For care professionals
Stop signing in as the parents.
If you're a nanny, newborn care specialist, or postpartum doula, you know the drill: every family hands you their tracker password, and you log their baby's day as them. Milk Monster works the way your profession deserves — your own login, every family you work with under one account, your name on every entry, and a clean goodbye when a placement ends. And now you don't have to wait to be invited — you can set a family up yourself, on night one.

Erick walks you through the whole thing — your own login, a real edit and the history that keeps it, the one-tap shift handoff, and switching between the families you work with.

Live, every other Wednesday
Walk through it live, with Erick.
A 45-minute live walkthrough on Zoom — set up a family before the baby arrives, hand it to the parents, keep every family under one login — plus whatever you want to ask. Every other Wednesday at 1:30 PM Central. Register once and the link covers every session.
Save your spotFree, and you can just listen. Sessions are recorded.
The feature your profession has been waiting for
All your families. One login.
Every household you work with lives under your single account — the ones that invited you and the ones you set up yourself. Switch between families right in Settings — log for the baby in front of you, and every entry lands in the right family's record, in your name.
In the most popular trackers, "sharing" still means one shared login — the parents, and you, all signing in as the same person, in every family you work with. Milk Monster is built the other way around: caregivers are people, with their own logins, in as many households as they work with. See the comparison →
New — daily notes & the one-tap handoff
The handoff text, in one tap.
You know the ritual: log the details in an app, keep the real story in a phone note, then copy-paste it into a text at the end of your shift. Milk Monster folds it into one place — a free-form note for the day, kept alongside the log under your own name. When it's time to hand off, one tap composes the day's stats and your notes into the message, ready to send. Every day's notes stay in the family's record — and parents can read them live, even from their laptop.
Signed, scoped, protected. Everything you record carries your name and label — "Laura (Nanny)" — and your notes are yours alone: nobody can rewrite your words. You log and see everything, and you edit only what's yours. That protection runs both ways — it's what makes the log a professional record, not just a shared doc.
Built to protect your work
Your record can't be quietly rewritten.
Everything you log already carries your name — and now it goes further. If anyone edits or removes an entry you made, the log shows it plainly: what it was, what it became, and who changed it. The recording lives in the database itself, beneath the app, so it can't be faked or bypassed. Nothing about your work disappears silently.
And you can take it with you. One tap in Settings saves your log — feeds, sleep, diapers, notes, and its change history — as a file that's yours to keep. Export once a week, and always on your last day with a family: once a placement ends and you're removed from the household, its log is no longer yours to open. Keep a weekly copy as you go, and your own record of the work stays in your hands.
The old way
Shared passwords aren't professional.
Holding a family's credentials means holding their whole account — their settings, their data, everything. Nothing says who actually logged what. And when the placement ends, the only way they can take access back is changing their password. Everyone deserves better than that — you included.
How it works
Two ways in. Yours is yours.
1
Either of you goes first
The family can invite you in a tap — or you make your own account, create the family, choose “I'm helping out”, and invite the parents yourself. Either way, being someone's caregiver never costs you anything.
2
You log with your own login
Feeds, naps, diapers, pumping, meds — logged under your own name, from your own account. The parents' password stays theirs.
3
Your handoff writes itself
Keep a running note through the shift, and one tap composes the day — every feed, nap and diaper, plus your notes — into the text you send the parents. It lands in Messages still editable, so the final word is always yours.
New
Setting one up yourself, start to finish.
Two minutes on the phone: making your own account, creating the family on night one, choosing “I’m helping out” so it becomes the parents’ the moment they join, and logging a bottle and a change — with your name on every entry.

Why professionals like it
Your work, visible.
Professional care lives and dies on the handoff — days, nights, or a full 24. With Milk Monster, everything you logged through your shift is already on the parents’ phones before you hand over — every feed, every stretch of sleep, in your name. On iPhone, rocking a baby at 3am? Say the feed out loud — “Hey Siri, log four ounces of formula in Milk Monster” — and it's logged under your name, phone still in your pocket. The trust that builds is the kind that gets you rehired and referred.
Bringing a family on board
The app is free — sharing is their Premium.
Any family can use Milk Monster free, and every new account starts with a free week of Premium — which is what lets them invite you. If a family you work with wants a calmer way to stay in sync with you, point them to the app — or set the family up yourself and invite the parents. Their free week of Premium doesn't start until a parent joins, so you going first costs them nothing.
Working with several families?
We're building Milk Monster around professionals like you.
Milk Monster started when a professional nanny told us she was juggling a different password for every family. If that's your world, I'd genuinely love to hear how you work — and set you up properly while we build the tools for it.

Common questions
Caregivers & Milk Monster
What phone do I need?
An iPhone or an Android phone — Milk Monster is live on both. Get it on the App Store or on Google Play, and it doesn't matter who carries what: your login is yours, and every family's log looks the same on either phone.
Do I have to wait for the family to invite me?
Not anymore. Make your own account, tap “Start fresh”, create the family and baby, and choose “I'm helping out” — then invite the parents with a normal share link, by text or email. You can be set up and logging on night one, without waiting on anyone. The moment a parent joins, the family becomes theirs: you stay on as their caregiver, and every entry you recorded keeps your name on it. The two-minute walkthrough above shows the whole thing.
Does Milk Monster cost me anything as a caregiver?
No. Your account is free — whether a family invited you or you set the family up yourself. In a subscribing family, their Premium covers your access to that family's log. There is nothing for you to subscribe to.
Do I need the parents' login?
Never. That's the point — you sign in as you. The family invites your account — or you create the family and invite them — and either way every entry you log carries your name, and nobody shares a password.
What happens when a placement ends?
The family removes your access with a tap, and you're cleanly done — no password changes, no lingering access, no awkwardness. Your own account and its history stay yours.
Can parents see who logged each entry?
Yes. Every feed, nap and diaper shows who logged it — which protects you, too. Your work is visible: parents can see exactly what you handled through the night.
I work with several families — do I need separate accounts?
No. Whether a family invited you or you set them up yourself, each adds to your one account, and you switch between families in Settings. Each family only ever sees their own log — and everything you record carries your name in the right household.
How do daily notes and the handoff work?
Alongside the log, you keep one free-form note per day — the story between the entries, under your own name. When you hand off, one tap composes the day's stats plus the notes into a text and opens the share sheet; it lands in Messages still editable, so you always have the final word. Past days stay in the family's record.
Can I edit entries the parents logged — or can they edit mine?
You edit your own entries; the parents manage their family's log. Your daily notes are different: they're yours alone — only you can change your words. Everything is signed, so your work is always attributable to you.
What can I track?
Breastfeeding (sides and duration), bottles (expressed vs formula), pumping, sleep, diapers, temperature and medicine, growth, milestones — plus notes and questions for the pediatrician.
