Get started

Carer app

Notify your team of incoming bookings and nanny placements.

Your carers get their own CareCaptain mobile app that allows them to:

  • Accept or decline casual bookings
  • See their past and upcoming bookings
  • Apply for nanny placements or temp placements
  • Be notified of booking updates and cancellations
  • Sync their Google or Apple Calendar
  • Opt-in for email notifications

Booking flow

Streamlined casual booking process.

1

Client books via your own website

Your CareCaptain casual booking form is embedded on your website so clients book as per usual.

2

You action the booking and send it out to your team

Select either the manual or auto booking option, then send it to qualified sitters or tag groups.

3

Your sitters are notified of the new booking

Suitable sitters are notified via mobile and can open their app to review the booking details.

4

Your sitters accept or decline the booking

Once the booking reaches the right carers, the response process is simple and immediate.

5

The accepted sitter's profile is sent to the client

CareCaptain can automatically send the accepted sitter's profile to the client for review.

6

Client clicks confirm or cancel

The carer is then notified and the booking moves into their confirmed bookings tab.

Email template preview

Custom emails

Customise your email templates to your liking.

This is the email sent to the client after a carer accepts the booking. It can be automated or manually sent, and it lets clients confirm or cancel while CareCaptain updates the booking and notifies the carer.

Invoices and booking fees preview

Billing

Charge booking fees and create invoices.

We've integrated with Stripe Payments to let you take booking fees and create invoices. You can choose to take upfront payment or charge the client after you've found a sitter.

Integrations

Designed to fit into the tools agencies already use.
