There is an app for everything these days, so it only makes sense that there would be a huge selection of the smartphone apps available for parents, nannies and babysitters. After all, if you are like most others, you don’t have time to go to the computer to find the information you are looking for every time you have a question. Apps simplify your life!
Top 8 Apps for Parents, Babysitters & Nannies
WebMD Mobile
Rather than running to the doctor or guessing what is wrong with your child every time they have an ache or sniffle, this WebMD Mobile helps to determine what their symptoms could be from. You can insert where the pain or issue is as well as any symptoms, and the app gives you an idea of what is wrong. Of course, this should in no way replace a visit to the doctor, but it does give you an idea of what is going on.

This app will become your best friend. Not only does it tell you were the nearest public restroom is, it tells you exactly how far away and if it is open or closed.
