Let’s share the care

Care Number gives your family one shared number. Calls and texts forward to whichever parent is on duty that day or week — automatically.

One subscription covers both parents.

Break the default parent trap

When your phone is the one that rings every time, it’s easy for the responsibility to snowball.

Research confirms it: many moms become the default contact for schools, daycares… everything. That pattern is hard to break, even when dads want to be more involved. Over time, the constant interruptions drain energy and focus for moms — and it leaves dads feeling out of the loop, too.

Care Number creates a clear, shared system for handling incoming communication about your kids. Set the schedule once, and it runs reliably in the background.

Calling. Texting. Handled.

The on-duty parent gets the calls

Hand one number to schools, daycares, sitters, and doctors. When they call, it rings the parent who’s on duty — so the other one isn’t pulled away from working or resting.

Incoming calls from School Office, Daycare Center, Soccer Coach, and Doctor's Office

…and the texts, too

Incoming text messages route the same way. While you’re on duty, you can read and reply to them right inside the app — no forwarding, no copy-paste, no missed messages.

Set the schedule. It runs itself.

Daily or weekly rotations are supported, with custom start times and days to fit your family. Change it anytime and routing updates instantly.
