Control Access for the Babysitter

Parents, we know one of your hardest jobs beyond raising your kids is finding a reliable babysitter you can trust. It can take years to build up a level of comfort where the babysitter is like family.

Until that happens, it's best to restrict the babysitter's access to only those times when you need them in your home.

One of the easiest ways to do this is with a Wi-Fi smart deadbolt that lets you create temporary entry codes from your phone.

How a Smart Deadbolt Improves Babysitter Safety

With a smart deadbolt like the Schlage Encode BE489WB, you can program a temporary entry code that expires automatically, or you can simply delete it once the sitter leaves.

The beauty of this system is you don't need to be home to do the programming. Any smartphone, tablet, or internet-connected device will do.

Whether you're home when the sitter arrives or at work, you can create a code on the fly and erase it from the lock's memory when you send the sitter home.

The Schlage Encode connects directly to your home Wi-Fi — no hub required — and works with the Schlage Home app, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.

This kind of keyless access does wonders for busy families, and for moms and dads who need their kid-free time.

You don't need to be home to let the sitter in, make any key copies, keep doors unlocked, or worry about the sitter losing a spare key and it falling into the wrong hands.

By replacing physical keys with an easy-to-set code, walks with the kids around the neighborhood, or a trip to the ice cream store, are less of a hassle for the babysitter. Your doors won't get left unlocked while they're out either.
