Being a professional and qualified nanny is one of the most wonderful and rewarding jobs you can do. But if you are working by yourself as a self-employed nanny then you know that your actual work day does not stop when you put the little ones to bed.
Managing the finances to make sure you are on top of the admin tasks in your business means that you need a handy tool which is easy to use and doesn’t require a math’s degree alongside delivering your childcare services!
As a qualified and professional nanny, Pocket PA is exactly what you need because it manages everything all in one place which means you don’t have to use multiple apps to co-ordinate everything. It was specifically created and designed for anybody who works by themselves for themselves and who needs a simple tool and it’s the perfect schedule planner for nannies.
It’s a web-based app for caregivers that can be used on your phone, tablet or computer and it’s the best one-stop solution for managing your clients and your finances when you work for yourself.
Whether you are offering night nanny services or needing to track your hours in specific timesheets for nannies, Pocket PA can be a great solution.
Tracking your income, whether it is paid every single week or month means you need to keep everything in one place so that when you do your tax return it’s very easy to put your hands on what you need.
As a nanny, as well as being self-employed, you will be able to claim for expenses related to your work so it’s vital that you keep all of your receipts. Pocket PA lets you snap, sort and store all your business expenses in the touch of a few buttons, and everything is saved on the cloud for easy access 24/7.
Managing all your day to day clients and families is made much simpler when you use the app especially if you have multiple jobs with several different families. The beautifully colour-coded diary lets you see exactly where you should be each day and is great to have as a reference point when you need to check back on anything.
Each family that you work for can be allocated a different colour for the work you do with them so it’s easy to know which children you are seeing on which days.
And once you have added them all to your diary, the income dial will show you exactly what you will be earning for any week, month or year. Understanding the finances of your work means that you will be on top of the financial health of your business which is vital when you are self-employed.
For a lot of modern day nannies, they also need to send an invoice to their clients and Pocket PA is perfect for doing that. The invoice can be sent by email with a clickable link for you to be paid directly into your account, which then gets logged onto your income dial. No messy bits of paper floating around that need filing, or worse still could get lost!
Spend time doing what you love, taking care of your children, and let Pocket PA take care of you by removing the stress out of managing the ‘admin stuff’ that might get in the way of being a modern day 21st century Mary Poppins!
