Simple Nanny - Baby Monitor helps parents keep watch while a baby sleeps, using two phones as a monitor setup. One phone can stay near the baby while the other remains with the parent in another room, at home, or while working nearby. The app combines monitoring with immediate wake-up notifications, two-way voice communication, a baby cam function, and a built-in lullaby. This makes it possible to notice changes in the baby’s sleep and respond without staying beside the crib throughout the entire nap or night.
Turn two phones into a monitor
The app is designed around two smartphones rather than a separate monitoring device. One device can be placed near the baby, while the other acts as the parent’s listening and communication point. The source describes the app as suitable for use anywhere in the house, making it useful when a parent is in another room or briefly outside chatting with neighbors.
Alerts and two-way audio
Simple Nanny provides real-time notifications when the baby wakes up, so parents do not have to watch the screen continuously. When attention is needed, two-way audio allows a parent to speak to the baby remotely. These functions work together by combining awareness of a wake-up with a way to respond before returning to the room.
Remote soothing tools
In addition to voice communication, the app includes a built-in lullaby that can be used to help settle the baby back to sleep. The baby cam function adds visual monitoring to the audio-based features, giving the setup more than one way to check on the child.
Reusing an older smartphone
An older phone can serve as one of the monitors, providing a practical way to reuse an existing device. Simple Nanny is described as compatible with most smartphones and as working best on devices running the latest operating systems. The app is free to download and use, with optional in-app purchases for additional features.
