Who is responsible?
Name the parent, nanny, sitter, grandparent, or trusted backup—not just the event.
Childcare coordination app
Childcare coordination starts with one question: who has the kids?
The useful answer includes responsibility, children, time windows, changes, and what happens next.
What “childcare coordination” means
Childcare coordination is the shared work of keeping every adult aligned about who is responsible for the children, during which hours, and what needs a decision when the plan changes.
It is different from finding a caregiver, running payroll, or tracking someone’s location. Those are separate jobs.
Five questions a clear plan should answer
Which children?
Responsibility may be split. A useful plan should not assume every child is in the same place.
What is the time window?
Start and end times matter because responsibility changes at the edges.
What changed?
Exceptions—a late start, an early end, or a different person—often matter more than the regular pattern.
What happens next?
The next handoff or decision belongs in the same conversation as the current plan.
How Milava supports the care circle today
Caregiver access without a caregiver paywall
After a family invitation is accepted, a caregiver can sign in to see their own schedule and hours, allergies, and emergency contacts. Caregiver access does not require a subscription or show a paywall.
A read-only calendar feed
A parent can subscribe once from Apple or Google Calendar and the family schedule stays current there. This is free.
Optional questions about the week
When optional AI features are on, parents can ask about the week from their own schedule. Free includes 20 questions a month for the household; Premium has no monthly limit.
A Premium request to trusted backups
For a day and hours that need help, a parent can choose backup caregivers and send a Premium request.
Narrow by design
Milava coordinates the caregivers a family already trusts. It is not a caregiver marketplace, payroll service, baby tracker, or location-tracking app.
Common questions
What is a childcare coordination app?
A childcare coordination app helps the adults sharing care stay aligned about responsibility, children, time windows, changes, and next steps. It is different from a caregiver marketplace or payroll tool.
Who is family childcare coordination for?
It is useful when care is shared among two parents, a nanny, sitters, grandparents, or trusted backups and the answer to who has the kids can change during the week.
Can a shared calendar still be part of the system?
Yes. A shared calendar is useful for event times and reminders. Coordination adds the responsibility and decision context around those events.
