How to add leave

Keeping track of time off is essential for accurate records. In Nanny Admin, you can log paid leave, unpaid leave, and sick leave in just a few steps. This guide walks you through how to add a leave entry.

1. Open the Leave entry form

  • Tap Add from the bottom navigation.
  • Select Add Leave to open the leave entry form.

2. Select the leave type

  • Choose the type of leave:
    • Paid leave
    • Unpaid leave
    • Sick leave

3. Tag a family or nanny

  • For nannies: A family must be tagged to each record. If you’re part of only one family, it will be auto-selected. 
  • For parents: A nanny must be tagged to each record. If you only have one nanny in your family, they will be auto-selected.

4. Set the leave duration

  • Choose the Start and End dates of the leave.
  • The total number of days will automatically calculate below.
  • If you worked a half day, tap Select whole or half-day leave and choose the appropriate option.

5. Optional: Add comments

  • Enter any additional Comments you’d like to keep on file.

6. Save the leave entry

  • Tap Add leave to save the entry.
  • The leave entry will now appear in your Records and reflect in your reports based on date and filters selected.

Important notes

  • Nannies: Your employer family doesn’t need to download the app. You can create a Family profile independently, and start logging straight away. If your employer wants to join later, you can invite them as a family member.
  • Parents: You’ll need to create a Family and add your Nanny before logging entries.
  • You can edit or delete entries later if needed (see how to edit records or how to delete records).
