Nannies
Can a nanny and the parents share one baby tracker without sharing a password?
A nanny has your baby three days a week, and the handover at 6 pm is a notebook, a text thread and a lot of "did she have the afternoon bottle?".

A baby tracker for the people who share the caring
Most baby trackers are built for one parent, with everyone else signed in as that parent. BubSync is built for the other arrangement, the common one: a nanny three days a week, a grandparent on Thursdays, a daycare day sheet, two parents whose shifts never overlap. Each of those is a different handover, and each has a page here that says exactly how it works and what it costs.
The thing they share is the rule the product is built on: nobody should need your password to look after your baby. On Premium, every carer gets their own login, sees the babies and the kinds of record you chose, and leaves a name on every entry. When the arrangement ends, you remove access; you do not change a password on every phone in the house. The free plan is one device plus the 24-hour handover link, which needs no login at all.
Grandparents
Can grandparents use a baby tracker app?
Grandma has the baby two afternoons a week, wants to do it properly, and would rather not be briefed at the door or handed your phone.

How do I keep a baby log across daycare and home?
The centre hands you a day sheet at 5 pm, the evening runs on it, and by bedtime nobody can remember whether the last bottle was 120 or 180.

How do shift-work parents hand over a baby without waking each other?
One of you does the nights, the other does the early mornings, and the handover happens while one of you is asleep.

What is free, and what is Premium
Every page above marks each step with its plan, so here is the short version. Logging is free, offline, on every plan. The care essentials and instruction manual are free. The 24-hour handover link, which opens in any browser with no account, is free for the sender and the reader, and it is the right tool for a trial day, a one-off afternoon or a babysitter once a month.
Live sharing between accounts is Premium: the nanny logging from their own phone into your timeline, the grandparent with a Family role, the roster parent seeing the day as it happens with sent, delivered and seen on every entry. One subscription covers the whole family, however many carers and babies, at A$9.99 a month or A$79.99 a year in Australia after a one-month trial. The pricing page has both plans side by side.
If you are still choosing an app
These pages assume you want to know how a particular arrangement works in BubSync. If you are comparing apps, the honest place to start is the best baby tracker apps in 2026, which puts seven of them side by side on Australian prices and says what each does better than ours. The shared-care question specifically is argued out in the shared baby care guide, and the offline and privacy questions in the offline guide and the privacy guide.
