Sitterlog
Babysitter hours and pay, worked out for you — no spreadsheet, no payroll account
Add each sitter once with their standard, night and overtime rates. Start the timer when they arrive or type the hours in afterwards, and Sitterlog computes the exact pay, tracks what is still owed, and rolls it into monthly and year-end totals you can export. Free, no account.

What you can do in Sitterlog on the web
Per-sitter rate cards
Standard hourly, night and overtime rates per person, plus the hour night starts and the hours after which overtime kicks in — all editable, all applied automatically.
Live timer or hours by hand
Tap Start when they walk in and Stop when they leave, or enter the date, start hour and hours worked afterwards with a live pay preview before you save.
The pay maths, shown
Every session shows which rate was applied and why — a session that starts at or after the night hour bills at the night rate, and anything past the overtime threshold bills at the overtime rate.
Paid / unpaid ledger
The home screen leads with what you still owe across all sitters. Mark one session paid, or settle a whole sitter in one tap.
Monthly and year summaries
Spend per month as a bar chart, a per-sitter breakdown with share bars, and a January-to-December year view with annual hours and average effective rate.
CSV for the records
Export any sitter, any year, or the whole ledger as CSV — date, sitter, hours, rate applied, overtime hours, pay and paid status — for household-employee records at tax time.
