Set Up Your Family Network (5 minutes)

Adding your children and trusted caregivers

  • Tap “Add Family Member” and create profiles for each of your children
  • Install OmniParent on your child’s device and link it using the pairing code provided
  • Invite other caregivers (grandparents, co-parents, babysitters) to join your safety network
