About the service
I set up automatic nanny shift schedule generation for family daycare centers turnkey — not a universal personnel scheduler, but a system that knows from the start about the minimum nanny-to-children ratio in a group. If a group has eight toddlers and the regulation requires one nanny per four children, a typical shift constructor just closes empty cells without accounting for group composition and age. The system reads data on groups, regulations, and nanny availability, builds the schedule itself, and highlights weeks where the ratio is not met. Nanny replacement during illness is where control is most often lost, so I automate that too: as soon as a nanny is marked as unavailable, the system searches for a replacement from the backup list by age group, verifies the ratio is maintained, and puts the person in the shift without making phone calls. Each worked shift is recorded with exact start and end times, and from this history, the accounting department calculates salary, overtime, and surcharges for backup shifts. What's included in the setup: — ratio rules by groups and ages with updating when regulations change — list of backup nannies with tags by skills and age — export of shift history for payroll with filters by nanny and period
