Family Account Overview

How It Works:

  • One Account, Multiple Profiles

    Create separate profiles for each child under your single parent account

  • Individual Tags per Child

    Each child gets their own wristband or keychain linked to their profile

  • Centralized Management

    Update all profiles, view activity, and manage tags from one dashboard

Setting Up Multiple Children Step-by-Step

1

Create Your First Child's Profile

Start with your first child:

  • • Go to Dashboard → Profiles
  • • Click "Create New Profile"
  • • Enter first child's information - Full setup guide
  • • Add emergency contacts (same for all kids)
  • • Save the profile

Tip: Complete one child fully before adding others - you can duplicate contacts later

Add Additional Children

For each additional child:

  • • Click "Create New Profile" button
  • • Enter child's name, age, and photo
  • • Add medical information and allergies (if any)
  • • Add emergency contacts (same as first child or customize)
  • • Include any special instructions
  • • Save the profile

Time saver: Since emergency contacts are often the same across all children, you can reference your first child's profile while setting up additional ones.

Blended Families

Managing step-children or shared custody:

  • • Include both households' contacts
  • • Clearly label relationships
  • • Add custody notes if relevant

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need separate accounts for each child?

No! One parent account can manage unlimited children. This is actually easier than multiple accounts.

Can both parents access the same account?

Yes, you can share login credentials or set up family sharing. Both parents can manage profiles and receive notifications.

What if my kids share tags sometimes?

You can quickly reassign any tag to a different profile through your dashboard. Takes just 30 seconds to switch.

Is there a limit to how many profiles I can create?

No limit! Whether you have 2 kids or run a daycare with 20, you can create as many profiles as needed.
