For families with a nanny

Nanny hours and pay, settled every week.

Kins is one shared calendar for your family and your nanny. Your nanny confirms the hours, you approve the week, and you both see the same statement. No spreadsheets, and no texts asking how many hours it was.

How a week works

Three steps, every week, and everyone sees the same numbers.

  1. Plan the week

    Set your usual schedule once. Move a day, add hours, or mark a day you cancelled.

    Parents
  2. Confirm the hours

    Your nanny confirms the hours actually worked and submits the week from their phone.

  3. Approve and pay

    You get the statement by email, pay the way you already do, and tap Paid.

What Kins handles

The rules you agreed on, applied the same way every week.

Overtime done right

Time and a half after 40 hours in a week, counted for you. No calculator, no surprises on payday.

Time-off requests

Your nanny asks for days off with the notice you agreed on. You approve or decline in one tap.

A record nobody argues with

Submitted weeks are locked. Corrections keep the earlier version, so you can always see what changed.

Pay the way you already do

Optional Venmo and PayPal buttons fill in the amount. Kins records the payment; it never holds your money.

More than one nanny

Each nanny has their own rate, schedule and weekly statement, all on one calendar.

Everyone on the same page

Both parents and your nanny sign in with their own email and see the same week.

For parents

  • See the week at a glance, and the month ahead.
  • Approve the week from the email.
  • Keep every statement and payment in one history.

For nannies

  • Confirm your hours from your phone.
  • Overtime is counted for you after 40 hours.
  • See what you're owed and when it was paid.

Questions

Common questions

Does my nanny need an account?

Yes. They sign in with their own email to confirm hours, submit the week and request time off. They see their own schedule and pay, nothing else.

Does Kins work on my phone?

Yes. Kins is a website that works in any phone or computer browser. There’s nothing to install.

What if a week was wrong after we approved it?

A parent can reopen the week, fix it and resubmit. The earlier version stays in the history.

Does Kins hold our money or run payroll?

No. You pay your nanny the way you already do, and Kins keeps the record. If you use a payroll service, keep it: you can export approved hours as a spreadsheet.

A little less admin. A little more peace of mind.
