# How to sign a child into Chore Boss

Add your child as a member in Settings under My Homes, then tap Invite next to their name and have them tap Join a Home on their own device. No email or account needed.

Your child can see and complete their chores on their own phone or tablet.
Your child doesn't need an account or an email address.

## Step 1: Create your child's member profile

Skip this step if your child already has a profile, for example because you added them when you set up your home.

1. On your phone, tap **Settings** at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap **My Homes**, then tap your home.
3. Tap **Add Member**.
   You can also tap **Add family member** at the top of **Settings**, then **Add a profile**.
4. Enter your child's **Name**.
5. Turn on **Limit Access** so your child can't change chores, rewards or settings.
6. Leave **Earn Rewards** on if your child should earn allowance or points.
7. Tap **Save**.

## Step 2: Join from your child's device

1. On your phone, tap **Settings** at the bottom of the screen, then **Add family member**, then **Invite someone to join**.
2. Tap **Invite** next to your child.
   If you chose **Their own phone** for your child during setup, you can instead tap **Send the link** on their card on the **Home** tab.
3. On your child's device, install Chore Boss and tap **Join a Home** on the welcome screen.
4. Tap **Scan** and point the camera at the QR code on your phone, or type the code and tap **Join**.

That's it: no sign-in on your child's device.
It stays on your child's profile and shows only your child's view.
If you have Premium, your child's device gets it too, so photo proof and the other premium features work there without a purchase.
Your child's card on your phone now lists the device (for example **Maudi's device**) and when it was last seen.
See [How to join a home with an invite code](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-join-a-home-with-an-invite-code).

If your child has their own email, Google or Apple account, they can sign in with it first and then join the same way.

## Remove a device

If a device is lost or handed down:

1. On your phone, tap **Settings**, then **My Homes**, then your home.
2. On your child's card, tap **Remove** next to the device.

The device leaves the home right away.
To add it again, send a new invite.

## Keep your child on their own profile

With **Limit Access** on, your child's profile can't add, edit or delete chores, and can't open the home's settings.
On a device that joined as your child, switching to another member asks a grown-up to press and hold, or for the PIN if you set one.
On a shared phone, your child can still switch to another member from the name at the top of the **Home** tab.
To stop that, set a 4-digit PIN:

1. On your phone, tap **Settings**, then **Home Settings**.
2. Tap **PIN (Optional)**.
3. Enter 4 digits and tap **Save**.

Now, when a profile with **Limit Access** tries to switch to another member, Chore Boss asks for the PIN.

## Troubleshooting

- **My child sees other people's chores:** check that your child's name is shown at the top of the **Home** tab.
  A profile that is not a **Household Manager** sees only its own chores and chores assigned to no one.
- **"Your profile is not allowed to make changes."** This is expected on a profile with **Limit Access**.
- **My child's device says "Premium Comes From Your Family":** check that your Premium is active on your phone, then tap **Check Again** on your child's device.
  If you just bought Premium, tapping **Check Again** unlocks it straight away.
- **I forgot the PIN:** on the PIN screen, tap **Forgot PIN?**.
  Chore Boss emails the PIN to the person who created the home.
