          Add Reminder

          For a chore that happens more than once a day — like feeding the dog morning and evening — add each time. Each one gets its own check.

          Add Appointment

          For a child's appointment — awarded to them when you check it off as done afterward.

          What the Sitter Sees

          These switches apply to anyone sitting for you. Locked rows are care essentials — they're always shown so a sitter is never missing what matters in a pinch.

          Give or Take Points

          Cash Out

          A parent will pay you in person once they see it.

          Ask for a Reward

          A parent will decide how many points it's worth.

          Note for the Parents

          This shows up on the parents' home screen.

          Log a Med

          Logged with your name — it shows on the Care Card today and stays on the kid's profile.

          Set Up a Sit

          Always on (family helper)
          Repeats weekly

          Leave today's time blank if they're not sitting today. Access stays on for an hour past any end time so nobody gets locked out while still with the kids — and emergency info is never locked.

          What the sitter should know for this visit — it shows at the top of their screen today only.
