Nannies look after children in a family's home, often several days a week, while babysitters cover evenings and one-off nights out. Many are still paid in cash at the end of the night or by bank transfer when the parents remember. Parents rarely have the right cash, and childcarers lose track of who owes what. A payments app that lets parents pay a babysitter in a few taps, sets up regular weekly payments for a nanny and keeps a clear record can win these childcarers, and every family who pays sees your app.

Let parents pay in a few taps
A payment link at the end of the evening means parents can pay straight away, even without cash, and the babysitter goes home paid.
