Tips
- Use Take all N along to bring all children who can walk with you. Work and school hours can take children away from home.
- If a child lives at your partner's house, bring them home in Family before taking them along.
- Tap 🌙 Sleepover for a child who lives with you to stay at Auntie's, a cousin's or a school friend's until morning. Tap Bring back now to bring them home sooner. A sleepover does not change where the child lives.
- Children away at school, Grandma's, a sleepover or their other parent's home are not at home to care for.
