In the Netherlands, the rule is that from the age of 13 and 14 you can do some chores at home and in the neighborhood. This also includes babysitting for family and friends. Now everyone is different in character. What is the perfect age for babysitting? From what age can you babysit? It is best to ask yourself whether you know exactly what babysitting entails and whether you fit well into that picture in terms of character. Ask yourself whether you have a caring nature, you have a great sense of responsibility, know how to act in emergency situations and can keep the peace with children and whether you have good communication skills.

Average age of Charly's Angels
The average age of our Angels differs per municipality. The largest age range is 15-24 years. This mainly concerns flexible babysitting times, but also fixed days in the week. In addition, you also see many Angels ranging in age in the 25+ category; these are mainly Angels who babysit next to their studies and/or work, for example a fixed day of the week, but also flexible. Precisely because the babysitting work is so easy to arrange, in addition to the busyness of study and work and with an irregular schedule.
Different types of babysitting jobs
Do you also enjoy children? Would you like to babysit a fixed day or would you prefer flexible babysitting? Do you like babysitting during the day or rather in the evenings? At Charly Cares you will find various types of babysitting jobs. You can work as a nanny, as a full-time and part-time babysitter, during the holidays, for after-school babysitting work and au pair work. Curious about what suits you?
Determine your own hourly rate
This is great: at Charly Cares you determine your own hourly rate. We do, however, provide certain guidelines to help you out, for example setting a higher hourly rate when you work during the day. After all, you are a lot busier than when you babysit in the evening and the kids are already in bed. Read all our tips regarding determining your hourly rate on the website!
