How to invite a grandparent, sitter or the other parent

Open your family’s page, tap the + beside Helpers, and fill in their name and email. Choose a role (Parent, Grandparent, Nanny, Babysitter and others) and tap Add Helper. They get an email from you with a button to join, and you can Share the link by text too.

Tap Add Helper. Then tap Share the link to send it by text as well, or Done.

What happens next

They get an email from you saying you’ve invited them to your family.
If they haven’t opened it a day later, the app sends you a nudge to check in with them.
To send it again or take it back, tap the ⋯ beside them, or open their profile: Resend Invite or Revoke Invite.

Good to know

Invitations sometimes land in Junk. A link from your own number gets opened, so Share the link helps.
The Family plan has room for one other parent or guardian and three helpers. Premium has room for up to eight.
