poos and naps. The usual bottle sizes are already saved.

Family chat

A chat that tells the story by itself.

One chat for the whole family and the people who help. Every tap a caregiver makes appears as a small card, so you read your child's day the way you read any chat.

  • ✓Activity cards appear by themselves: bottles, meals, naps, wees, poos, mood
  • ✓One-tap requests from you: 📷 photo of a meal, 🌡 check temperature, ✅ task, 🕒 home time
  • ✓Ordinary messages still work, just like WhatsApp
  • ✓New nanny? The story carries on in the same chat

Tasks

Tasks that are remembered, not left in a message.

Vitamin D at 9, fifteen minutes of morning sun, packed lunch for kindergarten. Set it once and it repeats every day. The caregiver sees it on the Log screen and taps Done. Anything missed shows on your Home screen.

Who can do what

Caregivers log. Everything else stays with you.

Nannies, helpers and grandparents all join as caregivers, with the same rights. An older sibling or another relative who helps decide things can be given the parent role instead.

Caregivers only see the children you assign to them. Other children in the family are invisible to them.

Getting started

Set it up once, in three steps.

  1. 1

    You add the caregiver

    In Family members: name, Gmail address, their role (nanny, helper, grandpa or grandma) and the children they look after.

  2. 2

    They sign in with their Gmail

    On their own phone, Android or iPhone, in the browser. Nothing to install. All they see is the Log screen and the chat.

  3. 3

    You just read

    The family chat for today, Home for the summary, History for everything.

Control

Change a caregiver's access any time.

Pause

Access stops for a while, say when the nanny goes home for Lebaran.

Resume

When they're back, they can log again straight away.

Change children

Change which children they look after when their duties change.

New caregiver

A new nanny joins the same chat. Everything before stays there.

Remove

Access ends there and then. Everything they logged stays, under their name.

Questions about caregivers

Do caregivers cost extra?+

No. Caregivers in your family are free. One or three, the family pays one monthly price.

Our nanny doesn't read very well. Will it work?+

Yes. The Log screen is big picture buttons: bottle, meal, wee, poo, sleep. Meals are a photo. There's almost nothing to read or type.

What does a caregiver need?+

A phone with internet and a Gmail account. Tumbuh opens in the browser, so there's nothing to install.

Can caregivers see growth charts or my child's weight?+

No. Growth charts, weight, flags, vaccines, documents and doctor visits are for parents only. Caregivers see the Log screen and the family chat.

What if a caregiver logs something by mistake?+

Every entry can be undone with one tap. Caregivers can't delete anyone else's entries; parents can delete anyone's.

What happens when a caregiver leaves?+

Remove them in Family members. They can't sign in any more, and everything they logged stays, under their name.

Let Tumbuh keep the records. You keep up with your kid.
