How to use it
Before handing over, write when your baby woke, when they last fed and anything from the night. Thirty seconds of context saves the nanny guessing at the first nap.
Write each sleep, feed and diaper change when it happens, not from memory at 5 pm. Times are what matter most: when they fell asleep, when they woke, when they ate.
Activities, outings, mood and anything that is running low. A line or two is plenty.
The last box is for the parents: one or two things they need to know tonight. Keep the sheets in a folder if you want to look back over the week.
What goes on it
The single most useful thing for the evening. If the last nap ended at 4:30, bedtime looks very different from a day when it ended at 2:00.
Time, what and roughly how much. Bottles, breastfeeds the parent did before leaving, solids and snacks all count.
Time and wet or dirty. Handy for spotting patterns and for knowing when the last change was at handover.
What you did, where you went, how they seemed. It is the part parents read first, and the hardest to remember later.
Diapers, wipes, formula, snacks, spare clothes. One shared list stops the morning “we’re out of wipes” scramble.
Paper or phone
Paper works well when one nanny and one parent swap over at the door. It gets harder when a partner picks up on Tuesdays, a grandparent covers Fridays, or you want to know at lunchtime whether the morning nap happened. The sheet stays on the kitchen counter.
In BabyRelay the nanny logs the same things with one tap, every entry shows who logged it, and everyone in the family sees the same timeline live. When someone takes over, the app writes a handoff summary of the day so far for them. The QR code at the bottom of the sheet takes you to the app, and the six boxes are for your family’s invite code.
FAQ
The essentials are sleep times, feeds, diaper changes and a short note for the parents. Activities, outings, mood and a list of anything running low make the log much more useful at pick-up. This sheet has a box for each.
Mostly the nanny, during the day. The parents fill in the small morning box at drop-off (wake time, last feed, night notes), so the nanny starts the day knowing where things are.
Yes. Use one sheet per child per day. For a nanny share, give each family its own sheet so each set of parents gets their child’s day.
Parents: in the night and morning notes, say whether you are shifting the day gradually or switched on the day, and give that day’s nap and bedtime targets, so the nanny moves naps by the same step. Write wake and sleep times by the new clock. If your baby woke early, the first nap follows from the real wake time. The clock-change nap planner on this site works out each day’s times.
Yes, in the BabyRelay app. The nanny joins your family with an invite code and logs sleeps, feeds and diapers with one tap. Every log shows who did it, and you see it live. The free plan covers 1 child, you and 1 other caregiver; BabyRelay Family adds more children and caregivers.

Share the schedule with grandparents, nannies and co-parents. In BabyRelay everyone logs naps on the same timeline, the next nap window updates as they do, and a handoff summary tells the next person where the day is up to.
Free for 1 child, you and 1 caregiver. BabyRelay Family adds more children and caregivers ($9.99/month or $59.99/year in the US, checked 24 September 2026). See pricing.
