💛 Your first week as a caregiver

A printable checklist to get you and your little set up. Most of it is a one-time job. Pace it over the week and do the setup together where you can.

For littles

This page is for your grown-up. Yours is Your first week as a little.

Day 1: Your account​

  • Sign up at caregiverbabyhub.com/register with an email, a pen name and a password.
  • Under My Role, choose Caregiver (or Switch if you take both roles).
  • Confirm you are 18 or older, agree to the terms, and tap Create your space.
  • Verify your email from the link we send, then sign in.
  • In the welcome steps, set your display name and your timezone. Reminders, notifications and daily emails all follow it. You can change it later under Account, then ⚙️ Settings, then 🌍 Locale & Units.

One account works in every CBH app, and signing in on the main site signs you in to the others.

Linking is free.

  • Your little opens caregiverbabyhub.com/caregiver, taps Link a caregiver, then 🔑 Generate Pairing Code.
  • You open caregiverbabyhub.com/caregiver, tap Link the little you care for, type their 8-character code and tap Link with Caregiver 🔗.

Codes link instantly and work once. If a code doesn't work, ask them to tap ↺ New for a fresh one.

Other ways in:

  • Invite link. From Connect, Bring your little to you gives you a link. If your little signs up with it, you're linked automatically.
  • Co-caregivers. A little can link more than one caregiver. Set what each can do in 👨‍👩‍👧 Co-parents (edit rules, issue punishments, manage rewards and points, request diaper checks).
  • Babysitter. 🧸 Babysitter Mode (caregiverbabyhub.com/babysitter) gives someone a time-limited invite with only the permissions you choose.

Day 1 or 2: Notifications​

  • Install the main site on your phone. See Install guides.
  • Turn on push: Account, then ⚙️ Settings, then 🔔 Notifications, then Enable Push. On iPhone, open the app from the Home Screen icon first (iOS 16.4 or newer).
  • Choose which alerts you get (requests, diaper checks, notes and more), and set quiet hours.

Days 2 to 5: Build the dynamic together​

Open the Dynamic Builder (caregiverbabyhub.com/dynamic/build). Until it's done, most of My Dynamic stays greyed out. It's 17 steps in five parts; you can stop and Continue from Step N any time. The ones that matter most in week one:

  • Rules. Start with a few clear rules.
  • Rewards and Punishments. What can be earned, and consequences you both agree to.
  • Schedule Builder. Wake and bed times for free days and work days. The apps' scenes and reminders follow these.
  • Routines and Chores. The daily structure your little sees and ticks off.
  • Limits & Safewords (required). Their safeword or traffic-light system, hard limits, and your emergency plan.
  • Contract & Agreement, then Review & Activate.

After that:

  • Set Permissions in Dynamic Settings (caregiverbabyhub.com/dynamic-settings): what your little may change on their own.
  • Try the Tracker and the Companion for logging on the go.
  • Explore the AI Caregiver if you'd like help between your own check-ins (free members get a daily message allowance).

Safety​

  • Make sure your little has a safeword saved (Safety Hub, 🔴 My Safeword).
  • Know what happens when they use it: you get Safeword Used right away. Stop, and check in on them as a person.
  • Respect hard limits from the Limits & Safewords step. The builder warns you if a limit clashes with a kink that's switched on.
  • Read the Aftercare guide and Consent Checklist on the Safety Hub (caregiverbabyhub.com/safety). Crisis resources are there too.
  • Decide what your little can reach in the community under Dynamic Settings, then 🏫 Community Access & Parental Controls.

Where to find help​

  • 🆘 button (bottom right): Help & Support. Send a support request or feedback; replies show under 📬 My requests.
  • ❓ Help with this page on many pages.
  • Guides & Checklists (caregiverbabyhub.com/guides), including the complete caregiver guide.
  • These help pages: docs.caregiverbabyhub.com, with search.
  • The 🌐 globe button: every other CBH app, including the Break Room, a space just for caregivers.
