Parents miss most of the milestones. Show them the day as it happens.
Meals, naps, and park time land on a live timeline parents can check from work. You stay with the kids.

Parents text because they can’t see the day.
An end-of-day summary doesn’t tell them how the 10 a.m. nap went.
One Wednesday, two very different days.
The anxious workday
Mom texts at 9:30 to ask if he ate. Dad asks about the nap at 11. By lunch you’ve explained the schedule twice.

Lunch & quiet time
You tap as the day goes. Mom checks on her lunch break, sees the photo from the park, and goes back to work.
Full-time, shares, newborns, after-school.
Full-time positions
One family, forty hours a week. Build the routine once, duplicate it each morning, and leave the parents with a record they’ll actually keep.
Nanny shares
Two families, either one shared timeline or one each. You log the day once and everyone sees it.
Newborn & infant care
New parents want the numbers: ounces, times, how long the nap lasted. Log a bottle in two taps and they have them.
After-school care
Pickup at three, handoff at six. A few taps cover homework, snack, and play, and they see it while they’re still at work.
Set it up once. Use it every morning.
Most nannies have their first timeline running in five minutes.
Build the routine
Breakfast, park, lunch, nap. Save it as a template, then duplicate it the next morning.
Send the link
Text it to both parents on day one. They open it in a browser, no app and no account.
Tap as you go
Mark each part of the day done and add a photo when something happens. Nobody composes texts.
Built for how nannies actually work.
Most of it happens one-handed, mid-snack, while someone asks for a banana.

Live updates
Tap once and they see it.
Breakfast marked done shows up on their screen right away, photo included.

Questions nannies ask us.
- How is this different from Tadpoles or Brightwheel?
Those are built for daycare centers with dozens of kids, staff ratios, and compliance requirements. Hotlyne is built for independent nannies who want a simple, real-time way to keep parents connected without the overhead.
- Can parents check in without interrupting me?
That's the whole point. They open the link whenever they want and see where the day stands. No texts, no calls. You stay present with the kids.
- What kind of updates can I share?
Anything that matters to the family. Meals, nap times, activities, milestones, moods. With Pro, attach photos of the art project or a candid moment at the park.
- Can I reuse the same routine template every day?
Yes. Build it once, duplicate it each morning in one tap. Fresh timeline, same structure, zero setup.
- Do the parents need to download an app?
No. You share a link and they open it in any browser. Mom, Dad, grandparents, backup sitter. Everyone uses the same link.
- How does this help me stand out in interviews?
A branded timeline tells a family you have a system. Show them how the day gets logged right there in the interview, instead of promising you'll text.
- What about nanny share?
Create separate timelines for each family or a shared one for the group. Each family gets their own link with visibility into their child's day.
- Is there a free plan?
Yes. Up to 5 active timelines, completely free, no credit card required. Most nannies start here and upgrade to Pro when they want branding and photos.
Start for free. Upgrade as you grow.
