Curfew is an incredibly easy to use app that allows you to create records for each of your babysitters and set up timers to know exactly how much to pay at the end of the day. Timers still work when the app is not running - even if the phone is turned off (for those date nights at the theater or movies). Dark backgrounds let you discretely check your timer without lighting up dark rooms with your phone. You can even set up an alert so you get a notification when you're about to hit your spending limit!
