YouTube Nanny

Frequently Asked Questions

Is YouTube Nanny available now?

Yes. YouTube Nanny and its parent, school and therapist dashboards are available today. TikTok Nanny and Roblox Nanny are in development.

Is YouTube Nanny part of YouTube or Google?

No. YouTube Nanny is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google.

Does AI analysis always get the answer right?

No automated system is perfect. Findings should be reviewed by a responsible adult and used as supporting information rather than a final determination.

Does YouTube Nanny replace parental supervision?

No. It helps adults prioritize what deserves review; it does not replace active parenting, supervision or professional judgment.

Will I know when my child starts watching a high-risk video?

Yes. When a child begins playing a high-risk video on a registered device, YouTube Nanny can send the parent an immediate push notification based on the family’s selected safety settings.

Which devices can trigger push notifications?

Only supported devices that a parent registers and connects to the child’s YouTube Nanny profile are included in active monitoring. Parents remain in control of which devices are registered.

What makes a video high risk?

YouTube Nanny compares AI-assisted findings with the parent’s selected safety preferences and thresholds. Categories may include violence, sexual themes, profanity, drugs, hate or harassment and other potentially concerning material. Automated findings should still be reviewed by a responsible adult.

Can parents choose what generates an alert?

Yes. Parents can choose safety preferences and notification thresholds for their family. A push notification is generated when a registered device begins playing content that exceeds those selected settings.

Does YouTube Nanny block the video?

YouTube Nanny currently focuses on analysis, alerts and parent awareness. It does not claim to replace platform controls, direct supervision or dedicated blocking software.

Can schools and therapists use the platform?

Yes. Dedicated school and therapist experiences are available with role-appropriate tools and access.

Can I pay through the website today?

Yes. Paid-plan buttons open the secure WooCommerce checkout. After a successful order, customers continue to the matching secure Parent, School or Therapist account-registration page.
