Baton Pass

For parents with nannies

Your nanny is working from last month's information.

Your nanny knows your child well. But the allergy list you gave her was before the last appointment. The medication dose changed. You updated the emergency contacts when your mother moved. She has none of this. Not because she does not care, but because information in a binder, a sticky note, or a text thread does not update itself.

With Baton Pass, she has one link. When you update the profile, her link immediately reflects the change. She is always working from the current version. Without you having to remember to tell her. You can stop worrying about whether she has the right information. She does.

How Baton Pass solves the "always current" problem for nannies

The nanny relationship is ongoing. The problem is not just giving her information once. It is keeping her information current over months and years.

Allergies: when the diagnosis changes, the pass changes

If the allergist upgrades a moderate allergy to life-threatening after retesting, you update the profile. Your nanny's link, the same one she has had for months, now shows the correct severity in red at the top. She is never working from a crossed-out-and-rewritten list.

Medications: always the current dose, always the current instructions

Medication doses change. New medications are added. Old ones are discontinued. With a paper list or a text, she has whatever you gave her last time. With Baton Pass, the pass always reflects what you entered most recently, including whether a medication now requires your approval before she gives it.

Emergency contacts: updated in one place

When your pediatrician changes, when your partner gets a new number, when your parents move, you update it in one place. Every link that references that profile immediately shows the new information.

Pickup authorization: clear and current for this week

Who is authorized to pick up today may be different than who was authorized last month. You control pickup authorization, and it is always visible in the pass. Your nanny knows exactly who should be at the door.

Audit log: mutual accountability without awkward conversations

You can see when your nanny last opened the pass. She knows you can see it. This creates natural accountability: she is motivated to stay current, and you have visibility without having to ask. No awkward “did you read the update I sent?” conversations.

Set it up once, update as things change

1

Build your child's profile

Add everything your nanny needs to know: allergies, medications, conditions, emergency contacts, pickup authorization, and care instructions. Takes about 10 minutes the first time.

2

Generate her link

Create a share link. You can set it to expire on a specific date or keep it open-ended for an ongoing relationship. Send it to her once.

3

Update the profile when things change

When the allergist calls with new results, when the dose changes, when contacts are updated: update the profile. She opens the same link she already has, and sees the current information.

Questions about using Baton Pass with a nanny

Does she get a new link every time the information changes?

No. She has one link that always reflects the current profile. You update the profile, she sees the update. No new link required.

Can she access it when she is out with the kids?

Yes. The link works in any browser on any phone with a data connection. She can reference it anywhere.

Can she make notes on it?

No. The caregiver view is read-only. She cannot add, edit, or delete any information.

How do I know she has reviewed the updated allergy information?

The audit log in your dashboard shows every time the link was opened, with the exact time and date. You can see whether she opened it after you made the update.

What if I want to share different information with different caregivers?

You can generate separate passes from the same child profile, or create separate profiles if the information needs to be genuinely different.

Also have pets?

If your nanny cares for your pets too, you can add pet profiles on the same pass — or set up a separate pet pass with feeding schedules, vet contacts, and behavioral notes. The same always-current logic applies: update once, she sees the latest version.
