Leaving your kids with a sitter? Give them everything they need in one simple link — no app to download, no account for them to make. SitterScript is the calm, organized handoff for busy parents. Record your routine once — just talk, and our AI sorts it into clear instructions — then share a private link with any babysitter, grandparent, or nanny. Mark must-know instructions as critical so they surface first in the sitter walkthrough. THE 30-SECOND HANDOFF • Talk, don't type — brain-dump your routine and let AI organize it into bedtime, meals, screen time, house rules, and more • Mark instructions as critical so can't-miss notes are impossible to miss • Share one link — your sitter just opens it, nothing to install • Sitters ask "where's the?" or "what time is bedtime?" and get the answer straight from your notes • Your name and number are right there if they ever need to reach you • Add a co-parent so your script stays up to date together Fewer frantic questions, less guesswork — just hand off the script and go. Set it up once, reuse it for every sitter. Free to download and use.
