>My wife and I had a really complicated spreadsheet for tracking how much we owed our babysitter – it was just complex enough to not really fit into a spreadsheet easily. I vibecoded a command line tool that's made it a lot easier.

Ok, please help me understand. Or is this more of a nanny?

Not technically a nanny, but not dissimilar. In this case, they do several types of work (house cleaning, watching 1-3 kids, daytime and overnights, taking kids out.) They are very competent – by far the best we've found in 3 years – and charge different rates for the different types of work. We also need to track mileage etc. for reimbursement.

They had a spreadsheet for tracking but I found it moderately annoying – it was taking 5-10 minutes a week, so normally I wouldn't have bothered to write a different tool, but with vibe coding it was fairly trivial.
