🔔 Notifications and email
CaregiverBabyHub can reach you three ways:
- Push notifications on your phone or computer, even when the site is closed.
- The 🔔 bell at the top of the site, for notices inside the site.
- A daily email, if you want one.
All the settings are in My Account → Settings → Notifications.
What your lock screen shows
Phone notifications only show general text, such as 🔔 New request or ⏰ Reminder. They never show names or details, so nothing private appears on your lock screen. Open the app to read the full message.
Turn on push notifications
- Go to My Account → Settings → Notifications.
- Under 📱 Mobile & Push Notifications, tap Enable Push.
- When your browser asks, tap Allow.
You'll see "Push notifications are enabled on this device." Push is set up per device, so repeat this on each phone or computer you use.
iPhone and iPad
Push needs iOS 16.4 or later, and the site must be installed on your Home Screen from Safari. Push doesn't work in the regular Safari browser. See Install on iPhone and iPad.
Android and computers
Push works in most modern browsers. Allow it when asked. Installing the app is optional.
Choose which alerts you get
The Allow notifications switch turns everything on or off. Under Per-type alerts you can switch each kind on or off:
| Alert | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Caregiver/baby requests | New requests between a linked caregiver and little |
| Request responses | When a request is approved or denied |
| Diaper check requests | When someone asks for a diaper check |
| Diaper check responses | When a diaper check is answered |
| Caregiver notes | Notes a caregiver leaves for you |
| Punishments and urgent actions | Punishments and other high-priority prompts |
| Admin announcements | Site-wide announcements and release notes |
| Chore reminders | When a chore is due soon or was missed |
| Bedtime reminder | A nudge as bedtime gets close |
Caregivers also get Also send me my little's schedule reminders, which sends you a push at each of your linked little's schedule blocks.
Limit how many reminders you get
⏰ How many reminders a day sets a daily ceiling on nudges the site decides to send on its own, such as "your little has been quiet" or missed-chore reminders. Once you reach it, those stay quiet until tomorrow.
These never count toward the limit and always come through:
- reminders you set up yourself, like schedule blocks and bedtime
- diaper checks and punishments
- anything from your caregiver
Quiet hours
- Quiet hours & Do Not Disturb silences non-urgent notifications between a DND Start and DND End time.
- 🌙 Push Quiet Hours sets a start and end time when in-app notifications are held back.
- 🔇 Mute push by category can make your phone quiet except when a linked caregiver sends you something.
Quiet hours follow your timezone, so set it in My Account → Settings → Locale & Units.
The daily network digest
Turn on Daily network digest under ✨ Cross-app daily digest to get one friendly evening summary of what happened across the network (camp, daycare, the Schoolhouse, and more) instead of many separate alerts.
Daily emails
In the Notifications card on the Settings tab, a switch turns daily emails on or off:
- Littles get a morning email at 8 AM their time with the day's schedule, rules, and a bedtime reminder.
- Caregivers get an evening email at 7 PM their time about their little's day.
Emails use the timezone in Locale & Units.
Bedtime settings
Two more switches in the same card:
- Bedtime warning shows a banner before bedtime so you can wrap up.
- Lock the app after bedtime locks the site after bedtime until your scheduled wake time.
The bell
The 🔔 bell at the top shows notices inside the site, such as notes from your caregiver or report cards. The number shows how many you haven't read. Tap it to read and clear them.
