Can a staff member also be a parent here?
Yes, with one email and one login. Add both profiles and they switch between the staff view and the parent view inside the app.
Yes. A teacher whose own child attends your daycare uses one email and one login for both. You do not need two email addresses.
Set it up by giving the same email both memberships:
- If they are already staff, add them to their family as a parent the normal way. Because the email already belongs to someone at your organization, the parent membership links straight to their existing login.
- If they are already a parent, add them as staff. Because they're already at your daycare, the staff role links to their existing login too.
You only see Send an invitation instead if their account belongs to another daycare. Send it; accepting from their existing login adds your daycare to it.
Once both profiles exist, they get a profile switcher: on the web dashboard (in the sidebar, above Sign out), on their profile screen in the Android app, and on the profile screen in the iPhone app for admins and parents. On iPhone, a teacher who is also a parent doesn't have the switcher on their staff profile yet; they can switch from the web dashboard for now. They flip between the staff view and the parent view without logging out, and notifications for both keep arriving on the same device.
The same works across organizations: a director who is a parent at a different NestliCare daycare holds both under one login.
