Coordinating consistent school pickup across multiple caregivers

Families using multiple babysitters, nannies, or family members for school pickup struggle to communicate schedules, confirm pickups happened, manage emergency contacts, and swap coverage. Existing family scheduling apps like Cozi don't integrate real-time pickup confirmation, and parents resort to text chains that create confusion and missed pickups.
